Boarding Blog - week ending 9th January 2026

The first week back after the Christmas holidays saw everyone retreating indoors to escape the very cold weather.

A variety of activities kept the children busy throughout the week, including dodgeball in the gym—with the younger years playing on Tuesday evening and the older boarders taking their turn on Thursday.

 There was also plenty of creativity on display with art sessions in the art room, along with cosy movie nights and some very competitive Wii Sports on the big screen in the Sanderson building.

It was a relaxed and enjoyable first week back, helping everyone settle into the new term in a warm and welcoming way.
