16 JUNE 3 JULY2025 2023 Message from the Head of Prep
Across the year groups, we have been marking Values Week. The children have taken part in numerous activities and events to celebrate the importance of this year’s value: Community. They have spent time with each other, building the bonds of friendship and belonging that are the foundation stones of community.
Year 5 had an active start to the week with a wonderful class assembly about the importance of helping others followed by a countryside walk in the Surrey Hills. Year 3 had a fantastic time on Tuesday for their Viking Day with some incredible costumes on display. On Thursday Year 6 were joined by the girls from Manor House and St Teresa’s for a visit by the Onatti Theatre group to support their work in French. Next week, it will be their turn to take to the stage with their performance of Shrek. Year 4 pupils have been incredibly busy with team building sessions run by Wise Up and a trip to Hampton Court Palace. On Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting a celebration in our Chapel for those children who have made their First Holy Communion this year. It was a wonderful moment to mark this step in their faith journeys and to be able to welcome families from Manor House and St Teresa’s made it even more special. Well done to our Lower Prep children for the thoughtful messages they have shared with staff to say thank you for the part they play in being valued members of our school community.
Cricket and tennis fixtures continue aplenty and there has been recent success in the pool and on the track. Next week, we have Sports Days to look forward to for all year groups. Please remember during this hot spell of weather to send your children to school with named water bottles, sun hats and sun cream. Good luck to our cricketers as they take on Donhead tomorrow.
Mr Heaver
