We do ask that all parents wear a mask when in public areas of the school, unless eating and drinking and we would appreciate it if children and siblings do not attend, so that we can keep control on numbers and everybody's safety.

Friday 8 October 2021 - 3.45pm to 4.15pm

We would very much like to welcome you to look around the corridors on Friday 8 October. This is an opportunity for your children to tour you around and show you their work on the wall.

We are asking that only one adult attends per family so we can keep a control on numbers. The children will need to be signed out by the form tutors first and when there is not a bottleneck in the doorway, you can come in. All adults and children of a senior school age must wear a mask in school.

Please be aware that this is not a time to talk to the teachers concerning your child, please email them separately if you have concerns.

As with all events this is subject to cancellation if we risk assess that it is not safe due to Covid. We will of course communicate this as soon as we can.

Tuesday 12 October and Wednesday 13 October 2021 

This year we are very excited to be holding two Harvest Festivals, one for Pre-Prep on Wednesday 13 October and one for Upper School (Year 3-6) on Tuesday 12 October - this is slightly different to what was in the calendar. These will both start at 9am but you are welcome, after drop off, for light refreshments before the service in the library.

I am afraid we are asking that only one adult per child attends due to safety and space in the hall. We will also request that your wear a mask when in the hall during the service and when not eating or drinking. 

The service will be less than an hour and will be a mixture of songs, readings, music and prayers to celebrate the Harvest.

Please note that all events are subject to change, we risk assess all events and activities in line with Covid risks and numbers. We will communicate with parents as soon as any decisions have been made.

Please book via My School Portal using the links below, you must book in for this:
