A small but mighty group of Year 10 girls visited Queenswood School for an inspiring afternoon exploring careers in medicine.
They took part in hands on sessions including Emergency Medical Assistance, learning vital skills such as CPR and the recovery position, and Diagnostics, where they investigated medical cases using X rays, scans, and patient data.
Students also explored Medical Ethics through real life scenarios, developing their decision making and communication skills through discussion and role play.
The group received valuable advice on applying for Medicine, with opportunities to speak to medical students and consultant surgeons about their experiences and career pathways.
Many thanks to Mrs Evans for organising the trip and to Ms Thompson for accompanying the students.

Our Clan Dance Competition was an incredible showcase of talent, teamwork, and dedication.
Our senior students have been working hard, practising and rehearsing to come together and deliver some amazing performances. The competition was tough, and every clan shone on stage, bringing energy, creativity, and spirit to their routines.
A huge congratulations to this year’s winners, Macneil.
Thank you as well to our Marketing Club for putting together such a fantastic reel and capturing the event so brilliantly.

We were delighted to welcome local historian Richard Westwood to Abbot’s Hill School to speak with our Year 6 students about the rich history of our site.
The visit, kindly arranged by Mrs Kneller, gave the girls a fascinating insight into John Dickinson, who built Abbot’s Hill as a family home, and how it has evolved into the school we know today.
Students also enjoyed learning about our Observatory, which once housed a telescope, adding another layer to the school’s unique heritage.
The girls showed great curiosity throughout the talk, asking thoughtful questions and engaging enthusiastically with the stories shared. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring local history to life.

Last Sunday, our Year 9 Bronze and Year 10 Silver students took part in their DofE Training Day on the school grounds. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to prepare for their upcoming expeditions.
Throughout the day, students developed key skills including pitching tents, plotting routes, and safely lighting a stove. It was excellent to see their focus, teamwork, and growing confidence.
We are looking forward to seeing them apply these skills during their expeditions.

This year’s Head Girl Hustings saw a fantastic group of Year 10 students take to the stage, each sharing their own inspiring vision for leadership. Their speeches reflected the values at the heart of our community, confidence,
compassion, ambition and integrity, and a real commitment to making a positive difference.
The final decision will be announced tomorrow morning during Mark Reading, and we could not be prouder of every student who took part. Each candidate showed remarkable courage, authenticity and passion throughout the process.
A huge congratulations to all involved. We cannot wait to reveal our new Head Girl.

The Easter Bunny paid a special visit to our school today.
Wind and hail showers could not stop the fun as everyone set off on an exciting Easter egg hunt. There was also a competition to see who could collect the most eggs, and the Macneil clan were victorious.
To finish the day, every child received a delicious chocolate egg.
A big thank you to AHSPA for helping keep the Easter Bunny well stocked with eggs. We are very grateful for your support.
