NEWS FROM THE HEADS
And finally a huge thank you to everybody who has contributed to what has been an energised, successful, and creative term:
.... to our PTA Committee, who have taken up the reins with such drive and verve, to our non-teaching staff who every day do all those things that make our School work - our Admin team, Housekeepers, Catering team and the Maintenance team; to the teachers who always go that extra mile for their pupils; to our parents for your thoughtful support and commitment; finally to our pupils and students - without them our School would be as nothing. It has been wonderful to read their reports, and to witness all the myriad of ways that they support their School, each other and the wider community.
Do have a wonderful Christmas, I wish you all a happy New Year, and look forward to a new term which, as always, will be full of promise.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom Marcel Proust ... >>>
Eleven and a half weeks have passed and we are a third way through this academic year - unbelievable! The girls have worked incredibly hard all term and achieved many things. I had the pleasure (and I really mean pleasure) of reading all of the new reports, and they are very impressive indeed. The girls have given us many drama, sporting and musical performances of which we are exceptionally proud, as well as continuing to achieve fantastic results in their learning >>>
It has been a wonderful term in the Nursery Department and the PTA funded entertainment for the children on Monday was amazing. The children roared with laughter throughout Poz’s show and were delighted when Santa visited the classes at the end of the morning with chocolate reindeer, bears and Santas and a soft toy for each child. Again, we would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to our PTA for these gifts read more >>>
