What a vibrant and enriching week it has been here at Prep! From laughter-filled classrooms to thoughtful discussions, our pupils have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and curiosity. A special congratulations goes to Mustafa and Sennen, who have made us incredibly proud by securing their places in the Blackburn with Darwen Chess Tournament finals. What a fantastic achievement and I am looking forward to accompanying them this afternoon.

As we approach the final week of term, there is no sign of anything relaxing or winding down at Prep! This week, Prep 4 enjoyed a fascinating trip to the Blue Planet Aquarium, where their curiosity about marine life was sparked through hands-on learning and exploration. Although the weather meant we had to postpone Sports Day, we’re looking forward to the rescheduled event next Monday, fingers crossed for sunshine! The children were very excited when we shared out House Point totals for the week in our Celebration Assembly this morning. The totals are very close, so the House Points gained on Sports Day could sway it either way, so who knows who will be going on the treat afternoon next Thursday.

With just one week remaining, the calendar is packed with events and celebrations, culminating in our much anticipated Prep Prizegiving next Wednesday. The children are busily rehearsing and reflecting on a year filled with growth, achievement, and joyful memories.

Next Friday, we’ll be saying goodbye to our Prep 6 pupils as they prepare to take their next exciting steps beyond Prep and we look forward to their final assembly on Friday.
