HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 28 APRIL 2023
A note from the Head…
Music Examination Success
What an exciting week we have had at Hesketh House. Monday saw our final round of House activities, as ever thoroughly enjoyed by all of the girls. On Wednesday we held our own Eurovision Song Contest, following on from our MFL Day in the Spring Term. Every class gave a presentation about their allocated country and performed their song. Our panel of judges were incredibly impressed by everyone’s efforts, well done!
Congratulations to Arwa Bhatia who achieved a distinction in her Initial Piano Examination recently. Very well done!
On Thursday we held our Open Evening and enjoyed showing lots of visitors around Hesketh House. A particular thank you to the Year 6 Ambassadors, who did a wonderful job in giving tours. I had glowing feedback from our guests, who were all very impressed. Next week, Year 3 are off to Patterdale Hall, where I am sure they will have a wonderful time. The rest of the school will have exams next week, so are perhaps not quite as excited! Year 3 will do their tests the following week. There will be tests for all pupils in English and Mathematics. Although we want the girls to take these seriously, please don’t let them get too anxious about it. The papers are sent away for marking and results are shared with parents when we get them back, usually a week or two after the half term break. Next Friday, we will celebrate the Coronation, with various activities in school. We would like the girls to come in their own clothes on that day, with a red, white a blue theme. Please make sure clothing, particularly footwear, is suitable for a busy day in school. Finally, a reminder that general queries should be directed to the Hesketh House office 01204 434761 or juniorgirls@boltonschool.org.uk. Please include your daughter’s name and form on any emails.

House Afternoon Monday 24 April The girls once again enjoyed a range of activities on our House Afternoon, including outdoor creativity, silk painting, biscuit decorating and woodland survival. We even had a visit from the Bolton School bees and a talk from their keeper, which was absolutely fascinating.
