We were delighted to welcome Jemma from Restless Development to assembly to introduce the 2025 Knight Frank Schools Triathlon. This will take place at Cranleigh School on 18th May 2025. We look forward to seeing lots of Prep pupils taking part, swimming, cycling and running to raise money for Restless Development and the Royal Trinity Hospice.

At the 2024 triathlon, Parkgate teams raised an impressive £9237, and two Parkgate teams were the top fundraisers at the event - the Cheery Cheerios raised an incredible £1734, and the Speedy Squirrels raised an amazing £1437! 👏👏👏

At the weekend, Mila and her sister Luna performed in the English Youth Ballet’s production of ‘Cinderella in Hollywood’. It was wonderful to see them performing with such technical agility and confidence. It was also lovely to see so many Parkgate children there, enjoying the experience of theatre and at the same time supporting their friends.

This week, Parkgate pupils have been taking part in activities to mark Anti-Bullying Week and its national theme: “Choose Respect”. For example, Pre-Prep 2 pupils explored a range of scenarios relating to respect – the children discussed what they would do in each scenario, and how they would ask for help. Pupils also listened to the stories ‘All Are Welcome’ and ‘Be More Badger’, relating to respect and tolerance. The children then wrote about what respect looks like, sounds like and feels like.

During assembly, Miss Morgan, our Deputy Head, explained that the average person makes 35000 choices every day. Miss Morgan reminded all pupils of the importance of making good choices, such as choosing kindness and respect - two of our Parkgate Virtues.

Our Parkgate Virtues are fully embedded into school life, and our Jigsaw PSHE Programme ensures that our Virtues and pupils’ wellbeing are at the heart of all we do. We are delighted that @jigsaweducationgroup has renewed our Flagship School status this week, in recognition of the success of our PSHE programme.

Parkgate pupils created a poignant piece of artwork to mark Remembrance Day - every child from Reception to Prep 6 created a poppy to add to Prep 6’s atmospheric painting.

We are very grateful to one of our Parkgate parents for teaching our Nursery children about the importance of Remembrance Day, and for showing the children his medals.

Our Nursery and Reception children went on a trip to the Mud Club on Clapham Common yesterday. They particularly enjoyed making “cakes” and potions in the mud kitchen, creating their own streams and investigating the soil to find mini beasts. They also had a lot of fun “selling” leaves underneath the tepee!

We enjoyed a wonderful Parents’ Assembly on Friday, featuring musical and LAMDA performances, Prep 3 and 4 plays, a karate showcase, an art display and an update from our Head Girl, Ines. Very well done to all involved! 👏👏👏

We also heard a Fun Run update from our Sports Captain, Minty, and we were delighted that Phil Cuthell from the Royal Trinity Hospice was able to join us, to outline the importance of community fundraising. Our recent House Fun Run raised an amazing £3504 - a big thank you to all who donated.
