Together we shine

What we’re up to

Everyone needs a little bit of a helping hand from to time… #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Highfield and Brookham’s pastoral provision is going from strength to strength – a year on from the opening of The Beehive, the school’s dedicated wellbeing hub. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Today, we marked Better Sleep Week with a series of calming initiatives aimed at highlighting why quality sleep is essential for children’s growth and development. While teachers donned their pyjamas, older and younger children got together to read and listen to bedtime stories in their classrooms and common rooms, chat with their night-time teddies about sleeping habits and relax to soothing sounds and stories in The Beehive, our welcoming wellbeing hub. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #BetterSleepWeek

Last week, our talented young Prep school musicians performed a wonderful cushion concert to parents and friends. Today, it was the turn of our Pre-Prep pupils to take a starring role. Choral numbers blended beautifully with confident performances on piano, cello and violin as the children belied their years to demonstrate the progress they have made under the direction of our specialist music teachers. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #Music

Think it’s fairly safe to say there were one or two takers for some tasty bread toasted over the campfire at forest school… #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #ForestSchool #TheGreatOutdoors

Four of our Prep school children have cashed in their winning Giving Day raffle prize – lunch with our Head, Mrs Cryer. The girls landed the prize after our big summer fundraiser netted an amazing £27,000 for the Centenary Bursaries Fund, which helps give children access to a private education which otherwise might be out of reach. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Put through their paces by specialist drama teacher Mrs Wilson, our Pre-Prep children had to think on their feet and get into character at the drop of a hat during Theatre Club. Walking casually around the room, the children had to stop and adopt a facial expression, display an emotion or interpret a specific role (such as a firefighter, swimmer or teacher) when prompted by Mrs Wilson. And we think they did a pretty good job. Bravo, children! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #AfterSchoolClub #ExtraCurricularActivities

Having big rural grounds gives our children the chance to take advantage of nature’s bounty. In this case, our creative young pupils used fallen leaves to create artistic montages of woodland creatures such as foxes and hedgehogs as part of their extra-curricular Animal Club activities. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Our very own resident Patrick Moore – aka Mr Baker – captured this amazing shot of the Northern Lights last night, from outside the Junior Boarding House looking over the paddock toward the woods. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Year 3 developed their understanding of tuned and untuned percussion today with a variety of activities, including the ‘Let Us Chase the Squirrel’ game. Pupils took turns being the instrumentalists (playing the melody and glissandi on xylophones and metallophones) and singers (the squirrels and trees). The game had elements of musical chairs with the squirrels having to dart to a new tree when the word ‘tree’ was sung in the song. With a skills focus on listening, the game taught the children how to match their voices to a pitched percussion instrument and vice versa, all the while having a wonderful time playing with their classmates. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #Music

We do love welcoming players, coaches and parents from other schools to our little part of Liphook every Wednesday and Saturday. Today, it was the turn of our friends from Cranleigh Prep, who joined us for some competitive action played in the best possible spirit on the football and hockey pitches and the netball court. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

Grateful thanks to everyone who donated to our harvest festival appeal. A fine assortment of produce, tins, packets, jars and boxes was delivered to Liphook Day Centre today by our Head, Mrs Cryer, and some willing young volunteers. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #HarvestFestival

It’s been another soggy day, but does that stop our bold children getting outside to learn, play, inspire and discover new things? Not a bit of it, that’s exactly what hats, coats and wet weather gear are for! #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

We’ve held our first informal cushion concert of the new school year today, with six children performing beautiful pieces for piano, violin and vocals. These wonderful musical interludes, which are held throughout the year, are a great way for the children to gain experience playing or singing in front of a small audience. To see the young musicians gain in confidence week on week while improving their timing and technique is truly awe-inspiring. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #Music #CushionConcert

A feast of goodies will be making its way to Liphook Day Centre this week after our kind-hearted pupils and their families answered the call to donate harvest festival foodstuffs of all kinds. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex #HarvestFestival

With Year 7’s performance of Macbeth in Crawley looming on the horizon, the young thespians have been given some expert advice from Katherine Kotz of the Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation. Katherine extolled the theatrical virtues of landing lines, entering and exiting the stage with purpose, moving downstage to engage the audience and keeping the stage alive. The children are sure to take these top tips on board when they tread the boards at The Hawth on November 26th. #TogetherWeGrow #IndependentSchool #PrivateSchool #BoardingSchool #PrepSchool #PrePrepSchool #Nursery #Liphook #Hampshire #Surrey #WestSussex

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
