National Lacrosse Championships 2025

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

On Thursday, our Pre-Prep and Little School pupils celebrated British Values Day by dressing proudly in red, white and blue and taking part in a whole host of themed activities.

In Little School, the children explored what it means to be British — learning about the values, morals, and behaviours that help create a happy, safe and respectful community. From welly wangling and traditional dancing to tennis, scavenger hunts, and biscuit decorating, there was no shortage of classic British fun!

Meanwhile, our youngest learners in Pre-Prep were busy making Union Flag hats, colour-sorting pom poms, and baking their very own scones.

Everyone came together at lunchtime for a traditional picnic — finger sandwiches, crisps, and waving flags in the sunshine made it feel like a true celebration.

A wonderful day of learning, laughter, and pride — well done, everyone!
We are delighted to announce that tickets are now available for our Summer Concert! 

Our end of year Summer Concert, taking place on Tuesday 1st July, will feature a range of performances from our larger ensembles from both Prep and Seniors. The programme will include Senior Orchestra, Prep Orchestra, Chapel Choir, Senior Choir, String group and more.

Entry is free but we asked that you reserve your seat online using the link in our bio. We will also leave the link in our story highlights! Drinks and refreshments may be purchased on the night at the cash bar.

This is the final chance of the year to hear music from our talented students, including our 2025 leavers, so book your seats now!
