HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 14 OCTOBER 2022
A note from the Head… It was lovely to welcome lots of families to our Open Morning last weekend; there was a very positive atmosphere throughout Hesketh House. A special thank you to all of the girls who helped out with our different activities and especially the Ambassadors who took visitors on tours of the school. There were plenty of lovely comments about how well they had spoken and how informative they were – very well done!

Diwali Dance Workshops Thursday 13 October Girls in all classes had lots of fun in our Diwali Dance Workshops on Thursday. They were introduced to The Ramayana, an important story retold by Hindus as part of their Diwali celebrations. They then learnt and performed a traditional dance, which followed the tale from beginning to end.
