Reported by Leanne Barlow, Head of Junior Girls:

Today we had our annual Prize Giving and despite the heat, the Junior Girls made all of us proud. Starting the afternoon was a performance like no other. Our Reception to Year 6 girls performed 'This is me' from the Greatest Showman. Not only did they perform it - they smashed it! It was emotional and quite simply exceptional. And if that wasn't enough, a group of girls (from Reception to Year 6) signed the entire song with passion and expression!

Incoming Year 12 students had an exciting visit by the Army Careers team, who came to deliver a series of challenging team building activities at School.

Sailors and Pirates in abundance were spotted at Junior Boys this week as the boys performed in their pre prep concert.

An astounding 38 distinctions and 8 high merits were awarded to the 46 Junior boys who sat their Trinity Speech and Drama Examinations.

Well done to our coxless four crew, Joe, Alexander, Leo and Jake, who competed in the Fawley Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta this year. In their first race at Henley, they beat The Tideway Scullers’ School ‘B’ crew by three lengths. Unfortunately, they lost out to Henley Rowing Club ‘A’ team in their second race.

Our Under 9 chess team spent Tuesday and Wednesday of this week up in Birmingham playing in the English Primary Schools Chess Association (EPSCA) final. They came up against the creme de la creme of UK chess and proved they could go toe-to-toe with them. There were some very tough matches, but the boys were able to be beat Hall School and Hab's, as well as pushing Westminster Under (the eventual winners) closer than any other opponent, finishing in fifth place in the country!
