and Ella is STILL in one piece! That roll of cotton wool works wonders. The groups were made to ski hard today; the instructors have certainly raised the bar and the expectations of the groups. They have travelled further a field and down some more demanding runs, hence a few more [...]

Let the skiing begin!

Please click on the thumbnail to view today’s album. The girls had a rather rushed wake-up call this morning because Mrs Cook set her alarm by English time which left only 5 minutes to get to breakfast.  It wasn’t as if she was still asleep, but just laying in slumber waiting [...]

At ‘silly o’clock’ on Sunday morning, 30 bleary-eyed students arrived at Harrow Way prepared for what should be one of their most memorable school trips.  They arrived in their fancy ski jackets with their wonderful parents who had had to join them at that ungodly hour for the send off.  Everyone [...]

Key Stage 3 County Badminton Semi-final

2011-01-21T10:39:12+00:00January 21st, 2011|

Despite a thorough warm up, the girls started their first match against Calthorpe Park in a rather sluggish and unfocused manor. Four close defeats had meant that this [...]
