National Lacrosse Championships 2025

Success at the National Lacrosse Championships We were thrilled to...

We absolutely LOVED our Summer Social on Saturday with our Early Years and Little School families – what an incredible School community we have!

From high-energy scooter tricks and lively storytelling to yoga, crafts, sensory play, and music, the whole day was bursting with fun, laughter, and connection.

We often say, “There’s something special about this School” – and Saturday truly was something special. We tried to capture the magic in a short reel… but with so many brilliant moments, keeping it short was impossible!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made the day so memorable. Here’s to sunshine, giant daisies, and the simple joy of being together. We can’t wait for more moments like this in our Social Series next year!

After a number of callbacks three of our Drama students were offered places at the upcoming Summer Course! 
Congratulations to Hannah, Olly and Max! 

National Youth Theatre empowers young people to tell stories and find their voices on leading stages, screens and behind the scenes. For nearly 70 years they have equipped young people with toolkits to realise their creative potentials, from Helen Mirren and Daniel Craig to Regé-Jean Page, Ed Sheeran and Florence Pugh.

Congratulations to everyone who auditioned! You’re all so talented and we are very proud of you!
