Weekly Update – 13 March 2026
World Sleep Day: Our Mental Health Ambassadors have been highlighting just how important good sleep is for both our physical and mental wellbeing. All students are currently completing a survey about their sleep habits, and the Ambassadors are excited to share the results once they are in. Here’s to better rest and healthier minds!
Term Dates: This term finishes for the Easter holidays on Friday 27 March at 3pm, with school reopening on Monday 13 April for the Summer term. See our Term Dates page for details across the school year.
Spring Review on 25 March: Tickets for this music concert are now available here.
Easter Egg Appeal: Eggs can be brought into Reception or students can take to their form rooms. The deadline is Tuesday 24 March when eggs will be donated to the Hart Food Bank.
Donations will be measured by total weight to ensure fairness, with the House who donates the largest mass of eggs winning the competition. For comparison, 326 eggs were donated last year weighing 42kg – can these amounts be beaten this year? Thanks for your support with this appeal!
