On Thursday 21 May, Prep School musicians took to the stage for a wonderful evening concert performed in front of a large and appreciative crowd of parents and families. The event showcased the breadth of musical talent across the school and created a joyful atmosphere from beginning to end.
Audiences were treated to performances from the Brass, Flute, Clarinet and String ensembles as well as our choirs and St Nick’s Band. Each group performed with enthusiasm, confidence and impressive musicianship, reflecting the dedication and hard work of the pupils and their teachers throughout the year.
The concert was not only a celebration of musical achievement, but also a reminder of the many benefits of being involved in music at school. Joining one of the school’s music groups is a fantastic way for pupils to connect with others, develop discipline, strengthen their musicianship and grow in confidence.
We would warmly encourage every pupil who plays an instrument to consider becoming part of one of the school’s ensembles and experience the enjoyment and sense of community that school music brings.
A special thank you to Chloe and Vidya, our music prefects, for their support and contribution.

A few weeks ago, our Bronze DofE participants completed their practice expedition. The expedition began with kit checks, where a few students discovered that their waterproofs weren’t quite up to the challenge and had to borrow some rather fetching ponchos!
Saturday’s guided walk provided plenty of opportunities to develop navigation and teamwork skills. While some groups took a few unintended detours, these moments provided valuable learning experiences and plenty of stories to tell.
After enjoying superb weather throughout the day, the rain arrived just in time for students to cook their first meals on Trangias!
Sunday started with the infamous Trangia clean, with students working hard to get them sparkling. They then set off independently, putting their map-reading, teamwork and problem-solving skills into practice.
The weekend also included a special celebration as we marked Freya’s birthday on expedition! Combined with another day of beautiful weather, it made for a memorable experience for all involved.

Year 6 were whisked away to Hogwarts for a magical two weeks of Harry Potter-themed learning. Starting in the bedroom under the stairs, the girls received their acceptance letters through the window and were captivated by potion-writing lessons, the creation of magical creatures, scene writing, and Foley workshops.
They were sorted into houses by the Sorting Hat, and our classroom was transformed into the common rooms of Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw. The room also became a museum filled with props inspired by the Harry Potter films.
The experience was topped off with a trip to Warner Bros. Studio Tour, where the girls spotted many of the exciting sets, places, and props they had been learning about. A daily hunt for the Golden Snitch kept everyone guessing, and there is still more magic to come with a Quidditch PE lesson once the children have made their broomsticks!
What a magical couple of weeks it has been.

From discovering the story of and the Enigma machine, to exploring the D-Day exhibition and learning about the future of AI, students were curious, engaged and enthusiastic throughout the day.

Abbot’s Hill’s Dance Showcase was a fantastic celebration of creativity, passion and talent from every performer involved.
The evening was filled with energy and excitement as students took to the stage to perform a variety of dance styles and themes, showcasing confidence, skill and incredible hard work. From powerful GCSE examination pieces to vibrant club routines and engaging class performances, every dance told its own story and captivated the audience.
A huge well done to all of our performers for making the evening such a tremendous success and a wonderful celebration of dance!

We are incredibly proud that our DofE Coordinator, Miss Knatchbull, was invited to attend the 70th Anniversary Gold DofE celebration at Buckingham Palace.
The day included exploring the beautiful palace gardens, inspiring speeches from, Drew Walker and Tabitha Stoecker, as well as a speech from the youth ambassador Evie.
Miss Knatchbull particularly enjoyed Jake Humphrey’s inspiring speech about courage and learning through failure, and was also lucky enough to meet the Duke of Edinburgh as he walked through the gardens, as well as getting a photo with Larry Lamb!
A truly memorable day celebrating 70 years of the DofE and recognising the achievements of young people and the dedication of school leaders across the country.
