Pupil Blog: Prep 5 Trip to the Fire Station
When I woke up on Tuesday morning, I knew it would be an exciting day. When I got to school, we left straight away on the minibus. After a few minutes, we arrived at the fire station, where we were greeted by a very nice man (who was a volunteer). He told us all about…
Children’s Mental Health Week at Edenhurst
Ahead of Children’s Mental Health Week, we took time to come together and explore this year’s theme, “This Is My Place.” Through thoughtful discussion and shared reflection, the children talked about what belonging really means and how it feels to be a valued part of the Edenhurst community. We explored the idea that everyone’s “place”…
Pupil Blog: Prep 4 Visit to Cadbury World
My day at Cadbury World was AMAZING; I’ve never seen anything like it. My favourite part was the 4D cinema. I was screaming so loudly I couldn’t even hear myself. The first place we went to was the Aztec temples to learn about the beginning of cocoa beans, then we saw three cool hologram characters…

They have completed a full school audit, are monitoring energy use, writing an exciting assembly, and designing informative posters for our Eco Board. As part of their hands-on environmental work, Prep 5 led our first…
Head’s Blog: Pause for Thought
I have recently swapped radio stations on my drive into school. This was entirely by accident as, one morning, I stumbled across Pause for Thought on Scott Mills’ BBC Radio 2 show. Now, as someone who usually uses the commute to rehearse the day’s to-do list in my head whilst simultaneously singing along (very loudly)…
Head’s Blog: All I Want For Christmas
As we approach the final days of term and winter settles gently over Edenhurst, I find myself rocking into the school carpark with the radio turned up just a little too loud, singing along (enthusiastically, if not always tunefully) to Christmas classics. This week, one song in particular has taken up residence in my head:…
Pre-Prep Pupils Shine in Christmas Nativity
Our Kindergarten and Reception children took centre stage in this year’s Nativity performance, in which they retold the Christmas story with joy, plenty of sparkle and some ad-libbing! Supporting them was our wonderful Form 1 and Form 2 choir, whose clear voices and confidence brought the production to life. Their singing added depth and warmth…
Pupils Get Creative for Book Fair Poster Competition
This term, to help nurture a love of reading for pleasure, the Shool was delighted to host this year’s Book Fair. Children enjoyed exploring a wide range of books, sharing recommendations, and choosing new reads to take home. The Fair created a fantastic buzz around reading and also helped raise funds to support and enrich…
Staff Enjoy Festive Wreath-Making Workshop
As has become an annual tradition amongst staff at Edenhurst, we dedicated a staff meeting session to wellbeing and held a Christmas wreath-making or Advent candle table decoration workshop. Staff from across the School and the Nursery had the choice to decorate a real spruce wreath for their front doors or to create a table…
Celebrating Diversity and Belonging on Inclusion Day
We had a fantastic Inclusion Day at school! All our children and staff took part in a range of activities, from games and challenges to creative projects. The children enjoyed working in their house groups, from Reception to Prep 6, and it was lovely to see the mixed-age groups interacting so well and supporting each…
