Throwback Thursday Throwback Thursday! We've loved flicking through this incredible black-and-white scrapbook showing the early days of Kettering Preparatory School, right through to the 1960s. From the elegant senior girls of Angus House to children playing in the gardens of Sunnylands, it's amazing how much has changed, and yet, so much has stayed the same! #ThrowbackThursday #History #Sunnylands #KetteringPrep #CommunityHeritage #SmallButMighty
Year 4 Go Bang at Bosworth! Our lucky Year 4 pupils enjoyed an explosive day of discovery at Bosworth Independent School this week! From blowing up jelly babies to testing food for sugar content and conducting bubbling, fizzing reactions, it was science at its most exciting! The children loved using Bosworth's state-of-the-art science labs and even started their visit with brunch in the Head's office! A huge thank you to our friends at Bosworth for such a warm welcome and for inspiring the next generation of scientists. What an unforgettable day of curiosity, creativity and confidence in the community! #BosworthIndependentSchool #ScienceInAction #STEMEducation #Year4Adventures #SmallSchoolBigHeart
Preschool Scarecrow Day! Our Preschool children (and staff!) had the most wonderful time celebrating Scarecrow Day yesterday! Everyone came dressed as cheerful little scarecrows, ready for a day filled with storytime, crafts, outdoor fun, and all things autumnal. From reading The Scarecrow's Wedding to building their very own scarecrows, it was a day bursting with creativity, laughter, and learning. Thank you to our brilliant Preschool team for making it such a magical day; the children looked absolutely amazing! #PreschoolMagic #ScarecrowDay #AutumnLearning #EarlyYearsFun #SmallSchoolBigHeart
