10 MARCH 2025 3 JULY 2023 Message from the Head of Prep As we move through Lent, we take time to reflect on those less fortunate than ourselves. As part of this, children in the Upper Prep observed a Lenten Fast today. Rather than enjoying the usual bountiful offering, we contented ourselves with a much more modest meal of soup and sandwiches. This small sacrifice reminds us to be thankful for all that we have and the money saved is being donated to charity.
We are not only blessed to have a talented catering team, but we also have a fantastic Music Department and they played host to Glenesk School on Thursday as children in the Lower Prep came together for a musical celebration. Other musical highlights, which are just around the corner, include the Upper Prep House Music Competition and our annual Spring Soiree.
Well done to those children nearing the end of the Library Reading Challenge and good luck to everyone who has entered, or is planning on entering, the British Science Week poster competition. This year’s theme is Change & Adapt.
The Upper Prep School Council met this week and they were once again full of bright ideas. Suggestions included new clubs, new menu choices and fundraising events. Next week, our Lower Prep School Council will have the opportunity to share their ideas, over juice and pastries.
Good luck to all those involved with this evening’s CPA Quiz and this weekend’s hockey, rugby and swimming fixtures.
Mr Heaver
