Some serious good plaited brioches from Wilton in our #DeanClosePrepSchool ‘technical challenge’ round of our boarders #GBBO

A fun Exeat weekend in school for 5 of our overseas boarders. 🍕🍦🕺 #nevertoocoldforicecream

Totally love these super cute reindeer tree decorations one of our Dean Close School Y7 boarders has made to raise money for his favourite charity. #polarbears #seasonofgiving

We hope you have enjoyed the #ChristmasLights along the Shelburne Road this week, last night the school was lit up in rainbow colours. Thank you #NHS and #KeyWorkers for everything you have done this year and continue to do 🌈 - lights provided by Enlightened. #CloseCommunity

4 degrees 🥶 wet 🌧 and windy 🌬 - perfect for our DCPS Boarding Santa run! 🎅 totally awesome effort by these boarders and staff all running between 4.5-10.5km before breakfast! #betterneverstops

Sadly no Christmas shopping and movie trip for the boarders this year. However, when you have a spare theatre on-site, watching Elf in household bubbles + hot chocolate and treats isn’t too bad and alternative! #itssantaiknowhim #weloveboarding

Turns out Caldecote boys scrub up pretty well! 🚿🧼 Who’d have thought it! 👌 #onpoint #boarderschristmasdinner

🎄🎄Now is the moment that so many of you have been waiting for! A wonderfully festive rendition of 🔔Jingle Bells🔔 by our fabulous DCPS pupils!🎄🎄 Merry Christmas from all at DCPS! #DeanCloseMusic #DeanClosePrepSchool DCPS Music

It was a real blessing to get to the #DeanClosePrepSchool carols by candlelight service yesterday and hear some of our boarders singing and reading. I believe there will be a recording available very soon too 🤞#carols #jazzyorgansolo #ashininglight

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night 😴🎄

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2021. #GoodBye2020 #Caldecote90sVibes #HouseParty

Yesterday, the SLT spent the day travelling in one direction. We’ve changed direction overnight and are now focused on the new road ahead. Looking forward to sharing plans with pupils, parents and staff in the next 24 hours. All will be ready for the start of term next Tuesday.

A fun DT lesson learning about different types of plastics (and melting them!) for some of our Y6 boarders in there pod today #practicallearning

There may be far fewer in house at the moment but it does make it easier to play some games! Great fun playing #BeatThat followed by Sports Hall battleships and volleyball #downtime #unplugged #missingthegang

Week 1 of virtual lessons done ✅ Waffle night courtesy of Mr Brailsford (Mckenzie Brailsford) 🧇 Don’t mind if we do! #boardinglife
