Mufti Day for “Children in Need”
Thank you to everyone who supported our mufti day today in aid of “Children in Need”. The children always love to come to school in their own clothes, although several parents have commented to me that they are very grateful that we have a school uniform as trying to choose the clothes to wear today proved to be rather challenging in some households! The Nursery children enjoyed decorating their Pudsey Bear biscuits and pictures. At the time of writing, there is still some money to come in and I hope to be able to announce the total sum raised in next week’s bulletin.
High March Website
Thank you for all the positive comments and emails that I have received regarding our new website.
Christingle Service
We were very pleased to welcome the Reverend Camilla Walton into school this Monday to take Prayers at both Junior House and UpperSchool. The theme was Christingle and the children learnt about the work of the Children’s Society. Please look in your child’s school bag this weekend as all children from Reception upwards have been sent home with a candle money box and a covering letter from Reverend Camilla Walton.
Christmas Fayre Notices
Hair Braiding, Nail Artistry and Face Painting Please bring in donations of nail polishes, varnish remover, wipes etc. for our stall.

Please could any items for the House Stalls be given to the House Captains at UpperSchool. Daffodils collect yellow, orange and white items, Roses collect red, pink and white items, Shamrocks collect green, turquoise and white items, while the Thistles collect blue, purple and white items. They should be ‘pocket-money’ new or good quality second-hand items for the children to buy.

Return of Academic Cups Awarded in July 2008: Years 4 - 6
If your daughter was awarded a cup in July and it was for one term only, please now return the cup to Mrs Dunster at Junior House. To find out if your cup was for one term only (some cups are annual), please check the label. If there is a dot on the label, this indicates it is awarded for a term and not a year and it is now due for return.
If you have an older daughter who left in July and who was awarded a cup for one term only, please could you also return it to School.
If you are unsure about whether you need to return a cup your daughter has been awarded, please contact Mrs Dunster on 01494 685743 or by email on
