Creative Writing Competition

Posted: 6th December 2022

Last week we welcomed children from our own preparatory schools as well as members from 12 other primary schools in the local area to our senior school for the culmination of our Creative Writing Competition.

Gathering in the refectory, parents, children and staff members read poetry all about the ancient Egyptian pharaoh – Tutankhamun. We received over 500 entries in total including a large amount from our own Preparatory School pupils but among the highly commended there could be only one winner.

That winner was Imogen from Pheasey Park Farm Primary School with an incredible poem about discovery. Her poem was read out by our head boy after Dr Luker and Mrs Dawson had delivered their speeches and thank you’s.

We would like to congratulate all those who received awards on the night and say thank you to every pupil who submitted a poem to the competition. It was a pleasure to see all the hard work and thought that had gone in to them.

Senior School and Sixth Form Open Evening

On Thursday 10 October, we are holding our Senior School and Sixth Form Open Evening from 4:30-7pm.

Come and experience a whistle-stop tour of the school, as we demonstrate a typical day at Highclare. Any questions you may have will be answered as you move around the school and speak to staff and students alike. Teaching staff are highly motivated professionals with a wealth of experience that they are keen to share! There will also be two addresses by the Head, so ensure you arrive in plenty of time in order that you do not miss out.

We still have a very small number of places left if you are interested in attending this event!

Please book by contacting the admissions department. You can do this by calling 0121 373 7400, emailing highclare.admissions@highclare.co.uk, or filling out the form linked below.
