Fancy a Walk to the North Pole?

Rob Hill and Roly Burr decided to mark a significant birthday with a challenge - to walk the last degree of the globe to the North Pole, a distance of 110km over the Arctic ice cap.

The Challenge goes beyond the expedition itself. Today they came to Aldwickbury not only to present the expedition, but also to promote science, discovery, the environment and a spirit of self achievement to the Year 6 – 8 boys.

English National Ballet leap into Action

The boys of Aldwickbury were again treated to the expertise of the teachers of the English National Ballet. Members of the Company, including male dancer Grant, took the boys through a workshop based on the innovative dance MenYMen. This was created to celebrate the athleticism, dynamism and strength of male dancers. The boys quickly became aware of the level of physical fitness required as well as the need for team work. A superb session ensured the boys… read more

The Great Fire of London

Year 2 very much enjoyed their workshop on The Great Fire of London.  The boys always gain a great deal from these practical days.  They looked fantastic in their Stuart costumes and experienced first hand what it was like to be an apprentice: baker, barber, surgeon, apothecary and chandler at that time in history.

Swimming

Swimming

At our first gala of the year against Heath Mount, in a very close contest, we lost narrowly 156 to 164.  It was the first gala for our Year 3 boys who did very well and seemed to enjoy the experience!  Well done to our Year 6 boys who won all their races.  We entertain HABS on Tuesday 31 January starting at 4:30pm.  All spectators are very welcome.

Aldwickbury Friends Association

At Aldwickbury we are delighted to be  forming an association for parents called Aldwickbury Friends Association (AFA). This is an idea that has been in our thinking for some time. I am thrilled that these plans are finally coming to fruition. I am grateful for the support and hard work of the parents that we invited to help get this project off the ground.  

As the Headmaster I have always been aware… read more

Strictly Gershwin

Year 6 boys had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Coliseum Theatre in London to see the English National Ballet perform Strictly Gershwin.

Some were amazed before the performance begun by the stunning interior of this theatre. Our Head of Latin should be pleased with their recognition of some of the figures portrayed.

It was thrilling to see the boys totally engrossed in the stunning performances. The tap dancing both surprised and delighted them.

Rugby 

Our Colts teams were involved in some 'training' matches on Wednesday against Lochinver House School. Many of our Year 5 and 6 boys had the opportunity to play, and the coaches of the three teams were very impressed with their high level of performance. Our Colts A team managed to gain a fine win, whilst our B's and C's went down narrowly. Well done to all of the boys who participated, and… read more

Fairness

It requires less character to discover the faults of others

than is does to tolerate them. J. Petit Senn

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all.

The calm start to the term was interrupted on Wednesday with a burst pipe above the changing room ceiling.  The boys in Year 3 who were showering were getting wet, but so were the ones outside of the showers who were changing!  The response of the boys and the staff was tremendous, the boys reacted sensibly and adapted to the changes for the rest of the afternoon.… read more
