Issue Number 56 16 November 2016 Michaelmas
Issue Number 56 View this email in your browser 16 November 2016 I hope you all had a lovely half term with your daughters; it’s been a busy time since then. The Lower Sixth Lunch introduced the Sixth Form programme we run at Heathfield as well as celebrating our great GCSE results from the Summer. Parents, girls and staff all came together for a wonderful lunch prepared by Brookwood, followed by a presentation in the Assembly Hall and I’m sure that the pictures underneath underline the pride we have in the girls’ achievements. Our Assessment Days for Forms I and III have gone well too; it is always so special to see the nervous girls who arrive in the morning become confident spirited young women by the afternoon; an appropriate metaphor for the whole school! I have been busy too, putting out the word for Heathfield at prep schools and at the Independent Schools’ Show which has been very encouraging. As well, there has been a steady stream of parents coming in the doo to visit us. The girls, as ever, have been busy and this newsletter will outline the many and varied activities in which they have been involved. I wish you all a lovely few weeks and I look forward to seeing you at Nicky Stalls, if not before. Mrs Gardiner Legge – Headmistress Michaelmas Term Assembly Michaelmas Term was rounded off nicely on Friday 21 October during our Half Term Celebration Assembly, where we publically acknowledged all the fantastic achievements of the academic year so far.

Candidate Information Chaplain Downe House Closing Date for Applications
Candidate Information Chaplain Downe House Closing date for applications: Monday 13th February (8.00 am) Final Contents Pages About Downe House 1 The Role 5 The Person 8 Terms & Conditions 10 How to Apply & Appointment 13 Process About Downe House Location Downe House is located in the village of Cold Ash in Berkshire. Although in a village setting, it is only 5 miles outside the busy market town of Newbury and is well positioned for easy access to the M4 motorway, London and Heathrow Airport. School Description Downe House was established as a girls’ boarding school in 1907 by the first Headmistress, Miss Olive Willis, who wished to promote educational excellence within a relaxed but structured framework, which enabled girls to flourish through innovative teaching and an environment where mutual respect between staff and pupils was highly valued and pursued. The School’s first home was Down House in the village of Downe, Kent – formerly the home of Charles Darwin. The School outgrew the house so Olive Willis bought ‘The Cloisters’ in Berkshire and the School moved to its current location in Cold Ash in 1921. ‘The Cloisters’ are still at the heart of the School and consist of a white arched walkway linking many of the classrooms and the School Chapel. There are also a number of newer buildings and modern facilities including a purpose built performing arts centre, sports hall, languages resource centre and administration building. More improvements are planned as part of the Ten Year Vision for the School. Downe House is set in a peaceful location of 110 acres of wooded grounds.

Newsletter 2013
The Old Papplewickian No.13 2013 THE HEADMASTER WRITES ld Boys who have visited the school since our new Front Entrance Hall was completed in September 2012 Ohave all commented on how this new development, located in the heart of the school, has given Papplewick a completely new ‘feel’…and I’m delighted to say that this seems to have been in an entirely positive way! However, Papplewick will always be more about people than buildings, and it is in this spirit that we are keen to continue to develop our links with Old Boys over the coming twelve months. The launch of an official Old Boys Facebook site is now imminent - I hope this will enable the school to organise social evenings for Old Boys in London while also helping Old Boys to network more easily amongst yourselves. A reunion for the first major overseas rugby tour to New Zealand in 1994 will take place at Papplewick in the summer, together with a reunion in Madrid for our Spanish families in May. We also intend to hold our first Old Boys versus Staff football match in the autumn although it may disappoint some of you that a similar rugby fixture is still some The Headmaster in Seoul for the Korean reunion last year, talking to way off! With the school in good heart, I hope such events will Simon Kim (2004-06). only help to strengthen the bond between Old Boys and Papplewick, and the school was in no better heart than in 2012 do please drop in whenever you feel inspired to do so – Sallie when senior boys won thirteen scholarships, including two and I would be absolutely delighted to see you either at academic scholarships to Eton and one to Winchester amongst Papplewick or at one of the forthcoming social events during a record haul of seven academic scholarships in total.
