Early Years Campus Weekly Update 12 Oct 2026

World Mental Health Day was on10th October 2026, and while we marked the day with an assembly to raise awareness for our children, our commitment to supporting our children is grounded in daily interactions.

This week saw the exciting start of our Primary Inter-House Long Distance Swim, with students already making a fantastic splash for their Houses! Every length swum is helping Houses climb the leaderboard while demonstrating incredible determination, resilience, and teamwork.

As we approach the half-term break, it is a fitting moment to reflect on the first two months in our new Sixth Form Centre. It has been a privilege to witness the enthusiasm, commitment and ambition of our students across the IBDP, A Level and BTEC pathways.

As we approach the half-term break, there is plenty to look forward to in the weeks ahead. Our new Parent-Teacher Conference format will provide greater flexibility for families, our Young Musician of the Year competition continues to showcase the talent and dedication of our students, and preparations are well underway for what promises to be a memorable Halloween Spectacular.

This week, I would like to shine a light on Communication and Language and Literacy, two closely connected areas that provide important foundations for children's learning.

What an incredible achievement! We are delighted to announce that, together, our school community has now completed an amazing 2,455.44 miles as part of the NAE Global Sports Challenge!

As educators, we are committed to preparing children not only with knowledge, but with the skills and mindsets that will enable them to thrive in an increasingly complex world.

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. Following two memorable events at the Sixth Form Centre last Wednesday, the National Day holiday provided a valuable opportunity to learn from the example of our Sixth Form students.

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend following National Day and had the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends.

As our community gathered to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, I hope you all enjoyed a joyful and memorable weekend filled with family, friendship and tradition.
