Another fun-packed weekend for our boarders watching Six Nations rugby, lots of baking and cooking, table tennis tournaments, Nuclear High Ropes, and lots more! During our last full weekend our boarders enjoyed learning how to make fresh pizza with Italian chef Salvo @HolroydHowe

Yesterday we welcomed Ellie, @HolroydHowe nutritionist, to Hockerill and our students were able to sample lots of yummy dishes such sweetcorn fritters, banana blossom tempura, and jackfruit tacos. Ellie also spoke to many of our boarders on the importance of nutrition 🙂

Thank you @foundationdsm for spending the day with us and working with our students in Year 9 through to Year 13. Such positive feedback from all year group sessions.

Winchester House students organised a house concert in the chapel. Such an enjoyable evening with the opportunity to hear a variety of musical contributions from Bach to Billie Eilish. Thank you Mr Kemshell for accompany our guitarists, and to students for all their hard work.

This weekend our boarding students tested their limits @nukehighropes . They thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, some facing their fears to climb to the top of the course and zip line down.

Preparation is well underway for tonight's Senior Boarding Formal event
