Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Thanks to our wonderful PTA!

  Fri 19 Apr 2024

  Thanks again to the PTA and all the funding they have put into improving Red Class’ outdoor area. Outdoor learning is such an important part of Early Years and it is great that your generous contributions to the PTA are going towards making a real difference to our children. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to replace the dilapidated sandpit with a brand new one that the children are already enjoying. I don’t think Anakin Skywalker would approve but we don’t want the Sith messing around in our outdoor space anyway so there.

• Easter Service at St Luke's

  Thu 28 Mar 2024

  It was lovely to see so many people at St. Luke’s yesterday for our Easter service. It was a really great atmosphere and it was wonderful to see some fresh ideas in terms of what the children were doing. There were marches and songs and lovely readings and it gave me a very positive feeling leading into the holidays. Thank you to Mrs Tennant and the staff for organising it. Happy Easter everyone!

• Thank you Grayshott Cricket Club!

  Fri 22 Mar 2024

  Thank you so much to the coaches of Grayshott Cricket Club, who gave up their time today to deliver introductory sessions to our children in Red, Yellow and Blue Classes. A little rain didn’t stop play and the children really enjoyed learning how to bat and bowl.

• The Appliance of Science

  Fri 15 Mar 2024

  Monday morning was a great opportunity for our children to carry out science experiments all over the school. They split into their house groups and did a ‘carousel’ of investigations with different teachers. Turmeric was everywhere and they made hoop gliders and all sorts. There was lots of excited chatter as they all went from place to place and it was so lovely to see our children from Gold and Silver Classes taking care of the younger ones and helping them find their way. Great team work! Thank you to Mrs Ashton-Smith for organising this opportunity for us.

• World Book Day

  Fri 08 Mar 2024

  It was wonderful to cut through all the glitz and costumery that is usually associated with World Book Day and focus on what the day is really about – Reading! The children got comfy in their pyjamas and onesies and read and talked about their favourite books. The school council gave a presentation in a special assembly about what they get out of reading and about some of their recommendations to different year groups. There was a ‘Masked Reader’ competition where children were amazed to find out just how convincing Mr Clarke’s Scottish accent is. The Book café idea worked really well and raised £310 towards new books for classrooms. We are planning a new event for September called ‘Bedtime Stories’ and you’ll hear more about that later on. Thank you for your support with this.

• Trips to Mecca

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  Muskaan spoke very eloquently and enthusiastically to Silver Class to describe and explain everything that she experienced following her family's trip to Mecca over the half term break. She described in detail what needed to be done in order to complete Umra and how it made her feel. She brought back gifts of water from the Zamzam well and dates for the children to try as they heard about and saw images of what it was like. Thank you Muskaan for sharing this incredible experience with us. Her sister Inaya did the same for Blue Class and Waqas shared a presentation with Green Class, what an excellent idea. We really all get so much out of times like these, when our students want to share their stories and life events with us. Travelling to Mecca is a massive part of the life of any Muslim and we’re so glad our children had the chance to do this.

• Roman Shields

  Fri 23 Feb 2024

  Stunning work over half term by Purple Class children, working hard to create their Roman shields for their new History topic. They made a wonderful display, organising themselves into a testudo (tortoise) formation to repel an attack by bloodthirsty Britons. The Emperor himself would approve, I’m sure. Thank you for all the work that they put in over the week, and the support they had form you.

• Bikeability in Grayshott

  Fri 02 Feb 2024

  Gold Class were brilliant in their bikeability sessions this week. They were well-prepared and were great ambasasadors for the school as they rode around the local area. Thanks to the professional team who came in to work with them, and thanks to all of you parents for helping them get ready for it.

• Letters from Blue Class

  Fri 26 Jan 2024

  Blue Class have written some fantastic letters out to people around the world to take action about water pollution. This ‘courageous advocacy’ shows a real community spirit and a desire to take action. We’re very proud of Blue Class for the time and energy they have put into writing these letters and we look forward to seeing the response.  

• Message from I'm All Ears

  Thu 25 Jan 2024

  I’m all ears is a small but growing Community Interest Company providing listening and counselling services in the Surrey/East Hants/Sussex tri county our office is based in Grayshott. I’m all ears provides low cost /free of charge counselling to clients of all ages by a variety of means in person, online and telephone. We passionately believe that being able to provide mental health support locally and quickly when needed is vital to securing the best possible outcomes for our clients and we know we are making a big difference in our local community- having provided over 1650 hours of counselling in the last 12 months.

   

  I’m all ears is run by volunteer qualified counsellors. To keep our costs low and be able to help as many people as possible we work closely with final year trainee counsellors under supervision. They get the clinic hours they need to complete their training while providing much needed support to local people. In addition to the trainees, we also work with a network of qualified associate counsellors who provide us with a number of hours at a reduced rate for those clients that have needs that students are unable to counsel. All our funding comes from a few small funding grants and donations, so we would like to say a big THANK YOU to you all at Grayshott School for your kind donations over the Christmas period.

   

  The money that you donated over Christmas, over £125, was enough to fund five counselling sessions for young people in our community who really need support.
