In the summer term Year 3 took part in a Greek Day, which involved the girls dressing in Greek costumes and having a Greek themed lunch. We also have visiting theatre groups such as The Young Shakespeare Company and visiting authors at Junior House as well as Upper School.

Residential Trips
In Years 5 and 6 we offer the girls the opportunity to take part in a range of residential trips. Residential trips offer the added dimension of developing their social skills as well as having huge educational value.
In the Autumn term of Year 5 we have recently introduced an Outdoor Activities Trip to Manor Adventure in Shropshire. This involves the girls in team building activities and personal challenges which help build relationships as the girls support and encourage each other as they face their fears.
In Year 6 the girls have the opportunity to go on the annual Ski Trip to Austria and a 3 day visit to a Chateau in St Omer, France where they practise their French.
