All of our boarders came together to celebrate the end of another fun year of boarding on Monday evening. As well as a delicious BBQ, the children enjoyed a host of inflatable games and, despite the heat, even slipped into some sumo costumes for a quick wrestle! Thankfully, an ice cream van was on hand to help everyone cool down. Enjoy looking at some of the fantastic images taken by Mr Mann. With just two days of term left, we'd like to say a big thank you to our House parents Mr Elliott and Mr & Mrs Mann as well as Matron, the catering team and all of our boarding assistants for looking after the pupils and giving them a taste of independence away from home. It's an emotional moment for some of our Year 8 pupils who have been boarding with us for several years, they will be missed! We look forward to welcoming the next generation of boarders when our Year 3 pupils will be invited for their free boarding trial nights.ew Did you know?

There were so many wonderful performances to savour at this year's Summer Concert which featured every single one of our Prep School orchestras, bands, ensembles and choirs. From our youngest performers in Year 3 to our highly accomplished music scholars in Year 8, everyone showed a passion for making music. It was clear to see the many months of work that have gone into producing such an epic and diverse programme. Congratulations to all of our performers, the music department and, in particular, Mr Fisher (Director of Music) who composed the kaleidoscope-themed, grand finale! We hope you enjoy a few highlights... #summer #concert #greatescape #mozart #changes #percussion #ensemble #music #schoolmusic #privateschool #hertford

Teamwork makes the dream work! Huge congratulations to our U13 relay team who put in a phenomenal run to become NATIONAL 4 X 100M CHAMPIONS at the National Prep Schools Championships yesterday. Having secured the regional title last month, the fab foursome achieved a very convincing win at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, cheered on by our Director of Sport, Mr Elliott, and athletics coach Mr Russell. There was further success in the U13 100m where Zura secured a superb silver medal and in the U13 80m hurdles where Lucas picked up a well deserved bronze medal. Also finishing in the top 5 in the country was Billy who achieved 4th place in U13 shot put. Well done to the whole squad for representing the school so brilliantly and supporting each other. It was an amazing experience for all of our athletes to compete in the same venue that will host the European Championships in the summer. #athletics #passionforsport #sportsscholars #privateschool #hertford
