This piece of work is so brilliant we just had to share it. It comes from our Head Girl in Year 6 who has been learning about the Battle of Hastings and wrote this inventive recount of the battle from a soldier’s viewpoint. Amazing work! This is a great example of the Creative Curriculum in…

Everyone at Maltman’s is super proud of how well the girls have taken to distance learning. They’ve been enjoying a blended approach of live lessons, recorded lessons and set work and have showed such enthusiasm! Below we have shared some photos of what the girls have been getting up to this week including Year 1…

Our Autumn Term newsletter is out. Read it now! “My first term at has flown by and it has been a privilege and pleasure to take up the baton as the School’s new Headmistress. I have spent these first few months observing, listening and getting involved in the classroom and extra-curricular activities, which has enabled…”

Just before the end of term, girls in Year 3-6 got the opportunity to design and write a Christmas card for an elderly member of one of local care homes, Rock House and Mulberry Court. The theme for the card was Christmas Angels and we’re sure you will agree their designs are fantastic. These cards…

Our wonderful catering team, Thomas Franks, outdid themselves in the days leading up to the end of term. In an effort to make Christmas during this strange year as festive as possible for the girls, they made gingerbread cookies, mini mince pies, Christmas biscuits and an amazing gingerbread Maltman’s Green!

We are very excited to launch a new project with our Year Librarian team: Best Books of the Week. This is a way for the girls to share their favourite books and spread their love of reading. Each week our Librarian, Mrs Ellis, and the Year 6 librarian team will choose a theme and the girls will select one Pre-Prep and one Prep appropriate book…

We are very excited to be launching new positions of responsibility in the school. This term, we selected a Head Girl from Year 6 to lead the pupils. Maltman’s hasn’t seen a head girl for many years and it’s great to be re-instating this special role. The Head Girl will be supported by her two Deputies and a team of Year 6 Prefects…

The Prep girls had a great time competing in their House Netball tournaments on Wednesday. We had postponed these event before half-term due to rain, but on Wednesday the sun was shining and so the girls donned their House colours and took to the courts. Congratulations goes to Johnson, who took first place in the…

Each term our Early Years girls come together to enjoy a special themed WOW morning. This term, though the coronavirus has caused us to change the way we run the WOW morning, it didn’t hold us back from giving the girls a fun, educational and vibrant celebration of this year’s theme – you guessed it,…

Thank you to the amazing Maltman’s community for the wonderful harvest festival donations. This morning the girls have enjoyed an excellent assembly by Mrs Walker and Mr Johnson from the London and Slough Run. Mrs Walker told a fun, interactive story about stone soup, which had the girls giggling, and Mr Johnson told us about…

We’re going on a bug hunt….we’re going to catch a big one! In Year 6 Science, the girls have been learning about classification. This week the girls focused on invertebrates and learnt about the sub groups that invertebrates belong to such as the Arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods), Molluscs (slugs and snails) and…

The girls are back in school and making the most of our fantastic facilities – including our wonderful Art room, stacked to the brim with paint, clay, crayons, coloured paper, chalk, ink pens, tissue paper…and so much more! Year 5 and Year 6 have been exploring the innovative and very colourful work of Paul Klee….
