WELCOME from the Head of the Junior School
This year has seen records being set in the environment around us, with May 2020 breaking records for the sunniest month in the United Kingdom whilst February was the wettest. It is not just the physical environment that has seen such change this year, the learning environment here in the Junior School has been completely reimagined.

The Junior School you see through photographs and snapshots in many of these pages was adjusted and adapted to a remote provision during the Spring term, then returned back to the building during the latter part of the Summer term. In making these changes, the school community has demonstrated our phenomenal ability to adapt and adjust, a beacon of positivity and a testament to our efforts in building resilience within our community.
Looking through the magazine you will see the joy and love of learning we are so very proud of, something that has continued throughout our remote learning provision, during the period of lockdown. Equal attention was paid to all subjects with pupils and colleagues taking part in community challenges, a virtual sports week and collective endeavours in performing arts. I personally have loved witnessing and sharing in the enthusiasm and creativity demonstrated by the pupils and teachers, not just within the pages of this magazine but as something I see every day here in the Junior School.
This edition of the magazine will be an important record of a very unique year and despite the challenges, you still find evidence of the pupils’ endless positivity and excitement in engaging with the learning opportunities on offer here at Habs. The lessons learnt this year extend far beyond the classroom, beyond specific subjects and reach to the core of our values.
