Our flag is being flown at half-mast on top of Walhampton’s Main House.
We gathered at our memorial garden and also in chapel today to say a prayer, take a minute’s silence, pay our respects and give thanks for Queen Elizabeth II.
As a school community, we unite in loss for Queen Elizabeth II, but in celebration, too. We will continue to follow Her Majesty’s example of kindness, duty, service, humility and unwavering commitment which she embodied throughout her reign....
... Our prayers and thoughts are with the Royal Family at this sad time. We will give our community an opportunity to come together and pay respects for our longest serving monarch at our chapel service tomorrow.
From horse & carriage parades, to town bands, space hoppers and Pre-Prep crowns ….it could only be Walhampton’s Jubilee celebrations! We wish you all a fabulous half term week and lots of Jubilee fun! #QueensJubileeCelebrations#JubileeJamboree
Our restyled match teas in the courtyard are helping us to help others. There’s a bin especially for crisp packets - the slit cut into the lid makes it easier for us to collect and send them off to @TerraCycleUK who will make a donation to ‘Send a Cow’ in Africa.
During Short Break, @WalhamptonHead read out the names of those from this community who gave their lives for this country, the whole school stood silently on the front lawn. Silence was not the only accompaniment - Eliza played a quite outstanding Last Post #RemembranceDay2021
Launching our first school value following Our Big Conversation. Our children told us that they wanted Walhampton to be a kind community and so it is an attribute that we have placed first and foremost amongst our school values .@WalhamptonHead#KindnessMatters#schoolvalues
Our children told us that they wanted Walhampton to be a kind community and so it is an attribute that we have placed first and foremost amongst our school values.
Here's the story that was used in assembly to launch kindness as our first school value.

@walhamptonprep education is for life. Values are far more than mere abstract notions, they are the key to a life well lived. We measure success not just by outcomes at 13 but, more importantly, by what they go on to do and be.
