24 hours of stage setup in 30 seconds…
As rehearsals get underway for our Year 8 end-of-year Shrek production, students are finally stepping onto the stage they have been working towards for months. One of the things we value most about school productions is the growth that happens …before the performance itself.
Rehearsals give students the opportunity to become more assured in themselves, learning how to communicate meaning through expression and connect with an audience.
These aren’t just skills for the stage, but an important part of helping young people express themselves clearly and be heard in all areas of school life.
We can’t wait to see it all come together. 🎭

This afternoon, we were delighted to welcome families to our Confirmation Service, followed by tea together in the dining hall.
Confirmation is an important milestone, offering students the opportunity to reflect on their journey and publicly affirm their faith in the presence of family, …friends and the wider school community.
Moments like these help young people develop the confidence to express their beliefs and speak with sincerity about the values that matter to them.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to mark this special occasion!

🚜 Yesterday, our Nursery children took on their biggest adventure yet with a trip to Manor Farm in Southampton, including an hour-long coach journey!
For many, this was a brand-new experience and they showed incredible courage from the moment they stepped onto the coach.
At the… farm, the children fed pigs and chickens, met guinea pigs up close and learned all about caring for animals. They even stepped into the role of farmers for the afternoon, and for a few hours Manor Farm had some very enthusiastic new farmers on its hands!
The children represented the school brilliantly and we couldn't be prouder of them. Judging by the naps on the way home, they had a fantastic time!

Through self-portraits and careful observation, our Year 6 pupils explored the features that make them unique!
It was an opportunity to reflect on personal identity and express their authentic selves by noticing the details that make them recognisably themselves.
They were …encouraged to see their individuality as something to be valued and celebrated, knowing that each person brings something distinctive to the world around them. 🌍

What could possibly go wrong wearing cricket whites to a science lesson?
Armed with measuring cylinders and a healthy dose of curiosity, our Year 6 pupils explored what happens when liquids of different densities meet.
Like all good scientists, they were willing to take a risk, …knowing that the outcome might not be exactly what they expected, but that is often where the most interesting discoveries begin.
Fortunately, the cricket whites made it through the lesson unscathed! 🏏🧪
