Yesterday some of the Aldro staff put on an incredible Panto performance of Cinderella for all the children. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! Can you spot our headmaster in the cast?!

The boarders enjoyed their annual Christmas feast weekend. It started off with a gingerbread house making competition followed by the feast and awards and and Christmas film. On Sunday after a pyjama breakfast we braved the weather and went ice skating at Hampton Court Palace.

The U10A drew 2-2 in their match, taking the lead twice before Highfield came back strong in the second half. U10B also took the lead in their match, eventually losing 4-3. Both matches were highly competitive and a super exhibition of how much the girls’ skills have improved!

The Artists in form 6 have been exploring contour drawing as a new way of looking - really seeing what they are drawing instead of relying on what they think they know. They created self portraits using one single line of black pen.

The boarders at Aldro love to spend time with the matrons chatting about their day, reading books and having a snack. On these cold evenings, the boarding houses are a lovely cosy place to have fun with their friends and relax.

This weekend the full time boy boarders enjoyed a shopping trip to Camberley. They also had an all you can eat Asian buffet and a lot of fun at the Arcade. #icecream #winthosetokens #aldroboarding #aldro #boardinglife

The boys boarding house is always a fun place to be for a bit of chill time before bed on a cold winter evening.
