The end of February arrived quickly, and pupils returned to school this week full of smiles and energetic holiday stories. The break clearly refreshed everyone and helped pupils and staff settle back into the rhythm of school life. The recent dry weather, milder temperatures, and longer daylight lifted spirits across the community.
Several prospective pupils and their families visited the magnificent school site. The pupils acted as excellent ambassadors and spoke with pride about their experiences. Families observed Year 3 mathematics, Year 2 handwriting, Year 7 science, and Year 6 English reading. These lessons offered a glimpse of the strong learning taking place throughout the school.
Year 6 pupils transferring to King’s enjoyed their Experience Day on Tuesday. They explored the senior school, met teachers, and spent time with current pupils. The week also included the Year 6 Book Review. Pupils shared work they felt proud of and spoke confidently about their learning, their teachers’ support, and their growing excitement for Year 7.
Middle School pupils continued working hard on their upcoming production of Frozen. Their final preparations show real commitment. Families are encouraged to book tickets soon, as the performances will fill up quickly. The school’s LAMDA pupils also completed their examinations this week and demonstrated their usual skill and confidence.
Year 8 pupils completed their mock exams. These results will guide their focus during the next three months.
The sunshine created perfect conditions for Wednesday’s sports fixtures. Pupils showed clear progress in recent weeks. The girls improved their passing and movement on the netball courts, while the boys performed strongly in their hockey matches.
