Key Stage 2: A headstart on Christmas

Christmas is Coming

The elves were busy over the weekend transforming the Primary Campus into a festive wonderland. The addition of the trees and decorations and the sounds of Christmas coming from the music rooms remind us that the Christmas Concerts and Christmas Fair are just around the corner. This year’s Christmas Extravaganza will be on Wednesday 11th December, so please save the date. 

As always, we will be collecting presents to donate to the children at the Bangkok Refugee Centre. The children who the centre helps often leave behind everything to escape war, persecution or extreme poverty. A small gift can make a big difference when you have nothing, so we ask everyone in our community to prepare a gift box, which will be delivered to the BRC in time for Christmas. 

KS2 families can leave their gifts under the Christmas Tree in the School Office. The boxes could include: small toys, toiletries, books, underwear, etc. When you have filled and wrapped your box, please make sure it is clearly labelled. The label must include who it’s for - boy or girl - and which age group the box is suitable for. Boxes can be left under the Christmas tree in the School Office from today.

Putting up the Christmas Tree

Watch the Estates Team hard at work getting our Christmas Tree up in the Y6 Quad:

Maths Day 2019 

This Friday is Maths Day across the whole school. As well as taking part in lots of fun maths activities throughout the day, we would like all of the children (and adults) to come to school wearing a maths themed t-shirt. Keeping with our push on sustainability, please do not buy a new t-shirt for this day.

The Friday Night Game

Some of you might have heard of ‘The Friday Night Game’, a popular Basketball event that has been hosted at High School. We are pleased to announce another of these exciting evenings coming up at the end of November - and all for a good cause.

The Nord Anglia Expedition to Tanzania has in recent years become an important highlight on the calendar of some of our older students, as they travel to Africa to take part in community projects. One of the conditions of their place on the expedition is to do the majority of fundraising themselves.  Check out the poster below for details on how you can contribute just coming to watch a little basketball, some amazing dance performances and more.
