Huge congratulations to our Year 6 boys on their outstanding secondary school assessments outcomes. We are thrilled to celebrate so many successes, including an impressive number of scholarship awards and a wide range of exciting next step choices for our families.
These fantastic achievements reflect the boys’ dedication, hard work, and the exceptional support and teaching from our staff. We are incredibly proud of every single one of them.
We enjoyed a wonderful start to the week celebrating Lunar New Year!
Year 5 delighted everyone with a performance of their Young Voices song, before leading a special assembly on Chinese New Year. Pupils proudly showcased the vibrant masks they have been creating in Art, a fantastic display of creativity and cultural learning.
We love our rugby!
Year 4 had an amazing day at St Martin’s with some very competitive matches. Our Under 11s and Under 13s played fantastic games against Lockers Park, with Year 8 really hitting their stride in the second half scoring plenty of tries! A special shoutout to our Under 11 A, B and C teams, all dominant displays and great teamwork.
Our boys are loving every moment on the pitch and showing real skill, determination, and sportsmanship in every match.

Creativity has been flowing across the art room!
Year 3 have been busy creating lovely abstract prints, while Year 4 put the finishing touches on their Roman shields and designed concentric hearts for Valentine’s Day. Year 5 have been printing beautiful cherry blossoms, and Year 6 have been hard at work on their latest project, hammering nails with focus and determination!

Our visit to the Verulamium Museum offered a fascinating glimpse into life in Roman Britain for our Year 4 pupils. The boys took part in a hands-on workshop, exploring artefacts excavated directly from the site and using the Look, Think, Wonder approach to investigate objects linked to cooking, building and leisure.
We then toured the museum, where the skeletons and coin displays were firm favourites. Back at school, the boys channelled their inspiration into creating beautiful mosaics, drawing on the intricate patterns they had admired earlier in the day.

In their science lessons, Year 2 boys explored absorbency by testing a range of different materials. They made excellent predictions, took turns beautifully and showed mature behaviour throughout the investigations.
It was wonderful to see so many boys in action, all curious, focused and full of enthusiasm for learning!

Year 3 have been getting creative with colourful abstract paintings, exploring shape and colour in imaginative ways.
Meanwhile, Year 5 are preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year and have started learning about the Sakura tree, one of Japan’s most iconic symbols.

Year 1 have been enjoying outdoor maths and story time. The boys had great fun investigating numbers down at Natures Classroom before settling down for story time around the campfire. A wonderful way to combine learning, nature and imagination.
