Week 1 of virtual lessons done ✅ Waffle night courtesy of Mr Brailsford (@mckenziebrails) 🧇 Don’t mind if we do! #boardinglife

There may be far fewer in house at the moment but it does make it easier to play some games! Great fun playing #BeatThat followed by Sports Hall battleships and volleyball #downtime #unplugged #missingthegang

A fun DT lesson learning about different types of plastics (and melting them!) for some of our Y6 boarders in there pod today #practicallearning

Yesterday, the SLT spent the day travelling in one direction. We’ve changed direction overnight and are now focused on the new road ahead. Looking forward to sharing plans with pupils, parents and staff in the next 24 hours. All will be ready for the start of term next Tuesday.

@drmehealth1 Not sure what they’d have made of DJ Jazzy Jeff to be fair! 😂

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night 😴🎄

It was a real blessing to get to the #DeanClosePrepSchool carols by candlelight service yesterday and hear some of our boarders singing and reading. I believe there will be a recording available very soon too 🤞#carols #jazzyorgansolo #ashininglight

Turns out Caldecote boys scrub up pretty well! 🚿🧼 Who’d have thought it! 👌 #onpoint #boarderschristmasdinner

[DCPS Boarding @DCPSBoarding]

Sadly no Christmas shopping and movie trip for the boarders this year. However, when you have a spare theatre on-site, watching Elf in household bubbles + hot chocolate and treats isn’t too bad and alternative! #itssantaiknowhim #weloveboarding

[DCPS Boarding @DCPSBoarding]

4 degrees 🥶 wet 🌧 and windy 🌬 - perfect for our @DCPSBoarding Santa run! 🎅 totally awesome effort by these boarders and staff all running between 4.5-10.5km before breakfast! #betterneverstops
