National Lacrosse Championships 2025

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

What an amazing day of sunshine, smiles, and sportsmanship at this yearโ€™s Junior Prep Sports Day! Our brilliant pupils gave it their all across a wide range of events โ€” from high jumps and skipping to sprints, relays, and the ever-popular Tug of War!

The sun shone as families set up picnic blankets and deckchairs, creating a relaxed atmosphere across the school field. 
A huge shout out to our catering team for serving up a delicious BBQ feast with fresh salads, tasty toppingsโ€ฆ and a refreshing splash of Pimms for the grown-ups! 

And to top it all off? An ice lolly treat for every pupil, kindly gifted by our wonderful Parents' Association - the perfect way to end a fantastic day.
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!

๐Ÿ’ซ EXCITING NEWS! 

Earlier this year a number of our students picked monologues, recorded self tapes and auditioned for the @nationalyouththeatre 

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 Regรฉ-Jean Page, Ed Sheeran and Florence Pugh.

Congratulations to everyone who auditioned! Youโ€™re all so talented and we are very proud of you!
