19 MAY 2025 3 JULY 2023 Message from the Head of Prep Another busy half term draws to a close… While Upper Prep were pre-occupied with revision and study, our Lower Prep have been making the most of this good spell of weather with some exciting activities. Our Under 8 cricketers went to the Shrewsbury House Tournament and won five out of five matches. Year 2’s Evacuee Day allowed them to travel through time to try to experience what it was like for children during the Second World War. Reception pupils have been looking to the future, composing some wonderful space-themed stories. They have produced some stunning work and can feel very proud of the progress they have made with their writing this year. Year 3 had a day in the sunshine as part of a special Forest School joint event with Manor House. They were even able to try fried nettles as a snack! The Lower Prep and Upper Prep School Councils met this week and put forward some great ideas for making our school an even more special place. As always, there were plenty of suggestions for our catering team, although no nettle-based dishes featured. Even with the summer assessment window around the corner, many of our children have dedicated their spare time to submitting entries into the Rotary Competitions for Art, Photography and Writing. They should all be commended for their efforts and the judges’ comments reflected how impressed they were with the work that was put before them. Well done to all of those in Years 4 to 6 on sitting their summer exams this week. I hope they can now take a well-earned break. I wish you all a restful half term holiday.
Mr Heaver
