Year 6 Leavers Celebration Assembly 

For Year 6, the end of term marked the end of their time at Junior School. Together with their parents, pupils celebrated with a special assembly on Friday 5 July. The morning began with a delicious brunch provided by Accent Catering before the girls performed It’s Time to Fly.  

We welcomed Olivia McQuillan, People Development Consultant at Hustle House, who gave an inspirational talk about her career to date and gave useful advice for the future. 

Mrs Argile and Mrs Skevington shared memorable words of wisdom for the years ahead and reflected on the many exciting events over the girls’ time at Juniors. Year 6 also performed Don’t Stop – a memorable pom-pom extravaganza!  

The assembly concluded with the presentation of gifts to Year 6 as a way to commemorate their time at Juniors.

Well done, Year 6. We are very proud of you all and will miss you! 

Special thanks go to Chef Rosario and his team, Ms Eaves, Mrs Coles and Mr Wraight.

Year 6 head to Normandy on final Juniors residential 

Year 6 embarked on a residential trip to Normandy, France for a five-day, action-packed adventure. We stayed in Chateau du Broutel and used it as a base to explore many places, at the same time developing key skills in different areas. For example, our visit to a traditional French market helped us experience French culture and widen our French vocabulary, while a trip to the Nausicaa Aquarium broadened our knowledge of marine life - we also watched an impressive seal show! 

On Wednesday, we visited an underground war museum and got an exclusive guided tour about the battle of the Somme. Afterwards we went to a preserved battlefield which had remains of the trenches dug by soldiers and then paid our respects at the Thiepval memorial which has around 600 gravestones. We felt it was important to take the time to look at the names carved into the stone and the official records. The popular attractions during the trip were the biggest bomb crater in the world, a goat farm and a chocolate factory. It was a day to remember, and we all learnt something new.
