Thrilled to see our own Maddie (L4) taking her deserved place in the national final of the ISA Young Musician concert. You can enjoy her entry here, in the 'Middle' category.

@patrick_kidd Dickens' false bookcase is still in place here at @GadsHillSchool. Feel free to peruse the titles here yourself post-pandemic.

We received an absolute treasure this week @GadsHillSchool, from the daughter-in-law of a Gadshillian who was here in 1932 - when the school was only 8 years old. This beautiful photo album is a wonderful step back in time...

@shanemochriecox Thank you very much to you and the Mayor of Gravesham for joining us. We were disappointed not to have the opportunity to mark the occasion properly as planned - perhaps when we are able to safely welcome back all of our pupils, you might be kind enough to visit us again?

Great to catch our Chef Manager at sunrise - gathering bay leaves for today's chicken and vegan chasseur. Love this school! @GadsHillSchool

Well done to all the courageous young people who joined us @GadsHillSchool this morning for the Charles Dickens Scholarship assessment. Great to meet so many talented, enthusiastic and well-mannered Year 6s! Now enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Science teacher looking for something different? We have an exciting opportunity for a passionate teacher of KS3 and KS4 Science in our Independent Day School in the beautiful grounds of the home of Charles Dickens. https://t.co/kd3PNZnvsa #Science #TeachingJobs @GadsHillSchool

Great morning welcoming so many new children (and familiar faces) back to @GadsHillSchool for the new term. Enjoyed my first Kindergarten and Junior assembly, especially since I could talk about my love for Lego... Love their enthusiasm for school!

My sincerest thanks to the Mayor of Medway, Cllr @HabibTejan, for attending the @GadsHillSchool Senior Prizegiving Service last night, & to Neil Roskilly, @ISAschoolsCEO, for presenting prizes and delivering an excellent speech - a true gentleman and great support in my 1st year.

Up on the roof of Charles Dickens' Gad's Hill Place, ready for this evening's traditional Upper Fifth Leavers' Service and roof signing. A rather unusual view!

Make-up on, mics checked, scene set... Almost curtain up on @GadsHillSchool Juniors' three night run of Aladdin here in the drama theatre, after a dazzling matinee earlier. Break a leg!

@kentlibraries @GadsHillSchool Thank you so much for visiting!

[Paul Savage @MrPSavage]

The pupils I spoke with found this trip incredibly useful. @UniCreativeArts are having a very successful year with national recognition for teaching excellence and high graduate employment rates - a great time to be developing a burgeoning partnership with them!
