The Junior and Senior Dance Shows and House Arts Festival showcased creativity and collaboration, while sporting achievements have demonstrated perseverance and team spirit.
For our younger students, the Year 3 annual sleepover and Easter fun in Pre-Prep brought joy and adventure, reminding us of the importance of play in learning. Over the Easter break, I had the privilege of visiting our Australian partner school, Abbotsleigh, and we are now delighted to welcome two students from Sydney into our community for the first half of the Summer Term
My thanks, as always, go to our dedicated staff and supportive families I look forward to all that the Summer Term has in store and wish our A level and GCSE Students every luck as they prepare for and take their public examinations this summer

Red Carpet Treatment The Bucks Book Awards
In celebration of the Bucks Books Awards this year, eighteen students from Years 7 and 8 put their regular reading aside to take on a number of books from the shortlist and were invited to a ceremony at School where they partook in bookish activities for the morning Replicating the Man Booker Awards, the day started with a red carpet and networking in the Café, where the students had guided conversations about the books they had read. They then moved over to the Library for literature-themed activities.
The students worked in groups to create their own book ideas, designing book covers and writing blurbs before 'pitching' their books to the rest of the group They posed as literary critics for the 'Pipers Literary Supplement', each writing a book review on one of the books, which will soon be printed in a mini newspaper for the Senior Library. They also worked in groups to devise drama pieces inspired by each of the shortlisted books, which they presented These main activities were peppered with games and quizzes, and, after the book winners were announced, there was one final surprise a talk with Sue Cunningham next week, who wrote the 'Pipers Choice' winner, Totally Deceased.
The Buckinghamshire Children’s Book Award is linked very closely to Pipers, as it was founded in 2018 by former Pipers Librarian Sue Harris
As a great lover of books, Sue set up the award to promote the best books written for young adults and children that were published within the last year The aim of the Bucks Book Award is to inspire and empower young people to read more and to share their love of reading with others.
We are very proud of our students spoke who about the books intelligently and eloquently

Pipers Senior Presents: The Crucible
"She catches a weakening in herself and downs it. She will not let herself be drowned in the sea that threatens her."
This powerful line captures the very essence of The Crucible, and our #PipersSenior students channelled that same inner steel in their thrilling and thought-provoking production of Arthur Miller’s classic play.
Set against a backdrop of suspicion, repression and hysteria, The Crucible remains a parable for our times, and the cast brought its intensity vividly to life with maturity, conviction, and an astonishing emotional depth
Performed in our professional Arts Centre Theatre space, the production drew the audience in, creating a charged atmosphere that held viewers rapt from start to finish. The students’ understanding of the complex characters and timeless themes was evident throughout, making for a performance that was both gripping and poignant
A heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved on stage and behind the scenes
Even more impressively, many of the cast members juggled this demanding performance week with a host of other commitments: EPQ presentations, LAMDA exams, Dance Shows, House Arts, and subject assessments - balancing it all with such energy and professionalism

Pipers Students become first Children to resurrect 400 year old classic Performance
On Monday 24 March, Rachael Fane’s May Masque (written in 1627) had its first childperformance in 400 years here at Pipers.
Directed by two students in Year 9 and performed by students in Years 5-8, the students replicated its original masque (performance) contexts At only 13 years old, Rachael Fane wrote this masque by hand in a tiny hand-bound booklet which is now preserved in the Kentish Library and History Centre
In recent years, scholars have worked to uncover and honour Rachael’s work, ever since Dr Marion O’Connor discovered and transcribed this masque.
The students brought this handwritten document to life with hard-work, creativity and innovation They used a new transcription provided by Miss Bones, Alumna and former Head Girl, which the Year 9 directors then made their own These two Year 9 students worked tirelessly on the performance where they developed leadership skills through directing younger years, read university-level articles and even wrote their own lines of poetry for the script
The actors auditioned and the directors were appointed after informal interviews They then rehearsed from January-March and performed it for their parents just after the Spring Equinox They did an incredible job and transported their audience back 400 years to when Rachael and her siblings first performed it for their household
In this difficult piece, the students made sense of the challenging language and even picked up on its humour Before the show, the students talked about their creative choices with Professor Deanne Williams, an expert in early modern girlhood from the University of York Professor Williams was deeply impressed by their understanding and commitment, particularly the creativity and thoughtfulness of the Year 9 directors The students went on to perform their dress rehearsal for Professor Williams and Professor Stephen Orgel, an expert in masques from Stanford University
After the show, the students did an interview panel about their experiences where they answered questions on the masque and what they had learnt, sharing thoughtful insights with their parents.

Year 12 showcase Impressive Research Skills
Year 12 students opened up their stands to the wider School community to showcase their Extended Project Qualifications (EPQ).
Each student worked hard to put together their display boards, keeping in mind their chosen subjects and how best to communicate them to other students and staff. Topics for dissertation this year included ‘Should the UK adopt a codified constitution’, ‘Does the evolution of historical perspectives on ADHD inform current understanding and management of the disorder?’ ‘Should a horse owner go through with medical treatment when their horse is confronted with a life altering situation?’ ‘Is Diplomatic Immunity Ethical?’ and ‘Nature vs Nurture’ We also had a performance EPQ this year using the influence of Jack Cole’s technique to create a musical theatre dance performance and an Artefact EPQ, which was the creation of a phonics board game for children with Dyslexia
To support their university applications and gain additional UCAS points, students were given just a few months to complete their projects This included selecting a topic and title, maintaining activity logs and diaries to track their progress, reflecting weekly on their time management, and ultimately producing either a dissertation or a final creative piece an original 'artefact' they create from scratch. The limited timeframe was a key factor students had to carefully consider in order to complete their work successfully
An EPQ offers students a number of benefits Universities regard it highly because it helps students develop essential academic skills, such as planning, researching, time management, referencing, and critically evaluating sources Students are also encouraged to draw their own conclusions, either based on existing research or from their own findings
