What we’re up to…
Armed with shopping lists, price lists and ‘cash’, our Year 2 children got stuck into a buying-and-selling challenge in maths today – with a little help from our oldest Prep school cohort. But rather than do the hard work for the Pre-Prep children, the Year 8s were merely there to guide, advise and steer the younger pupils in the right direction if they got a little bit stuck with some of the trickier shopping sums. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Our Year 8 children have dedicated lessons every Thursday afternoon during which they take on a series of activities, courses or experiences designed to enhance and expand the knowledge, skills and abilities of pupils beyond a typical learning environment. These lessons include mentoring our younger children and are called ‘enrichment’ lessons for a reason… #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #Enrichment
Our children have the opportunity to try many different activities when they join after-school clubs, sometimes for the first time. Today, our Pre-Prep children have continued mastering key gymnastic techniques under the expert eye of coach Mrs Ogilvie while others have given free rein to their imaginations to build houses, aircraft and even an intricate sanctuary for class mascot Foxy at Brilliant Bricks Club. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #AfterSchoolClubs
Under the keen eye of Mrs Harman, the Pre-Prep children at Music Theory & Tech Club have been consolidating their understanding of the musical alphabet and how it relates to keys on a piano. They have also been experimenting with composition using Chrome Music Lab. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Our natural born quizzers from Year 6 did a little last-minute cramming in the prep school library ahead of this afternoon’s general knowledge quiz at @churchers1722. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
We’ve had an amazing Open Classrooms event today, with parents and grandparents jumping at the chance to join their children and grandchildren in class. From art, cookery, geography and English to PE, Latin, DT and science, the school was abuzz with excitement, laughter, creativity and learning – and not just from the children! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #OpenClassrooms
We’re very much looking forward to welcoming prospective families to our first Open Morning of the new school year tomorrow. It not only gives visiting parents and their children the chance to chat with our engaging Head and members of our first-class teaching staff, it also offers the chance to take a close look at the sort of exciting things our pupils get up to in and out of the classroom. And it’s not too late to join us, simply click the link in our bio to register. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #OpenMorning
Rehearsals are under way for the Year 7 performance of Macbeth at @thehawthcrawley as part of the annual Coram Shakespeare Schools Festival. The children will take to the stage on Tuesday 26th November. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Our Pre-Prep and Prep school children have proved a real tour de force working together to mark European Day of Languages. Each group of children was allocated a European country and found creative ways of promoting their adopted nation; via colourful posters adorned with relevant words, pictures and interesting cultural facts, beautifully decorated flags, or carefully crafted headgear sporting the national colours of the likes of Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Ukraine. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Not only have we had a wonderful afternoon of competitive school sport but we’ve (largely) missed the forecast downpours. Grateful thanks to our friends from Parkside School, St. Edmund’s School, Surrey and Westbourne House School for coming to see us and being involved in some great matches on the football and hockey pitches and the the netball courts. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
After a busy day of learning, challenge and character building in and out of the classroom, our Pre-Prep children love nothing more than winding down with their friends at our popular mindfulness after-school club; letting their creative juices run riot with the building blocks, colouring pencils and paper or perhaps a favourite book. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Having regular access to their own indoor pool and expert tuition from swim coaches Mrs Simpson and Mrs Castles gives our children the opportunity to make a real splash when it comes to competition swimming. Today, our prep school children warmed up for the season ahead with a comfortable 105-68 win against our friends from St. Edmund’s School, Hindhead, who put up a great fight in a display of quality swimming all round. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #Swimming
Did you know that our most recent leavers earned three senior school DT scholarships this year? We wonder how many children will follow suit next year under the expert tutelage of specialist teachers Mr Dew and Mrs Martin… #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
Young historians in Year 5 took an amazing step back in time at the brilliant Winchester City Museum. Currently studying the Anglo-Saxons, the children discovered the part they played in the rich history of Winchester, England’s former capital; taking part in re-enactments, poring over fascinating exhibits, wearing period clothing and wielding weapons of the day. But it wasn’t just the Anglo-Saxons that took their attention as the children were totally captivated by their fascinating trip through the ages. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
From the moment they join, our children are encouraged to aim high, take the next step and challenge themselves. Encouraging children to embrace challenges and setbacks helps them develop a growth mindset and builds resilience. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #AimingHigh
Our Year 6 children have today taken on a series of teamwork challenges aimed at sharpening their communication and leadership skills with a view to life at senior school. Split into three groups, the children were tasked with either building bridges using straws, getting all team members across a ‘river’ safely and in the quickest time, or erecting towers from old newspapers. The challenges helped promote proactive communication while enhancing the children’s ability to problem solve and make key decisions. Skills such as taking turns, listening, teamwork, conflict resolution and leadership are essential elements of every child’s growth and will stand Year 6 in good stead when they make the move to senior school. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #Communication #LeadershipSkills
Year 8’s educational and character-building trip to the continent has featured visits to many significant Second World War landmarks on the northern French coast, including Pegasus Bridge, the Merville Gun Battery, Omaha Beach and war cemeteries. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex
French culture, French history and the beautiful French language have been brought to life for Year 8. The children are currently on a fascinating and emotional voyage of discovery on the northern coast of la belle France; visiting poignant Second World War sites Pegasus Bridge and Omaha Beach, the charming medieval town of Bayeux and beautiful Mont St Michel, all the while soaking up the unique sights and sounds of bustling French streets. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #France
