It is with regret that Maltman’s Green will be closed from the end of the School day, Friday 20 march until further notice. This is in accordance with Government directives for all schools in England, in an attempt to limit the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). We hope to open in the Summer term to provide care to the children…

The country is currently in lockdown as the government try to halt the spread of COVID-19, and yet life still goes on and our girls have been doing some fantastic work. Beth in Year 2 wrote a wonderful adaptation of Jack and Beanstalk – Jack and the Cress Stalk – as part of her Traditional Tales topic at school. She enjoyed…

Our Spring Term newsletter is now available to read. It is full of interesting stories from a busy, exciting term. “The world is a different place now to what it was at the beginning of the term but rather than focus on the dreaded ‘c’ word I want to take this opportunity to focus on the wonderful, amazing things that your girls…

As part of our Distance Learning programme while we are closed, teachers have been sharing videos with the children. We’d like to share with you Mrs Pardon’s Thought for the Day and Mrs Gaynor’s (Deputy Head) distance assembly. We hope that these help your children to focus on positive things and to look for joy in the…

This year World Book Day was on Thursday 5 March, but here at Maltman’s Green we celebrate Book Week – a whole week of fun activities to inspire our girls with a love of reading. This year, the theme was Fairy Tales. One of the highlights is the shared reading – girls spend time with those in other year groups, sharing their favourite…

Girls in Year 6 have been following our ‘creative curriculum’ to magically combine Geography, Maths and Design and Technology. Their study of rain-forests in Geography has been the inspiration behind a maths project where the girls have been learning about engineering. Each pupil chose an animal or plant from the rain-forest…

Yesterday was International Women’s Day and this morning girls have been celebrating great women. The Upper Prep girls had an inspirational assembly by Mrs Atkinson, looking at women in STEM, Sport and The Arts. Did you know that women make up only 28% of those working in STEM, but that the number of women who…

Each year we conduct parent surveys so that we can better understand the needs of pupils and parents and become a better school. We are delighted with the results from the surveys conducted in the Autumn Term, which show that 92% of parents feel that Maltman’s Green exceeds or meets their expectations…

As well as having fun, it was all about…
