Exploring the stars and reaching beyond! 🪐 

Our pupils had an incredible visit to the Wonder Dome today, an immersive mobile planetarium that sparked curiosity and offered the children a mesmerising glimpse into to cosmos and the wonders of the universe.

🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️Last Friday our children joined some 450 boys and girls from 7 local prep and primary schools to compete in a fantastic inter school cross country event at King Edward’s, Witley @kesw

Running long and challenging routes around the KESW grounds, all ran with terrific competitive spirit and plenty of heart securing some great results and wins for Barrow Hills. They should all feel incredibly proud if their achievements. 

Thanks to the many parents, who offered their support and cheered our young runners through to the finish line so brilliantly. ⭐️

Grandparents' Afternoon on Thursday was perhaps the most heartwarming way to finish off the first installment of the spring term. It was wonderful to welcome so many family members or friends for a performance by the Pre-Prep children, before they showed their visitors their classrooms and beautiful work, and introduced their teachers too!

The children certainly did bring us all sunshine... thank you to everyone that joined us in making such magical moments.
