Dear Parents I’ve been in to see rehearsals for the Fashion Show and I know we’re in for a treat. I will not be stepping anywhere near the catwalk for fear of inadvertently striking a Zoolander pose – that’s definitely one for the children – but I’m looking forward to seeing many of you thereRead More »
It’s been a rather varied week for me. Apologies for any parents with a child at the Oliver! rehearsal last night: I hope the cockney accents the children brought home were not too annoying. I loved ‘workshopping’ one of the songs with the children and I’m sure the show in the summer is goingRead More »
I’m very much looking forward to half term. Hopefully, it will be an opportunity to catch up on some reading and a chance to see friends as well as, of course, celebrate St Valentine’s Day in my usual fashion with a microwave meal for one. The children in Year 4 produced a wonderful church serviceRead More »
Dear Parents I’ve just had a preview of the newsletter which will be winging its way to you next week. Once again, it re-enforces how busy the children are: it’s fantastic to see them participating in so many areas of school life. I do wonder though if the printed newsletter has had its day.Read More »
What a week it’s been for Red House sport. There have been wonderful victories over larger schools culminating in our Under 13 girls being crowned county hockey champions.

It was lovely to see the children in Year 3 visiting the Prep & Senior School this week. They loved their visit which included taking part in an excellent workshop and a lovely lunch. We aim to ensure the Year 3 children feel fully comfortable ‘crossing the road’ and, from the looks on their facesRead More »
It’s wonderful to be back even if the weather is being a tad unkind to us! The children have settled back quickly and are looking after our new pupils with the usual Red House warmth. Open Morning – Saturday 21 September Our last Open Morning was a wonderful success. We had more pupils thanRead More »
There was much excitement this morning with the arrival of a dusting of snow. I know some of you were affected more than others but, thankfully, those who travelled from snow hit areas arrived safely this morning. How wonderful it was to see the Nursery children outside today too; there are some wonderful, smilingRead More »
It has been wonderful to see so many of you supporting the children in their Christmas endeavours. I know this has meant three appearances in school in 48 hours for some of you and I would like to thank you for your wonderful commitment to the cause. We do, of course, still have our carolRead More »
It has, once again, been a busy week. Year 11 seem to be taking their mock examinations in their stride and I hope they are rewarded for their efforts. The other children remain busy balancing their studies with rehearsals for the plethora of up-and-coming festive events. Pantomime I had the ‘pleasure’ of witnessing myRead More »
