Last Saturday, the School playground came alive once more after a three year absence for the return of the famous Junior School Summer Fête, hosted by the Friends of Francis Holland. The playground was awash with colour as bunting hung high and balloons cascaded from every corner. The food, prepared by our skilled catering team, was delicious and plentiful, and the bar did a roaring trade all day! This year the event was a sell out with almost 500 parents, friends and children filling the playground.

As ever, a wonderful team of parents had spent weeks preparing for the event creating activities for the children to enjoy. The girls had such a splendid day that we are already looking forward to next year’s!

A special thanks must go to the Junior Friends’ Committee, who, under the skilled guidance of David Cadwallader, created such a successful event. We are so lucky to have such a hugely supportive and generous parent body.
