The year's final production was 'The Witches' performed by Year 4, who were amazing, capturing Roald Dahl's humour and imaginative narrative.
'It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like so long as somebody loves you.' #drama #fun #kitebrookprep

The end of the year wouldn't be the same without a drama production and the Year 3s and 4s treated us to some wonderful Roald Dahl shows! The Year 3s put on a sterling performance of 'James and the Giant Peach' with themes of resilience, friendship and the power of imagination.

A wonderful year in Boarding concluded with an end-of-year Camp-out, attended by 40+ Year 4 to 7 children. The fun included plenty of free time for games with our friends, a treasure hunt, and enough snacks to feed an army! We cannot wait for the next one! #kitebrookprep #fun

Years 5 and 6 were given the invaluable experience of performing Shakespeare. They breathed new life into the work of a man who has been dead for over 400 years and reconfigured the characters in their own form. An exquisite performance by all. #Shakespeare #enrichment

KB hosted a Year 4 Maths Adventure Day and were joined by four local primary schools. The pupils worked in teams to complete a Maths relay on the back lawn, spent money in the tuck shop, created fruit kebabs with mathematical patterns and solved an algebra treasure hunt #outreach

This year’s Outdoor Education Week was another fantastic success, a whole school event where the pupils experience all the benefits of being in the countryside. It is hoped that apart from having fun it will instil a sense of responsibility towards environmental conservation.

Our Year 8s have returned from a fantastic 3 days in Studland Bay, Dorset with Land & Wave. They participated in many fun and challenging activities including coasteering, paddleboarding, archery, bushcraft, and a beautiful walk around Old Harry Rocks. The weather was perfect.

An English country fete is a charming and quintessentially British event and this was certainly the case at Kitebrook's fete. The stunning setting under warm sunny skies lent itself to something brimming with community spirit and nostalgia. #community #kitebrookprep #cotswolds

The EYFS children enjoyed a visit from two local hot-air balloon pilots. The children explored different types of balloons; a Hopper and a Basket. They explored inside the basket and discussed how the burner helped it fly. #kitebrookprep #cotswolds

The Year 3s participated in their first residential trip, a camp-out. They all exhibited brilliant resilience and showed excellent camping skills. Following the rules, they had an incredible time playing games, roasting marshmallows, collecting firewood and building a fire. #fun

Year 5 had a wonderful day celebrating the culture of the Caribbean with their carnival day. The day linked to their English work on 'Coming to England' by @FloellaBenjamin. Floella grew up in Trinidad and arrived in England as part of the Windrush Generation. #fun #kitebrookprep
