London to Brighton Bike Ride - Thank You
Mon 19 Jun 2017On Sunday 18th June, Miss Percy, Mrs Brehaut and the rest of the 'San Diego Platypus' cycling team took on the London to Brighton Bike Ride for the British Heart Foundation.
It was an absolute scorcher but the atmosphere was incredible and carried us across the finish line with huge smiles on our faces! The challenge of Ditchling Beacon on the South Downs was absolutely immense and, somehow, through sheer grit and determination, we made it to the top!
Thank you so much to all of those who sponsored us, we are hugely grateful for your generous donations - every penny will make an enormous difference to the work of the British Heart Foundation.
Our sponsorship page is still live if you would like to donate.
We hope that the children feel inspired to take on their own challenges in the future and remember: "It doesn't matter when you cross the finish line. It just matters that you do."

Family Week 2017: Our Community
Wed 07 Jun 2017This year’s Family Week was one of our best yet! It focused on our role as part of a community, ranging from our local area to globally. We were able to share quality time and wonderful experiences with family and friends. At the beginning of Family Week, a selection of children from across the school walked to Poole Park to tick off activities included in the National Trust’s ‘50 Things to do Before you’re 11 ¾’, including climbing trees and making Daisy chains. Lower and upper school classes ‘buddied up’ to share in fun activities such as arts, crafts and athletics.
The Sports Ambassadors took part in an exciting opportunity to collaborate with children from Victoria School. They were able to practise their leadership skills and learn how to play new sports such as Boccia and Floor Cricket.
We were grateful to have the help of family members and children with clearing the pond and garden area. The weather was great and everyone worked really hard! This is an ongoing project and we would really appreciate any further support.
Family Week finished with an amazing afternoon starting with the family picnic which, once again, had an enormous turn out. The children were proud to show off their spectacular trolleys during the parade! After the picnic, many family members stayed to take part in the den building afternoon. There were some very impressive structures created, which ended up providing excellent shelter from what turned out to be a sweltering day. If that wasn’t enough, there was a fantastic atmosphere for Family Fit Friday, with adults and children joining together to have an afternoon of fun and fitness.
Thank you to everybody involved in Family Week. The participation from parents, carers and families has been absolutely overwhelming and we look forward to next year!
