A year of learning in our Wilberforce House building

Tuesday 8 March was not only International Women’s Day, but it also marked a year to the day of our building at Wilberforce House opening.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

In June, the School turned 129 and Her Majesty the Queen celebrated her Platinum Jubilee. In true Study style, the school came together and threw a wonderful party to celebrate both occasions.

We enjoyed a patriotic cake fit for a Queen!

The whole school joined in to sing the National Anthem and The Study school song

The girls crafted their own crowns for the party

Each year group made bunting that decorated the playground

Remembering the Queen

Autumn Term started with the sad news that Her Majesty the Queen had passed away. We found many ways to explore the Queen’s inspiring life and extraordinary achievements with our girls.

Dearest Elizabeth,

You have ascended above the land of love.

It’s time for you to return with your husband up above. Instead of a crown you get a halo. Everyone will remember you for all you have done. But it’s time for you to get your tea and a biscuit. Your corgis are trying to wake you up.

It’s no use but they won’t give up. Thank you for the years, for all your time and love. Now I am one of two again. In our palace up above.

Alexa, Year 5

Year 5 wrote poems of remembrance and Mrs Moreno delivered Alexa’s poem to Green Park to sit alongside the messages of condolence from across the nation.
