Whilst we battled a cold and wet spring, seeds were nurtured, green shoots of growth appeared, and award-winning results were achieved! We were thrilled to have received ‘Highly Commended’ in the category of Brilliant Boarding School, as part of the Muddy Stilettos Best Schools Awards 2024, we were a Finalist for Independent School of the Year in the Worcestershire Education Awards and we have just found out that for the second year running, we have been shortlisted for the ‘Small Independent School of the Year’ award in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards. This external recognition of the school’s excellence is encouraging for the whole community and great validation of all the hard work that the staff and pupils put in.
