A note from the Head…
Form Captains and Vice Captains
Congratulations to all of the Year 6 girls who have survived the Senior Entrance Examination and certainly seemed in good spirits this morning, knowing it was out of the way! Interviews will take place next week, so there is still some focus and concentration needed, but generally our girls have excellent oracy skills, so I am sure these will go well.

Mrs C Laverick Twitter Please follow us on twitter @BSPDJnrGirls. Mobile Phones, Smart Watches and Valuables We have noticed an increase in the number of mobile phones being brought in to school since Christmas, and also several girls seem to be wearing smart watches. Phones have to be handed in on arrival at school and collected at the end of the day; they cannot be accessed by the pupils during the day. We appreciate that children travelling on the coaches or those who walk home may need a phone, but most children do not need to bring one to school and we would discourage them from doing so. Smart watches, which have the ability to connect to phones and send and receive messages, should also not be accessible during the school day and therefore the girls should not wear these in school. More generally, we would ask that valuable or expensive items are not brought in to school. It is very upsetting for the girls if these are lost or damaged. We would be grateful for your support in this.
News from The School Council The School Council spent time last term gathering feedback from across the school about things that the girls would like us to consider as developments going forward. They met with Mrs Laverick towards the end of term and some of their ideas are already in the process of being implemented. In particular, they were delighted to get the go ahead to order some large floor cushions for the library, which have arrived this week.
