What we’re up to…
The onset of spring and the warmer weather has given our pre-prep children the perfect opportunity to explore the amazing variety of flora and fauna that the vast Highfield and Brookham estate has to offer. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeExplore #TogetherWeLearn #OutdoorLearning #FloraAndFauna #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire
Our girls are so excited about the return of the cricket season after the Easter holidays that an impromptu series of friendly (yet competitive) matches broke out on the school pitches and the Astro during the lunch break. With that kind of commitment, we could be in for a very good season! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCompete #PrepSchoolSport #Cricket #SchoolsInHampshire
The final Cushion Concert of the spring term featured a range of wonderful performances, including solo and duet vocals, piano and guitar solos and some highly entertaining LAMDA performances. Cushion Concerts provide a fantastic opportunity for pupils to perform in front of their parents in a relaxed and supportive setting, creating truly magical moments for everyone. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Liphook #CreativeLearning #Surrey #Hampshire

For their final get-together before the Easter holidays, and hot on the heels of the amazing efforts of the Year 5 and Year 6 pupils in their production of Pride Rocks, the children in the prep-prep Theatre Club today put on a wonderful performance of their own featuring singing, dancing and choreography to the uplifting soundtrack of The Circle of Life. Bravo, children! #TogetherWeGrow #TheCircleOfLife #PrePrepTheatreClub #PerformingArts #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #CountryEducation
Hats off to our lovely Nursery children who got the final week of the spring term off to the best possible start today with a wonderful Easter bonnet parade in our fabulous woodland. #TogetherWeGrow #EasterBonnetParade #SchoolsInHampshire #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #Nursery #PrePrepSchool #PrepSchool #IndependentSchool
What an amazing week we’ve had on the theatrical stage. Our Year 5 and Year 6 children have excelled themselves with no less than six extraordinary performances of Pride Rocks. Under the direction of Mrs Baird, our exceptional Head of Drama, the children recited their lines, danced and sang with immense pride, passion and expertise, supporting each other every step of the way as the powerful tale unfolded. Grateful thanks to Aldro for providing the zebra and giraffe heads and Cranleigh School for supplying the stunning masks. #TogetherWeGrow #PrideRocks #SchoolsInHampshire #PerformingArts
Having performed in front of their upper prep school peers today, our Year 5 and Year 6 children are now halfway through the six scheduled performances of their spectacular, atmospheric and dramatic stage show, Pride Rocks. And the general consensus so far? It’s been a roaring success! #TogetherWeGrow #StageShow #MusicalTheatre #PrideRocks #PrepSchoolTheatre #PerformingArts #CoeducationalSchoolsInHampshire
Bubbles, bears, biscuits and books were the order of the day for our Nursery children today. The excited children took full advantage of the warmer weather and blue skies to head outside and have fun with their friends at a wonderful teddy bears’ picnic; chasing bubbles, eating tasty bear-shaped snacks and listening to Mrs Horn read captivating stories out in the fresh air. #TogetherWeGrow #TeddyBearsPicnic #OutdoorLearning #Books #TheGreatOutdoors #SchoolsInHampshire
The girls’ football season continued apace today with the visit of our friends from St. Edmund’s School, Surrey. Our U13, U12, U11 and U10 girls were in fine form under mercifully sunny skies, demonstrating just how much they have improved in the past month. The girls will wrap up their season against Aldro on Saturday before turning their attention to cricket after the Easter holiday. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCompete #TogetherWePlay #PrepSchoolSport #GirlsFootball #GrassrootsFootball #SchoolsInHampshire
From crime scene investigation to the benefits of healthy eating and from fascinating trips to the Science Museum and Natural History Museum, London to a feast of forensics, our inquisitive children immersed themselves fully in British Science Week. #TogetherWeGrow #Science #CrimeSceneInvestigation #STEM #WeLoveScience #SchoolsInHampshire #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire
