Well done to Rudi & Henry with their certificates for the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge. Over 270,000 pupils entered this year from nationwide. Of these, only 6% received Gold and 13% Silver. Extra kudos to Rudi who was among the only 3% invited to sit the Junior Maths Olympiad.

Our pupils can't be with their friends at this uncertain time. But they came together as a virtual choir for this beautiful video recording of Over the Rainbow in recognition of the #chasetherainbow campaign. #TogetherApart #StayAtHomeAFilmOrSong

Wow! Children at Sompting Abbotts made this virtual performance of Pachelbel’s Canon, one of the most loved pieces of music. Music Head Annette Williamson arranged it so that string players could play from children aged 6 to 11, alongside their teachers. vimeo.com/433928437

If children lose contact with the natural world, they won't fight for it - that is our ethos. So we're delighted @SomptingAbbott has been shortlisted for a prestigious Green Award in the Independent Schools of the Year 2021 Awards! #independentschoolsoftheyear #greenlearning
