For many parents with four or five years olds, finding out their child’s allocated school earlier this year was a nerve-wracking time!

tennis and swimming, as well as the development of a superb music and drama programmes for all children”.

And with the news that many didn’t get their first choice - Ranby House School’s Headmaster Christian Pritchard explains why so many parents who might have chosen state school are now looking to the independent sector – especially as the all-inclusive fee model means private school is more affordable than one might think.

“For many Ranby House parents, the fact that clubs, societies and sports opportunities are included in our fees is key – enabling children to try their hand at a variety of different things, without parents having to budget for extra-curricular activities.”

“With a school day that starts from our popular Breakfast club and finishes after Homework Club, our parents have the flexibility of ensuring that family time at home really does mean family time”, says Mr Pritchard.

“We’ve recently increased our offer of specialist subjects and lessons into Early Years and Years One and Two and our Sports programme is continuing to grow. This includes various fixtures with increased access to sports coaches, additional options such as

“It’s not too late to take a look at other options - so we’d encourage parents to come and visit us and find out whether Ranby House could be the right school for your child.”

To learn more about our all-inclusive fee model, plus availability for September 2018 – get in touch with the friendly team at Ranby House. Call 01909 537100, email admissions@wsnl.co.uk or pop along to the Worksop College and Ranby House tent and have a chat to one of the team. You’ll find the tent in the Workshop Zone!

Thrills and Skills For Life at The Pauline Quirke Academy The Pauline Quirke Academy is a weekend performing arts school for 4-18 year olds. Actress Pauline Quirke told us, “When we opened our first Academy in 2007 our mission was simply to provide the very best performing arts education. We’ve grown a lot since then, but that mission hasn’t changed. By working with people we believe are outstanding in their field, we aim to bring the widest, most exciting experience to our students in an environment that is both friendly and rewarding.”

PQA’s core modules in Comedy & Drama, Musical Theatre and Film & Television teach a comprehensive range of skills, which are useful for everyday life, not just a career in the performing arts, whilst masterclasses allow students to experience more specialist lessons in areas like stage combat, beat boxing, street dance and SFX make up.

PQA believe in rewarding and inspiring their students, so along with regular reports to monitor their progress, all students are offered group exams through Trinity College London - at no additional charge to parents. These exams fit in perfectly with work the students are doing anyway, present a very enjoyable challenge and are the perfect way to celebrate all their hard work.

As well as many in-house productions and showcases there are two stand-out highlights for all PQA students. The first is the chance to see their short film projects on the big screen of their local cinema, where they get to walk down the red-carpet just like the Hollywood stars. Some of these films even get selected for the PQA Film Festival, where winning films are shown on the huge screen at the Cineworld Leicester Square in a glamorous event students and parents will never forget! The second is the chance to take part in one of the annual PQA shows in the West End. Every year different academies join together to create a spectacular show at a top West End Theatre!

For those students who want the chance to work professionally there is the opportunity to join Quirky Kidz Creative Management (QK) – an agency that exclusively represents PQA students. QK clients have won parts in many high profile projects including Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (West End); Peaky Blinders (BBC); EastEnders (BBC); and the smash-hit feature film Les Miserables.

Sweetness and Pea are a natural parenting shop based in Gloucestershire that began life in 2014 in Becky’s spare bedroom, inspired by her long term love of recycling and a new found love of cloth nappies following the birth of her 1st child Leo. At Sweetness and Pea, we pride ourselves on taking out the hassle of identifying eco-friendly products. We have done all the research and testing for you to ensure that they really are as eco as they claim and are of great quality. Every product stocked at S&P has been tried and tested either by Becky, Leo or a member of the team prior to being added to the website.

Starting out as a cloth nappy shop, over the years, Sweetness and Pea has evolved to offer a variety of Natural and Eco Friendly products for the eco conscious family. Alongside reusable nappies and their various accessories, you will find products such as reusable feminine pads, washable nursing pads and Organic Skincare for Mum, Baby and the family.

Follow us on social media for latest news and offers

Towards the end of last year, a wide range of wooden toys were introduced to Sweetness and Pea including the ever popular Le Toy Van! This range is made from sustainable wood sources in Indonesia using fairtrade practices during the manufacturing process. From the beautiful London Bus through to one of our best sellers, the Wooden Rocket, each Le Toy Van product is beautifully constructed and of high quality to last many years.

Plum Discovery Mud Pie Kitchen

Plum toys are one of the latest additions to our wooden toy range, offering sustainable and sturdy outdoor toys like the incredible Mud Kitchen and the Paint and Play Easel as well as imaginative indoor toys that include multi use role play kitchens and dolls houses.

The Gruffalo Story Sack

A best seller at Sweetness and Pea are our exclusive Story Sacks. Each sack is provided with a linen bag and a range of wooden figures to play out the story book! The Gruffalo is one of our most popular, closely followed by A Squash and A Squeeze. Story sacks are a great way to promote independence and harvest participation during story time.

We have lots more story sack ideas in the pipeline and can’t wait to show them off!

As well as gifts for children, we have introduced beautiful, sustainable and eco friendly products for the grown ups Unicorn Namaste bamboo too! The bamboo coffee cup from Chic.MIC coffee cups found on our website are a favourite with both customers and staff alike! Each cup features a beautiful yet unique design and a screw top lid that keeps drinks hot for between 2-3hrs. A silicone sleeve is provided with each cup for ease of handling and each cup is stain and odour free – perfect for sneaking in some mulled wine in the winter! You’ll see the S&P staff with theirs in use this weekend at Gloworm Festival!

The eco soy candles By Heather May are a huge hit with customers looking for gifts for family and friends. We stock a wide variety of unique fragrances in both tea light and Crackle candle sizes that will be available to smell all weekend at our stand.