Year 7 have taken inspiration from the work of JMW Turner, who was best known for his expressive colouring and imaginative landscapes. Working on a theme of abstract seas and skies, the young artists covered repurposed canvases with scraps of paper to create texture before clever use of primary colours, complemented by whites for tone and black for shade, added real emotion to the children’s artwork. #TogetherWeGrow #CreativeArts #InspiredByFamousArtists #ExpressiveArtwork #SchoolsInHampshire
Experimental artists in Year 3 have been busy mixing primary colours in the art room today to produce secondary colours. The children discovered that mixing red, blue and yellow in pairs produced vibrant hues of orange, purple and green which they could use to add a real splash of colour to their clay faces. #TogetherWeGrow #Art #Creativity #Painting #SchoolsInHampshire
Year 4 pupils today learnt some amazing facts about giant tortoises. As part of a weekly initiative where the children are encouraged to bring something unusual or interesting into class to spark healthy discussion and broaden their knowledge, George T brought in his sulcata tortoise. The children discovered that ten-year-old Boris, who is still only a baby, hails from north Africa, is a herbivore and could weigh up to 90lbs (40 kilos) when fully grown. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #SulcataTortoise #AnimalMagic #HealthyDiscussion #FascinatingFacts #SchoolsInHampshire
Whether it’s in the classroom, on the sports pitch, in the art room, on stage in the theatre or working on experiments in the science lab, the flame of passion burns brightly within our children. They possess an innate desire to learn, spread their wings and be the best they can be, something we wholeheartedly encourage and nurture. #TogetherWeGrow #PassionForLearning #ThirstForKnowledge #EndlessPossibilities #SchoolsInHampshire

With spring just around the corner, we were today appropriately treated to another uplifting music concert. Pupils from Year 3 to Year 7 performed eclectic pieces for guitar, piano, recorder, violin, saxophone and cello while the Year 4 band rocked their way through 20th Century Boy. And Romilly and Felix performed a sublime rendition of the humorous song The Cover Is Not The Book from hit film Mary Poppins Returns. #TogetherWeGrow #MusicalTalent #CreativeArts #SchoolConcert #SchoolsInHampshire #PrivateSchoolsInHampshire
It’s been another cold day on the hockey pitch, despite sporadic bursts of watery, early-spring sunshine. But what has proved incredibly heartwarming yet again is the dedication, camaraderie and skill shown by all of the boys, not to mention the immense pride that comes with wearing the green and black. Thank you to all of the players and coaches from Amesbury School, Edgeborough School, St. Edmund’s School, Surrey and Westbourne House School for playing a full part in a quite brilliant U9 tournament. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCompete #PrepSchoolSport #BoysHockey #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire
Quality play and insightful coaching were the order of the day as our boys rose to the occasion on the hockey pitch this afternoon against our friends from @westbournehouseschool while the girls battled it out on the football pitch. Prep school sport was the real winner though. Well played, everyone! #TogetherWeGrow #PrepSchoolSport #Hockey #GirlsFootball #PrivateSchoolsInHampshire
When it comes to being healthy, look no further than Year 3. As part of their spring term topic looking at the benefits of healthy eating and the importance of wellbeing, the children took on the Great Smoothie Challenge – and passed with flying colours. Split into teams, Year 3 not only had to produce tasty fruit smoothies, they had to explain to the judging panel where their fruit came from and champion its nutritional value. The children were also judged on their brand name and logo and how well they worked together. #TogetherWeGrow #GreatSmoothieChallenge #HealthyEating #SchoolsInHampshire
Mrs Houghton, our Head of Art, has signed up to the Addictive Sketchers Movement to help pupils on our popular Tuesday Sketch Club brush up their artistic skills and learn new techniques. The movement is headed by @addictivesketcher Adebanji Alade, president of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and his expertise is already proving inspirational judging by the amazing portraits the children have already produced. #TogetherWeGrow #Art #AddictiveSketchersMovement #CreativeArts #PrivateSchoolsInHampshire
