HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 9 JUNE 2023
A note from the Head…
Creative Thinking Gallery
Yesterday, Mrs Faulkner wrote to parents to share the report from the Independent Schools Inspectorate, following the inspection of Hesketh House at the start of the last half-term. For those who haven’t yet had chance to see it, the report – in which the school was graded as “Excellent” in each category - can be found on the School’s website here. I hope that you enjoy reading the report, which is a marvelous reflection of the hard work and achievements of the pupils and of my colleagues, and testament to their dedication and commitment to all aspects of Hesketh House life. I would like to take this opportunity once again to thank them for their significant efforts during inspection week and throughout the year, and to all those parents who completed the inspectors’ questionnaire and offered their feedback and support to myself and my colleagues. We are all delighted and incredibly proud! Mrs C Laverick Pupil Achievements We celebrated a range of achievements this week in our assembly, very well done to everyone on their various successes! Worth a particular mention are Francesca Longton, who recently competed in a triathlon in Lytham, and Poppy Rate, who played cricket for Lancashire in a closely fought match against rivals Yorkshire. Well done. Congratulations also to Isla Jairath, who achieved a Distinction in her Initial Piano Examination, and Arwa Bhatia, who was awarded Distinction in her Pre-Preparatory Piano Examination.
Girls in Year 6 were very excited to engage with a wide range of visitors to their ‘Creative Thinking Gallery’ this week. Not only have they gained a great deal in the course of the project, but it was lovely to see them pass on their enthusiasm and knowledge so confidently. They were excellent in adapting their presentations to their audience, whether that be a Year 2 pupil from Beech House, a member of staff from Senior School or visitors from outside of Bolton School. Well done to the girls, and also to the staff who have really engaged with this rethinking assessment and real world learning research, in collaboration with Bill Lucas at the University of Winchester.
