Inter-House Quiz
On the 2nd of March the children had great fun participating in our annual Inter-House Quiz.
Book Week
The children took part in lots of activities as part of National Book Week (1st – 5th March). We were very privileged to have Robin Prince, a children’s author, visit the Senior School and the children thoroughly enjoyed his visit. Throughout the week the children also had the opportunity to design book covers and take part in a poetry evening. The highlight of the week was on Friday, when the children dressed up as their favourite character from a book.
