This term Year 3 girls have been learning about the Celts and their lifestyle. They had to design a Celtic torc and could have a go at making one. One particular piece of work stood out as the pupil did not use any of the materials suggested (clay, playdough or plasticine) but she used her initiative and turned the task into a baking…

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.

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.
