Sports Day 

Sports Day was phenomenal this year, featuring a new format inspired by the Olympics. The children displayed remarkable effort and sportsmanship in each event, making the competition thrilling. Clifton House were in the lead for much of the event, but Sussex House clinched the top spot with a nail-biting sprint to the finish line in the relay race, claiming the overall winner of the Sports Day Cup for another consecutive year.

A highlight of the day was the enthusiastic participation of many parents in the parents' race. Mrs Hampton also made a valiant attempt, with all the children cheering each parent on with great vigour. A few siblings took part in the Mini-Me race, showing heroic effort and adding to the day's excitement.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making Sports Day a memorable and exhilarating event!

School Play & Costume Check 

We are all looking forward to our next school event - the summer performance on the 3rd of July at the Marylebone Theatre. Our senior pupils should now know their lines and the lyrics to their songs by heart, ready for a week of rehearsing. We would very much appreciate it if costumes could be brought into school in a named bag, which the children can hang on their pegs by Wednesday. We are hoping to have a dress rehearsal on Friday morning.

Upcoming

School Photograph

Our annual school photograph is scheduled for Tuesday 25th June. Please ensure that your children are dressed smartly in their summer uniform and have tidy hair on the day.

Artwork of the Week

Sami, Fayyadh and Teddy in Form Three, for creating a fantastic volcano sculpture, inspired by Joseph Wright of Derby’s painting of Vesuvius in eruption. Excellent teamwork, a brilliant armature, and a very effective ‘explosion’ of lava! Well done!
