How right Victor Hugo was. Little did he know when he wrote this that one of his novels would become the inspiration for the greatest musical of our time, Les Miserables. Even without forethought, he recognised the importance of music and the part it should play in our lives. Growing up, I had the privilegeRead More »
Dear Parents I thoroughly enjoyed camping last weekend with the D of E pupils (honestly, I did). It was a pleasure being with the children and the weather held out too. There were a couple of mishaps but what happens on D of E camp stays on D of E camp, I believe! Spring ConcertRead More »
Dear Parents I hope you had a wonderful Easter with the children. I enjoyed five days in France with the School and I can honestly say it was a delight being with the children: well behaved, well-mannered and good company. I was also in school to watch our renovations continue. The new seating in theRead More »
It’s been a wonderful, action packed end to the term. The children continue to make the most of the opportunities afforded to them and I would like to thank my colleagues who inspire the children on a daily basis. Easter Services Thank you to those parents who attended the Nursery & Infant School and PrepRead More »
Mother’s Day It was lovely to see many of you at Mother’s Day services this morning on both sides of the road. The children, from Reception through to Year 6, sang beautifully and were a credit to their mothers (and fathers!). I hope the children follow through with their promises to look after you allRead More »

It was wonderful to see so many people come together to celebrate Art at Red House and the pupils should be rightly proud of their creations. The event was, of course, about moreRead More »
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 »
