In light of the recent developments in Irvingly—in particular the revelation that magic is, as they say, 'out of order'—I have made the difficult decision to close the Pendergast School for Young Roses early this year. First-class passage home via the train has been booked for all pupils on Tuesday, June 12th, and any remaining tuition will be pro-rated towards education next term.

It is not a decision made lightly, but one made for the safety and security of our pupils. I hope ardently that the situation resolves quickly, and apologize profusely for this abrupt change of plans.

Sincerely,
