We are excited to welcome our future Manor House Reception pupils for a fun, confidence building morning on Tuesday 3 March 2026 from 9.00 am to 12.45 pm.
While the children enjoy their adventure, parents are invited for coffee in Ms Fantham's office for a relaxed chat from 9.00 – 9.30 ...am.
It is a lovely chance to meet other families and speak with staff about the transition to Reception.
Prospective families who have yet to decide on which school their children will attend in September are more than welcome to join too!

They have been investigating different methods of propulsion.

As part of their World War Two project, Year Six visited Henley Fort in Guildford.
Pupils found out wat it was like to be part of the Home Guard and to be an ARP Warden.
They practised marching together in time (harder than it looks) and set up road blocks to check identification and ...capture potential spies and enemies!
The group particularly enjoyed finding out about air raid precautions and putting out a fire!

Year 4 think that tomato sauce enhances the flavour of plain chips!
They also believe that adjectives enhance the quality of a well written sentence.
So they call adjectives tomato sauce.
They donned their ketchup socks as a reminder as they were writing interesting information about ...the abhorrent Henry VIII and the immature Edward VI.

Show of hands. Who knows how many children Charles Dickens had?
In the week of Charles Dickens' birthday, the English Department created an assembly to celebrate his life and work, both as a writer and a social activist.
Year 10 lead the assembly and members of the debate team, from ...Year 7 and 9, presented a mini debate on whether we should still study Dickens.

Today we highlighted the importance of Holocaust Memorial Day which is traditionally remembered on the 27 January.
The Year 10 assembly explored bridging generations and remembering genocides to stop them occurring in the future.
Pupils wrote messages to future generations of tolerance, ...non-violence and hope.

Last week, Year 11 pupils enjoyed an informative and entertaining visit to the Brighton Dome to hear a number of the poets, such as John Agard, Carol Ann Duffy and Simon Armitage, who they are studying for their GCSE in English Literature, discuss and recite their poems.

The Prep Swim Team thoroughly enjoyed competing in a closely matched swimming gala against Notre Dame.
All the swimmers swam to to best of their abilities and some even managed to swim with a smile on their face!
We are proud of you all!

Year 10 are deep into their etching project — and the results are already looking incredible!
They’ve begun by etching their aluminium plates in a copper sulphate solution to create the first lines of their prints. Now the real artistry begins: reworking the plates using stop‑out to build... up beautiful tonal layers.
Lighter areas are protected first, then the plates go back into the etching bath.
Each round adds richer, darker tones.
The process repeats until every layer of the image is built.
Soon, they’ll ink up their plates and pull their final prints — a brilliant mix of chemistry, patience, and creativity.
