Headmaster’s Blog
What a thing a snow day is! Pushing the button to declare a snow day and thereby close the School is one of those (admittedly fairly low-level) leadership conundrums (conundra?) whereby one delights a large chunk of the community whilst simultaneously causing frustration to a good handful of others.

Year 1B Scientists of the Future!
Testing the properties of materials: How can I find out if a material is transparent, absorbent, bendy or waterproof? 1B worked independently to design their own experiments, choosing objects from the classroom and considering how to test them. They recorded their findings on results tables then discussed how they could have improved their experiments. A fantastic learning experience! […]
Nursery Open Morning
It was fantastic to see 18 prospective families at last Saturday’s Nursery Open Day “Spring Explorers”. The sun was shining brightly and the children were soon busily occupied in the many and varied activities that had been organised for them. Enormous thanks to Mrs Oelmann, Mrs Holder and Miss Rhodes for providing such a good […]

The work which is put in at home is especially important with a young pony in order to prepare them for competing in a busy and exciting setting. Exposure to many different types of fences is also worthwhile. Connie […]

We watched a story taken from chapter 5 of the Gospel of Luke, where Simon Peter’s speaks of his fear that he wasn’t good enough to be Jesus friend. Jesus […]

British Polar Explorer comes to ECS!
Years 1 – 8 enjoyed an inspirational assembly from the explorer Ann Daniels, a member of the first team of British women to travel by skis to both the North and the South poles. Year 2 were also lucky enough to have a further workshop with Ann, where they got to look closely at her […]
Year 4 French Fashion!
Year 4 were treated to a French Fashion Show as a finale to their topic ‘Les Vêtements’. They brough in an array of brightly coloured clothes and dressed Elizabeth and Harry up, taking it in turns to describe what they were wearing in French. C’était très amusant – bravo!
