A garden library would be a wonderful addition to the prep school and would provide a calm and peaceful environment surrounded by our beautiful gardens where pupils could enjoy escaping into a great book. Pupils would be involved in the design and decoration of the interior giving them a sense of ownership of the space. Our ‘Reading Ambassadors’ would have the perfect opportunity to develop their leadership skills running the garden library at breaks and lunchtimes.

Esports, short for electronic sports, is a form of competition using video games and is one of the fastest growing global industries and. In September 2021 a team of senior school pupils entered the first British Esports Association Student Championships and competed against schools from all over the UK.
