Summer Gathering always closes at the graveside of Dr Cecil Reddie
What really makes us different is our colour, although I don’t mean the colour of our hair or skin. I don’t mean the colour of our clothes. What I mean is the colour of our soul and the colour of our spirit. Cecil Reddie chose our distinctive school colours - aubergine, paprika and avocado - because he was passionate, imaginative and emotional about colour, and he believed that these three best captured what he felt about the Abbotsholme estate. He was right. Just look out of my study window on a late summer’s evening.
What an array of colours I see in front of me in the Roseyard every Summer Gathering,with the range and variety of colours representing the range and variety of staff, pupils and parents at Abbotsholme! We are bright, even vibrant, and we are certainly never dull. Sometimes we may clash, but usually we complement. Some of our colour inevitably drains away when people leave, but new additions to the Abbotsholme paint box always bring their own unique colour.
