Football

There was a frisson when the word went round that Arséne Wenger was coming to open the Modern Languages Centre. There are numbers of Arsenal supporters around the school, but they seem to my observation to be fewer than those who support Spurs. Mr Wenger cancelled his appearance at Haileybury.  The local Spurs fans will be a bit green with envy for their opposite numbers in Almaty. The England team met young people from the school and the Almaty Oblast orphanage at the Dinamo Stadium in Almaty in June last year. Here is a picture of Peter Crouch of Spurs signing a ball for a Haileyburian.
