This Week

It has been fantastic participating in a wide range of activities as part of Values Week, this year focusing on the Value of ‘Intellect’.

On Thursday a group of 36 students along with 3 staff and a Governor walked the 12.75 miles from the school to Guildford Cathedral as part of our annual Pilgrimage Walk. We set off at the crack of dawn so that we could cover the first few miles in the cool of the day. We paused to join the daily assembly via Teams, and similarly participated enthusiastically in Breakeoke before heading up St Martha’s Hill and beginning the descent into Guildford. It was a beautiful day, with our thoughts and prayers lingering in our hearts as we walked along!

Whilst Years 10 and 12 walked, our Year 7 Chaplaincy Team attended the annual celebration of Catholic education at the Good Shepherd Service, this year held in Arundel Cathedral. This was a particularly special occasion as it coincided with the 150th Anniversary of the Cathedral. The Team along with pupils from the Prep School and Cranmore, represented the Trust and were warmly greeted by Bishop Richard as he received our offering of a woolly sheep in our school colours and a sash reminding everyone of our school values.

On Thursday we also celebrated Evensong for Values Week. We reflected on the intellectual giant, St Thomas More, whose feast day was celebrated on Thursday. We recalled how he employed his vast intellect, an intellect that informed his deep love of God, to stand up and confront even the King. We recalled that we celebrate this great individual in More House, our Science and Geography block. He is certainly a fantastic model of how we combine faith and intellect to become the people we are called to be.

We hope that you have had a good week.

Please make sure that your child puts on sun cream for riding and a top that covers the shoulders. It has been very warm in the afternoons and evenings recently, and it feels even hotter when riding in the arena!

If there are any school trips or events that your daughter will be doing instead of riding, then please let the office know by phone or by email. If you wish to cancel a lesson, we do require 48hrs notice or more in order to offer credit. Any later and we are unable to fill the slot with a rider for a catch up lesson or off the waitlist.
