Today, our GCSE Product Design students were invited to visit the FUN office of Fun-damental Invention.

Students were given a behind-the-scenes insight into the world of toy design, exploring how ideas are developed, tested and turned into real products. It was a fantastic opportunity to see creative thinking and innovation in action within a real design business.

The students have also created a video of their visit, capturing their experience and what they learned along the way.

A huge thank you to the team at Fun-damental Invention for such a welcome and inspiring visit. @fun_damental_invention

What a fantastic Gruffalo Day we had!
Our Pre-Prep pupils spent the day exploring the wonderful world of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. We set off on an exciting Gruffalo hunt around the school grounds, searching for clues and spotting familiar characters from the much-loved story.

After enjoying a lovely picnic outdoors, we headed off on a special theatre trip to experience the magic of live storytelling. The performance brought the story to life in a fun, engaging, and wonderfully imaginative way.

There were plenty of laughs, a few scary Gruffalo moments, and lots of excited faces throughout the day. Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed the hilarious performance and loved immersing themselves in the world of the Gruffalo.

A truly memorable day filled with adventure, storytelling, and smiles all around.

A special thank you to Reception pupil Lily for her wonderful rendition of The Gruffalo on this reel.

What a weekend on our Silver DofE expedition.

Swindon sunshine and some very stylish sunhats kicked things off on Saturday followed by a full day of walking and camp cooking.

Sunday brought an unforgettable wake up call from a very loud donkey but the girls smashed their first independent walk with resilience and teamwork then topped it off with their own talent show.

Monday meant packing up the dreaded Trangia clean and celebrating Luisa’s birthday before a brilliant Ridgeway walk finishing early and earning well deserved ice creams.

Huge thanks to A Z Expeditions and the amazing Matt Kristy Phil and Carole So proud of the girls.
