The month of August gets its name, like July, from a particular individual - the Roman emperor Augustus. Augustus itself is an adjective meaning 'venerable', and its root can be connected to various other 'au-' words, including 'authority' and 'augment' and 'inauguration'.

Etymology of the day: ‘prevaricate’, to behave indecisively and avoid important decisions, is from the Latin ‘praevaricari’, to ‘plough crookedly or haphazardly’.

Over 5000 items donated to the Hillingdon foodbank in our @NorthwoodGDST Harvest Festival. When people need it the most the generosity of the #NWCfamily never ceases to amaze me - Thank you everyone! @TrussellTrust #GDST #GDSTfamily #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits #stopUKHunger

Update from UCAS. More to come tomorrow.
Following yesterday’s announcement - here’s a message from our CEO, Clare Marchant. In a nutshell: - We’re working with the Government to clarify what school closures mean for your application. - We’ll update you tomorrow. - If your application is affected we will email you.

A sad and difficult day but we will support all our girls through this. Parents, I know you will all be feeling uncertain but even if our building is shut we are open. Our family are strong and there is still a lot to smile about! #NWCgirl #TeamSpirit #community
