ISA have announced the finalists for the the ISA Young Musician Competition and our congratulations to Kitty in Year 5 who has made it to the final! This is an amazing achievement and we wish you every success at the final in Coventry on the 8th February.
Over the last few weeks the girls in Forms IV-VI have been taking part in the Bebras Challenge. This is an international computing challenge that is run in over 25 countires worldwide and this year saw 350,000 children take part. The girls all work extremely hard during our practise lessons and took that into the challenge with them. The girls have now received their certificates which are broken down into different categories.
• Best in School
• Distinction
• Merit
• Participation
There is also a separate gold award for any children who have achived the top 10% nationally in their age group. Congratualtions to Katy and Grace in Form VI who achieved the gold award! These girls are now invited to the next stage of the competition which will take place in the new year.

Form V organised and led Friendship Day last week. The girls from Form V held an amazing assembly and organised the making of friendship bracelets and posters. All the girls loved the afternoon and we were so proud of the girls in Form V. Well done!
Mrs Milne accompanied Form IV to the Epsom College Music Festival last week. The girls sang beautifully and had a great day!
The girls had such fun in the summer celebrating the Platinum Jubilee. Activities included our very own Bake-Off, Maypole dancing, a quiz and crown decorating… and the sun shone throughout!
What a wonderful day we had completing our annual Marsden March. Thank you to everyone who supported this event both financially and physically. A special thank you to Ian one of our local residents and ex pupil of the school (70 years ago) who came out of his house to clap our girls! We raised an amazing £3,743.00.
What an amazing day the students had last week. For the whole day the pupils flew around the classrooms, getting their passports stamped whilst learning facts about the featured countries. A big thank you to our lovely parents who provided so many of the resources and came into school to talk about their heritage or to do demonstrations. We are already looking forward to doing it all again next year!
Last Friday, we enjoyed the lovely Christmas Show performed by Reception, Form I and Form II. Thank you to all our parents and friends for coming to support us – we are all feeling very festive now!
