Explore Week has been great fun for our students! A trip to Spain, a PGL adventure, archery, dodgeball, Army skills, a smoothie challenge, sugar crafting, kayaking, treasure hunts, Morris dancing, and golf - these were just some of the many activities students participated in!

Come and join us tomorrow for Gattonbury! A fantastic evening of music from our students!

On Saturday, we hosted our annual Senior Sports Day. The sun was shining (which is rare for a sports day!!), and our students had a great morning of sport and outdoor competitions with their friends. Thank you to all who contributed to making it a great event!

We finished #NationalBoardingWeek with our annual Big Boarding Bop! Inflatables, slushies, candy floss, and bubble tea - what more could we ask for?! It was a really enjoyable way to celebrate our boarding community. #ILoveBoarding
