HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 26 MAY 2023
A note from the Head…
Pupil Achievements
This week Year 4 and Year 5 girls have enjoyed their visits to Patterdale Hall, and they have been so lucky with lovely weather too! Year 6 had some very informative talks in our Careers Carousel and also helped out Year 9 pupils in a Dragon’s Den exercise. There have been class treat picnics for two forms and the remaining House Swimming Galas have also taken place.
Congratulations to everyone who shared their achievements with us this week. We had trophies, medals and certificates in swimming, dancing, netball, gymnastics and running. Please do continue to encourage your daughter to bring in any awards she is given out of school.
Thank you very much to all the staff who have accompanied the residential trips during the last few weeks, and to the Patterdale team who have looked after us so well. Well done to the girls too, for their effort, resilience and great sense of fun. I think everyone thoroughly deserves their half term break and I hope you all enjoy a lovely week!

All seven Horcruxes had to be overcome before we could sleep safely on Friday evening. After attending potions class, whittling their own wands, creating Hedwig with origami, throwing an axe or two, vanquishing dragons from grass sledges and experimenting with making Butter Beer, a banquet was served in
