Upon arrival, the girls had a quick fruit break and then set off on their first…

On Friday 10 May, Year 2 visited Legoland as part of their Science topic ‘Nature Detectives’.

This included the Driving School…

As a one-off fundraising initiative for our chosen charity for the year – Malaika Kids UK – our girls have been given a tube of Smarties to take home.

The girls enjoyed discovering the four secrets of…

Girls in Year 5 and 6 have been working on silk painting this term. This is a really hard technique to master as the “Gutta”, which is used to draw the initial outlines, can be very hard to control – it’s a little like drawing with a tube of toothpaste! Despite this challenging medium the girls have produced some amazing results…

This term, girls in Nursery have been learning about ‘Spines, Feathers and Fur’ and to support their learning they recently visited Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital.

Girls in our Early Years gave a wonderful performance to their parents this morning, singing Easter and Spring songs.

On the first day of the Summer Term we launched our new morning school bus service, picking girls up in Beaconsfield New Town and Old Town.

We are already looking into offering a second route…
