Pre-Prep 2 were fully immersed in their Computing lesson this afternoon, as they explored the VEX 123 Robot. The children began by marking an ‘X’ on the 123 Field, then coded their robot to follow a sequence that led it precisely to their chosen destination!
It was an engaging, ...hands-on way to combine teamwork and logical thinking, which made for an exciting and interactive lesson. Thank you, Mr Dimmock 😊

We are incredibly thrilled to share that, following our recent ISI inspection, we have successfully met all required standards and have been awarded SIGNIFICANT STRENGTH in recognition of the following:

This recognition speaks directly to our ethos and values and, in particular, our commitment to nurturing children who lead with kindness, empathy, and a strong sense of moral purpose.

Our children in Pre-Prep 1 ventured over to Oxford yesterday, to visit the Natural History Museum (@morethanadodo).
It was a morning full of discovery as they learnt all about fossils and how they are formed. They were taught how to investigate like a paleontologist, using their senses to... reach conclusions regarding fossils and artifacts; from teeth and bones to footprints and fossilised poo!
The children had a fabulous time exploring the dinosaur exhibits, and saw just how big a T-Rex really was! 🦖

On Friday, a group of Form VI–VIII art enthusiasts visited Compton Verney Art Gallery, where they immersed themselves in a variety of exhibitions and collections.
Compton Verney Gallery is home to a fantastic collection of Neapolitan art from the Golden Age of Baroque painting, as well ...as the largest Folk Art collection in Britain. The children drew inspiration from exhibitions such as The Shelter of Stories, sketching as they explored the gallery.
Our artists also examined the print works of designer and artist, Enid Marx, and spent time in the Folk Art Collection, discovering the work of Mark Hearld. These experiences provided valuable ideas for their own projects before they began designing and printing their own pieces. Overall, it was a wonderfully creative and inspiring day 😊.

In their science lessons, Form VII have been exploring light and how images are formed. To bring this learning to life, the children created their own pinhole cameras – a simple camera without a lens, using only a tiny aperture to form an image.
They put their cameras to the test on the ...Front Terrace, aiming them towards the Front Lawn and the Manor House. There, they were delighted to see a clear, upside-down image appear. This hands-on activity provided an engaging and practical way for the children to observe key principles of light and image formation in action. Well done, Form VII.
