On Friday 10th March, Form 1 and 2 were invited to St. Giles Church where they learnt all about Christianity. They got to experience what happens at Church every Sunday, from carrying the cross, to playing the organ and watching Miss Knight and Mrs Carroll dress up as a reverend. They even got to have…
To enhance our learning about animals, Reception visited Peak Wildlife Park on Wednesday 15th March. We had a fantastic time, getting up close and personal with some of the animals, including lemurs, wallabies and their joeys, sheep and goats. Afterwards, most of us decided that our favourite animals were the penguins, who we watched being…
The ISA U11 National Football Finals was a fantastic event. It was held at St George’s Park, which is an incredible facility. We had a full ‘away end’ of support, which made the day even more special. The boys arrived after a week of skiing in Austria, but still powered on through the day and…
Ski Week Last week, the Prep forms went skiing to Austria for our annual trip! Throughout the week we all showed fantastic courage and resilience (the teachers too!) to improve our skiing; make new friends and memories; and develop our independence! Not only did we ski, there were a range of evening activities to keep…

In Latin this term, Prep 5 have been studying the ancient myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. They began by reading a selection of texts describing the events of the myth to build up a broad picture of the story. We have been learning that over time, the details of myths and legends do change…
On Monday, 23rd January, Reception celebrated Chinese New Year. We told the story of the Chinese Zodiac, and learned about how people throughout the world celebrate Chinese New Year. We made Chinese lanterns, and dragons and fans to dance with. We enjoyed learning and performing our Chinese dances during our party. In maths, we learned…
Our Ski trip to Austria is almost upon us and our preparations are heating up! The children have been thinking about who they would like to share rooms with and having their measurements taken in preparation for our arrival. It’s amazing to think that over half of the children could not ski in September, yet…
