Dear Parents,
Thank you all who participated in our Back to School Sustainable Uniform Sale. This September's Sale was by far our most successful Sale to date!
More families donated uniform than ever before, we served more customers, we raised more revenue and recirculated more clothes over this 2-day Sale than any of our previous sales
233 shoppers and 77 exchangers came out over the two days, we raised over 1,300,000HUF in direct sales to be invested back into the project or other sustainability projects around School.
And most extraordinarily we recirculated 252kg of uniform – 60% of our stock of Sustainable uniform. That is a great result! That is the equivalent of 422 primary uniforms being saved from a landfill.
Or even better that is the CO2 equivalent saved of 60 families not driving their car to school (or anywhere) for 1 day!
As always a big, big thank you to our team of parent volunteers without whom these Sales would not be possible. They sort, wash, carry and display the 450 kilograms of uniforms that you see on offer at each of our Sales!
As a reminder if you missed our sale or didn’t use all your shopping vouchers, our next Sale will be our Winter Sustainable Sale Series for the winter weather change. Your exchange vouchers are valid for one academic year; so there is still time to join our movement and help us make our community’s uniform more sustainable.

This week the Music Department had a virtual Juilliard visit with our curriculum specialist in Music, Amy Christman. The visit was an opportunity for the Music team to have 1:1 discussion with Amy to discuss the year ahead and further ways we can continue to support our students in their Music learning through our Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts Programme.
The highlight of last week was our WINE & CHEESE evening at the charming Villa 11! Around 100 parents and also teachers came together for a delightful night of connection and indulgence, savoring lively conversations and good vibes in a warm atmosphere.
In Year 2 this term, our topic is about staying healthy. The children have learned about eating healthily, playing outside in nature, doing lots of exercise, and sleeping well.
