12 JANUARY 2026 8 JANUARY 2024 3 JULY 2023 Message from the Head of Prep
Examinations are well underway for some of our Senior pupils, and I would like to thank everyone for being mindful of this and for using the alternative routes around the Sports Hall. The GCSE mock examinations will continue into next week. Our newly appointed Lower Prep School Council representatives will be meeting shortly, and I look forward to hearing their ideas. Lunch suggestions are frequently raised in these meetings, and our catering team works hard to accommodate the pupils’ requests. This week, our chefs were undeterred by the bleak weather and created a wonderful indoor beach–themed menu. Pupils enjoyed an array of exciting lunch options, including a selection of cupcakes and a watermelon carved into the shape of a hungry shark. In the classroom, our Literacy Leaders have been supporting younger pupils with their reading, while our Science Stars were delighted to receive their badges in assembly. Year 2 pupils have also been enthusiastic about their new Science topic: Plants. Congratulations to all who participated in this year’s Bebras Challenge. Each pupil completed a series of interactive tasks designed to develop logical thinking and age-appropriate problem-solving skills, providing an excellent introduction to computational thinking.
