Year 5 and 6 pupils stepped into the world of Shakespeare as they took part in an exciting Macbeth workshop delivered by the renowned Shakespeare`s Globe.
Students enjoyed a virtual tour of the iconic theatre before immersing themselves in a dynamic and interactive exploration of Macbeth. Through drama, discussion and performance, they brought the play to life while deepening their understanding of Shakespeare’s timeless work.
It was a truly engaging experience, and pupils had a fantastic time developing their confidence, creativity and appreciation of theatre.

The Pre-Prep field was transformed into a countryside wonderland as our Nursery and Reception classes enjoyed a truly amazing visit from the farm!
Pupils were delighted to meet the stars of the show: Bruce the Cow and a group of energetic young goats. While Bruce charmed everyone with his calm and gentle nature, the playful goats kept the children entertained with their impressive jumping skills and lively antics.
Our youngest pupils practised their gentle hands, walking feet and quiet voices as they observed and handled the animals up close. Along the way, they learned all about life on the farm, including what the animals eat, how they are cared for, and the important role farmers play in looking after them.
This hands-on experience brought learning to life and created wonderful memories, leaving the boys with huge smiles and plenty of stories to share about their new four-legged friends.
A huge thank you to the farm team and all the animals for making the day so special!

There was great excitement as a giant red fire engine arrived to visit our Nursery and Reception classes!
Our youngest learners were fascinated as the firefighters showed them their "superhero" protective gear and demonstrated their impressive sky-high ladder. The children loved exploring the fire engine and discovering the wide range of equipment carried on board, from thermal imaging cameras to the powerful "Jaws of Life."
The highlight of the visit was a thrilling demonstration of the fire hose. As the siren sounded, pupils watched in awe as a huge arc of water soared across the school car park!
A huge thank you to the crew from Ruislip Fire Station for taking the time to visit us and inspire our young learners. It was a memorable experience for everyone involved!

Year 1 have been exploring how nature inspires artists to create beautiful works of art.
As part of their learning, the boys created clay sculptures based on natural objects they had observed. They carefully used a variety of tools to add texture and detail to their creations, demonstrating impressive focus, creativity, and perseverance throughout the process.
We are so proud of their artistic efforts and the wonderful sculptures they produced, inspired by the world around them.

During activities week, Year 2 set off on an exciting PGL adventure, full of enthusiasm as the coach departed from the St John`s gates.
From climbing and exploring to tackling fun challenges and working together as a team, every day was packed with memorable experiences. The boys showed great resilience, teamwork, and enthusiasm throughout their stay. And of course, no residential trip would be complete without a few midnight feasts!
A fantastic adventure filled with laughter, friendship, and memories that will last a lifetime.

It was fantastic to see so many families taking part in our annual Walk to School initiative.
Boys travelled to school in a variety of active ways – walking with family and friends, cycling, and even scooting. Every journey helped promote healthy habits, reduce traffic, and support our commitment to sustainability.
Congratulations to all our pupils who earned their Strider badges. Their efforts contribute to maintaining our status as a Green Flag Eco School and demonstrate how small actions can make a big difference to our environment.
Awesome day at the U13 Cricket Tournament, where Year 8 were competing with great skill, determination and sportsmanship.
Congratulations to Orley Farm, who were crowned tournament winners. The competition was incredibly close, with three schools finishing level in second place and needing to be separated by strike rate.
A special mention goes to Rahul, who finished as the tournament`s second-highest run scorer. With two superb half-centuries, he amassed an impressive 107 runs across the tournament.
Well done to our U13 team for representing the school so brilliantly and making it such a memorable day of cricket.

Year 5 had an action-packed day stepping into the roles of forensic scientists and police detectives!
They explored different types of crimes and learned the correct procedures for making an arrest, even getting the chance to practise on each other. They then put their detective skills to the test by investigating a mock crime scene, collecting evidence, analysing clues, and working together to solve the mystery.
A fantastic day of hands-on learning, teamwork, and problem-solving.
