News Headlines

The weather would seem to be set fair for a fine day tomorrow and we are all very much looking forward to Sports Day. The children have been practising hard and we are sure that they will all give of their best. The school grounds and classrooms are open for inspection and we hope that visitors will take the time to have a full tour before they leave. The DT room by the tennis courts and the new Pottery in the Coach House are well worth seeing, and we also recommend a walk past Pony Grove to see the new outdoor learning area which is being developed in the woods (though do take care not to disrupt any of the projects there).

We are very fortunate to have a leading public figure to open our new building. The Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Education, has kindly agreed to be our Guest of Honour. The opening is at 1200 (details below). The building currently has a fine art display with a painting from every child in the school. Our thanks and congratulations to Mrs Lavery for organising the exhibition.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow and hope you all have a lovely day.


Golf News
Zac Jenkins (Year 6) and Xavier Schwarz (Year 5) competed in the MPS Golf Championships at Millfield School on Tuesday. The competition comprised sixty boys and girls from nine different schools in three age categories (U13, U12, U11). Zac, winner of last year's U11 trophy, posted the best score of the day with forty-six points to become the overall winner of the championship. Xavier scored forty points, the second highest total, taking home the U11 trophy. Both boys are to be warmly congratulated on their very good golf.
