Netball Champions
Yesterday afternoon, our u13 Girls were crowned IAPS u13 National Netball Champions at Bryanston School, Dorset. Some 90+ schools had vied in regional qualifiers to be one of the 20 top schools at the National Finals. Having won the Regional qualifiers and Sussex Championships in previous weeks the girls were rightly confident going into this….
A sporting week
Sport in the sunshine for a change! Well, Wednesday at least… The sporting programme was back to its busy best this week, with a more spring like feel to the weather. The girls had a varied week, with netball tournaments and festivals and multiple opponents. The senior girls travelled to Hazelwood for their tournament, with…
Stars in the making
Years 5 and 6 musicians entertained a large audience of parents and grandparents with superb performances from all the children, ranging from Bizet to Blake to Bernstein with a little bit of Alicia Keys on the side! A huge well done to all the performers.
Checkmate
Our chess team excels again! Playing against Ardingly and Brambletye in a primary jamboree, we won all twelve points. Supported by our chess scholar and head girl, Amelie, the children played some excellent chess! Well done to our chess players!
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Our school choir lived up to every expectation, even in the bitter cold.

Lego imagination
Tuesday evening’s Lego club have been squirrelling away, creating their own imaginative buildings and modes of transport throughout this half term. Each week they have been adding to their models, based on themes chosen by Benji and Charlotte. This week they actually had time to talk about their work and play with them too.

Lights Camel Action 2
The brilliantly produced years 1 & 2 nativity was causing chaos in the audience! Those judges were not playing ball. We loved the performances by the Nazareth folk, Roman soldiers, wise men, camels, sheep, shepherds, angels and the stars! What fabulous costumes and brilliantly delivered lines. Well done to years 1 & 2!
A wintery week for sport
The temperatures might have plummeted, but the enthusiasm and drive in games and matches has been very much on the up as rugby heads towards its very own ‘mid-season break’. The year 4s fresh off the back of “the best rugby session this year” (the exact words of Mr Lewis), travelled to Hawthorns to test…

Due to her blindness she cannot see his hideous appearance and therefore cannot judge him on this, unlike all the other villagers. Agathe can therefore get to know the monster and experience his kindness, before her brother enters…
