On the same day, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 girls will find out their new teacher for next year and spend the morning in their new classrooms. All of the new pupils, including Year 2 from Beech House, will visit us too.

Parent Information Booklet Our Parent Information Booklet has recently been updated, a copy can be found here. Year 6 ESB Examinations Friday 9 June
A group of Year 6 pupils took their English Speaking Board examinations last Friday. During the exam, the girls had to recite a poem by heart, read an extract from a book (explaining their choice) and give a 4-minute talk on a topic of their choice. The girls were excellent, with the examiner giving feedback on their intellectual prowess, as well as their caring and supportive nature to one another. Well done! Pupil Achievements Congratulations to Petra Critchley, who helped her netball team, to become the U11 National Champions. In addition, Petra was awarded ‘Player of the Tournament’ for her team and then overall player of the ENG Tournament. She also scored 48 goals. Wow, well done Petra!
