The Frank Moran Young Writers Award 2026
We are absolutely delighted to celebrate the remarkable success of...
Inspired by the famous Love Actually scene, our Reception children created a very special video to celebrate their wonderful mummies.
Holding up their boards, the children shared all the reasons they love their mums – from the sweet and heartfelt to the brilliantly funny!
There were lots of smiles, plenty of laughter, and some very honest answers too!
We hope all the mums in our school community and beyond enjoyed a lovely, relaxing Mother’s Day with their families yesterday. 💐
Please join us for our annual festive celebration, taking place in two weeks time!! The concert will feature performances from our wide variety of music ensembles and is a staple in the calendar for the whole school community.
We can`t wait to see you there!

Last night saw our Footloose company take their final bow 🤠💃🪩
What. A. Week!
To our audiences, thank you so much for turning up and showing so much support for the cast, crew and band. You have made this week so special.
Months of hard word was displayed this week in Bushell Hall. The sheer dedication and talent that are students posses is nothing short of extraordinary. ✨
Plenty more Footloose spam incoming!
Forest School is a weekly highlight for our Pre Prep pupils, who take turns with each class attending on alternate weeks. It’s a chance to step outdoors, explore nature, and enjoy learning in a completely different environment.
Each session begins with an important safety briefing from staff, including how to behave safely around a campfire and how to move carefully within the woodland space. While the campfire remains unlit during Pre Prep sessions, these rules help prepare the children for their future Forest School experiences in Prep – when they may occasionally enjoy toasted marshmallows around a real fire!
Once the adventure begins, the woodland becomes a playground for imagination and discovery. Children climb, dig, balance, swing and explore, while playing games such as “1, 2, 3 Where Are You?” a woodland twist on Hide & Seek that encourages careful listening to voices and the natural sounds of the forest.
After a busy afternoon of exploration, everyone gathers around the (unlit!) campfire to enjoy a story together. With a warming cup of hot chocolate and a biscuit in hand - an occasional Forest School treat, it’s the perfect way to relax, reflect, and bring a wonderful outdoor session to a cosy close.
Curious to see more of what our Pre Prep children experience?
Join us at our Open Day on Saturday 25th April, where our Pre Prep team will be delighted to share more about the enriching opportunities available and the many exciting things that happen each day in Pre Prep.
