  • Newsletter Friday 17Th May 2019
    Fortnightly Newsletter Friday 17th May 2019 FROM THE HEADMISTRESS Dear Parents, This time of year can bring many changes: sunshine, showers, new flowers and plants, cooler clothes and maybe even an ice cream or two in the recent sunny spell. Whatever the weather, the Summer Term at Feltonfleet is a special place. Light mornings and evenings mean that our days are long and allow us to make the most of our beautiful campus. The cricket season is in full flow with dozens of matches having already been played by both girls and boys, and the site is awash with outdoor activities. The Pre-Prep seasonal hats and sun cream have been in evidence as the pupils’ learning has found a more permanent home outside. The Lower School have been busy making the best of the site and cartwheeling their way through break times. It has been a more focused and testing period for Year 5 & 6, yet they have engaged positively with exam week and left this morning full of excitement for their Isle of Wight weekend adventure. 'Loud',‘ upbeat’ and ‘exhilarating’ are the words to describe the atmosphere in the Ashbee Theatre during this week’s rehearsals for the Jazz Night next Tuesday. Listening to the Middle and Upper Choirs pouring the song Our House by Madness into the corridors was spine -tingling! Over the past seven days our community has raised over £14,000, a brilliant community effort. On Friday evening, the annual Royal Marsden Quiz Night was supported by enthusiastic parents who quizzed and danced until midnight.

From broken bones and viral bugs, to major surgery and life threatening conditions, the staff there see it all. Many patients arrive via the hospital’s emergency department which, last year, saw over 5,000 children after falls, head injuries and even objects stuck up noses. While 90% go home the same day, others aren’t so lucky. One boy staying overnight is nine-year-old Jack. What began as a fun game of hide and seek in school, ends in A&E with a suspected broken arm. His grandparents are with him but, like many children in pain, Jack just wants his mum.
