Happiness is ....... learning to throw bowls on the pottery wheel! 

Happy St George's Day. We've been celebrating the day by dressing in red & white & taking part in lots of fun activities. Pre-prep children broken into groups & made dragons out of natural materials.  It was a glorious sunny day in which to enjoy our grounds. Ah, finally, the Summer Term!

Delighted to have been selected as a contender for 'Best for Art and Creativity' in the Week Magazine's guide to the UK's leading prep schools.

Congratulations to Imogen in Year 5 for winning the Year 5 & 6 category of the King Edward's School art competition for her 'Great Wave Reality' piece. It's wonderful to have it recognised in this way. Well done Imogen!

To continue our 110th birthday celebrations, the children came to school in fancy dress today, taking various decades as their inspiration. Lessons all centred around the history, literature, music & dance from their decade. Suffice to say, everyone had a fantastic day! Happy birthday St Ives!

A very fitting way of finishing off Year 2's topic, The Stuarts. Having designed & built their Stuart houses, the children enjoyed watching them burn down as they created their own Great Fire of London!

Year 4 spent today being Anglo Saxons. They learnt about their armour, made shields, enjoyed their crafts, learnt songs, re-enacted the story of Beowulf & learnt about attacks from the Vikings. It was a brilliant day & we're sure there will be some very tired Anglo Saxons tonight!

Happy Mothers Day to all our fab Mums for everything they do, especially after a Lockdown year. You've done a brilliant job at keeping the children happy, calm & learning & for making the transition back to school so seamless. Thank you!

We're rejoicing at being back at school & playing sport with our friends! So far this week the Prep School children have played Netball, indoor Cricket & enjoyed a Long Jump & Triple Jump Competition, whilst the Pre-Prep children have practised striking & fielding & have even attempted some mini-Rounders! Year 5 & 6 Athletics Clubs started again on Tuesday with Discus & Sprinting. It's great to be back!

It's so wonderful having everyone back! Nothing better than a busy school full of laughter, chatter, smiles & happy children. Here are some of our Reception children celebrating!
