Good morning, Prep School family, I hope this Bulletin finds you happy and very well. I just wanted to end this term saying well done for getting through the last term! It has been a complete mixing pot of remote learning, Zooms and being in school. You have all coped so well and worked so…
Good morning, Prep School family, I hope this Bulletin finds you happy and well. Can you believe that on this day, one whole year ago (23/3/2020), the whole country went into national lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. We were all told to stay at home unless absolutely necessary to leave. Schools had been shut…
Many of you may be aware that I have been teaching the Suzuki Violin Method at Highclare for just over a year now. Some of you may know a lot about this method of learning a musical instrument while others may not. I thought it might interest parents, students and staff to learn a little…
Good morning, Prep School family, How are you all doing on this lovely Tuesday morning? I hope you all had a super weekend and managed to get outside for a dose of vitamin D when the sun was shining and that you also managed to have a good rest after our busy first week back!…

On Monday 15 March (2.00pm), Wednesday 17 March…
Good morning, Prep School family, I hope you are well and enjoying the week so far. Can you believe it is Thursday? Welcome to your (hopefully last) day of live, Zoom lessons! Remember, tomorrow is a day when all the teachers are back in school getting it ready for Monday, so all of your lessons…
