Borehole changes lives
Back in October 2022, Mr SmithBingham ran his first London Marathon with the hope he could raise £2,500 for the Henry Van Straubenzee Memorial Fund, a charity close to the School’s heart.

Little did he know then that he would garner such support from the generous Ludgrove community that he would smash this target to achieve more than he could have dreamed.
Fast forward six months and Mr Smith-Bingham’s momentous final total of £6,782 has funded a borehole to produce fresh water for the children at Kifuyo Primary School in Uganda.
Hawkeye’s Harriers fly around London Winter Run
Ludgrove’s kind-hearted staff have once again gone the extra mile to support a deserving cause. In February, the Hawkeye’s Harriers runners successfully completed the Winter London Run and raised over £5,000 for Cancer Research UK along the way! Well done to Mr Buckner, Mr and Mrs French, Mrs Musson, Mr O’Conor, Mr Parker, Mr Smith-Bingham, Mr Smyth, and Mrs Wilson.
Congratulations to the happy couple
The cold Winter months were brightened by the exciting news of Mr Western-Kaye’s engagement to his partner Miss Butler. The School community congratulates the happy couple and wishes them many years of wedded bliss. Now all Mr W-K needs to do is choose a Best Man from his Div!
Having received updates while work was been undertaken, we are delighted to share the photo (left) showing that not only has work been completed but children are now able to pump clean, fresh water from their very own supply.
Thank you to everyone who donated to this incredible cause and well done to Mr SmithBingham - what a reward for your sterling fund raising efforts!
Kicking off 2023 with a new team of Gappers
The start of the Easter term saw the School welcome a new clutch of Gappers, four from Australia and one OL. The boys were excited to meet Mr Arnold, OL Mr Edwards, Mr Lazarus, Miss Tobin, and Miss Borg.
Sadly, Mr Edwards and Mr Lazarus were only able to stay one term so we will be welcoming two new members of the team in the Summer.
