Throwback Thursday Today's trip down memory lane takes us back to 2019 - a day filled with ice cream, house photos, and plenty of smiles! Looking through old boarding memories reminds us just how special our community is.

It has been a busy week in Boarding, with students working hard through both their internal and external examinations. From early morning revision sessions to focused evening study time, our boarders have shown determination, resilience, and commitment throughout the week.

Our boarders put their teamwork, problem-solving, and nerves to the test on today’s Saturday trip to the escape room… and they escaped with just 5 seconds to spare! From cracking codes to solving clues under pressure, the girls worked brilliantly together.

A huge well done to all of our students who took part in their DofE Silver Expedition this weekend. The Chilterns provided the perfect setting, with plenty of sunshine helping to lift spirits along the way. It was a challenging few days of walking, camping and teamwork.

A massive well done to three of our fantastic boarders who delivered a brilliant group lesson to a Year 6 class starting their topic on China. Our students introduced where China is in the world, shared famous landmarks and cities, taught key Chinese phrases, and calligraphy.
