With their first performance just two weeks away, rehearsals for Year 8’s big end-of-year production have really begun in earnest. Sandy, Danny, Kenickie, Rizzo, Frenchy and co will take to the stage from July 1-2 to throw the spotlight once more on life at Rydell High and prove, beyond doubt, that Grease really is the word… #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWePerform #PerformingArts #PrepSchoolStageShow #CoEdBoardingSchoolsInHampshire #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Highfield and Brookham has been celebrating a golden spell on the sports front, with pupils excelling in swimming, athletics and cricket. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCompete #PrepSchoolSport #GrassrootsSport #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Having spent the night under canvas, Year 5 headed into the woods bright and early today to brush up their bushcraft skills. Setting up camp is hungry work, so the children were tasked with gathering piles of twigs and sticks before using a flint and steel to make a series of fires on which to cook their own lunch. What an adventure! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeExplore #TogetherWeDiscover #OutdoorLearning #IndependentSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Artists in Year 6 have been developing their multimedia techniques to produce artwork inspired by Buddha. Under the expert eye of Mrs Pearson, the children used pencils and pastels to recreate the distinctive form of the religious teacher whose teachings on enlightenment and the end of suffering became the basis of the world religion of Buddhism. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeCreate #TogetherWeLearn #Art #CountrySchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Whether it’s in the classroom, playing chess in the common room or taking on another school on the cricket pitch – as our boys and girls did today with a series of brilliant games under sunny skies against St. Edmund’s School, Surrey – it’s important that our pupils gain an understanding of healthy competition. Harnessed properly, competition can prepare children for adult life, help develop key skills such as perseverance and determination, encourage children to step out of their comfort zones, and allow them to learn about setbacks in a safe and encouraging space. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeSupport #TogetherWeUnderstand #CoEdBoardingSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Young scientists in Year 6 have today been busy investigating the pH levels of different substances using a variety of indicator papers. Having observed colour changes, the children consulted a pH chart to determine the approximate acidity or alkalinity of the various substances, carefully recording the findings in their exercise books. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeExperiment #TogetherWeExplore #PrepSchoolScience #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Year 3 have been busy working on their lighthouse projects in DT today. Having sketched their building designs, the children painted cardboard inners in traditional red and white colours as they worked on the the main body of their coastal structures. Next, the children will turn their attention fully to the electronics required to give the lighthouse its all-important lamp. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeManufacture #TogetherWeDesign #DesignTechnology #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Our amazing woodland is always a source of joy and inspiration for our pre-prep children, but today’s visit to forest school was extra special for Nursery’s Big Bear Cubs. For it was a chance to spend time letting their imaginations run wild in the company of our delightful Reception teachers ahead of moving up in September. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeProgress #TogetherWeExplore #ForestSchool #OutdoorLearning #GrowingUp #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #WestSussex #Surrey

Year 5 use their creativity and problem-solving skills as they compose in verse-chorus form using GarageBand. Instead of relying on pre-made loops, they’re putting their newly learned musical knowledge of primary and secondary chords into practice – creating original songs that are entirely their own. #TogetherWeCreate #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #IndependentSchool #CoEdSchool #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #EssentialSkills

Our girls were in fine form today as they welcomed their fellow cricketers from Edgeborough School for a series of fabulous matches played in fantastic spirit. While they have clearly progressed and shown improved technique with bat and ball week by week, what was most evident (and so pleasing) was just how much the idea of playing as a team means to the girls, who gave their all and were wholly supportive of each other throughout. Well done, girls, long may it continue! #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWePlay #TogetherWeSupport #PrepSchoolSport #GrassrootsCricket #CountryBoardingSchoolsInHampshire #Liphook #Hampshire #WestSussex #Surrey

School trips are an invaluable part of a child’s learning journey, fostering independence, confidence and resilience as they provide real-world learning experiences outside the classroom. Our Year 6 children are this week in Suffolk, engaging in fieldwork to embellish their theoretical knowledge with practical application at the National Trust site of Flatford Mill. It follows hot on the heels of our scholars touching down in Fontanellato, where the children took to the Freedom Trail to follow in the footsteps of former Highfield and Brookham headmaster Peter Mills, who escaped from a German prisoner of war camp in northern Italy in 1943. The Year 8 children also took in a tour of the 12th Century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and a trip to a cheese factory where the world-famous Parmigiano Reggiano is produced, as well as spending time with their Italian peers and catching up with old friends at Comprensivo di Fontanellato e Fontevivo, who send two pupils to Liphook for six weeks each year. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #SchoolTrips #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #BoardingSchoolsInHampshire

Children at Highfield and Brookham are not only being primed for academic success, they are being equipped with the essential skills needed to thrive in life beyond the classroom. #TogetherWeGrow #TogetherWeLearn #TogetherWeThrive #IndependentSchoolsInHampshire #CountrySchoolsInHampshire #Nursery #PrePrep #Prep #Liphook
