Update from the Head of Prep, Mrs Hornby

23/05/2024

Dear Westholme family,
As we reach the end of a truly remarkable half-term, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible experiences our children have enjoyed over the past few weeks. It has been a whirlwind of learning, laughter and adventure, both in and out of the classroom and I could not be prouder of how our pupils have embraced every opportunity.
This half-term has been bursting with enrichment: from local trips that brought classroom topics to life, to residentials that challenged students to push their boundaries, work as a team, and grow in confidence and independence.
And, what a way to round it all off with three spectacular swimming galas! Each event was filled with excitement, determination and good-spirited competition. The energy from the stands, the cheers of encouragement and the sheer joy on the faces of our swimmers captured the essence of what makes our school community so special. A sprinkle of Olympic magic was certainly in the air, reminding us all of the power of sport to unite, uplift and ignite ambition.
A heartfelt thank you to all the staff who made these trips and events possible. Your dedication, planning, and enthusiasm create the memorable moments our children will carry with them long after they leave our Prep School.
I wish you all a restful and well-deserved half-term break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back, refreshed and ready for the final chapter of this academic year.
Best wishes,
Carla Hornby
