Prep Chronicle YOUR ESSENTIAL ROUND-UP FOR THE WEEK 4 SEPTEMBER 2026 The Effingham Schools Trust is delighted to welcome Rachel Owens as our new Chief Executive Officer. Rachel brings a wealth of educational leadership experience, having worked across a wide range of schools throughout her distinguished career. Since beginning her teaching career in 1992, she has held senior leadership positions in both state and independent schools, most recently serving as Headmistress of St George’s Weybridge. Alongside her passion for education, Rachel has made significant contributions to school governance, charitable initiatives and the wider educational community. Born and raised in Bolton, Lancashire, Rachel studied Histor y at Somerville College, Oxford, before embarking on a career in education that has spanned more than three decades. She is also a keen sports enthusiast, having coached netball for over 30 years, and enjoys reading, travelling and supporting her twin sons in their hockey pursuits. As Rachel succeeds Mr Mike Farmer, who retired in August, we look forward to an exciting new chapter for the Trust. Her extensive leadership experience, commitment to educational excellence and passion for developing young people will be invaluable as we continue to grow and strengthen our school community.
Message from the Head of Prep Welcome back! After the long, hot summer break, the children returned on Thursday morning to embark upon the exciting challenge of a new academic year. It was hard to tell who seemed happier: the children at rekindling friendships or the parents at the prospect of school routines being re-established! Having celebrated great academic success with our Year 11 GCSE results over the summer, our attention turns to a new year and new opportunities. Right the way across the school, there is a vast amount to look forward to, both in and out of the classroom. Our extensive clubs programme commences next week and sporting fixtures are just around the corner. I hope to see many of you at drop-off, pick-up and forthcoming events, such as our information evenings, but for now I wish you a restful weekend ahead of what I am sure will be a busy term.
Mr Heaver
Message from the Chaplain
A reading from the Gospel of Mark Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee , he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me , and I will make you become fishers of men.” When Jesus called Peter to leave his nets and follow Him, Peter did not know exac tly where the journey would lead. He simply trusted and took the next step. At the star t of a new term, we are invited to do the same. Some of us are beginning in a new year group, meeting new teachers, taking on new responsibilities, or facing new challenges. Like Peter, we may feel unsure at times, but Jesus calls each of us to grow in faith, courage, and charac ter. Prayer Loving Father, As we begin this new school year, thank you for the oppor tunities that lie ahead. Like Peter, help us to trust in your call and to follow you with courage. Help us to grow in charac ter, showing kindness, honesty, perseverance, and respec t in all that we do. Bless our pupils, staff, and families. May our school be a place where faith flourishes, friendships grow, and ever yone is encouraged to become the best version of themselves. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
