Over the last academic year, our fantastic pupils have been working with local schools to share a bit of the magic of a Farnborough Hill education.
Sixth Form students spent September and early October devising a Matilda themed Musical Theatre workshop to take on the road to local primary schools. A total of ten workshops were delivered ensuring an afternoon of utterly revolting fun for numerous Year 5 pupils! This was a long-term commitment from our students, with the final workshop taking place just before May half term.
This term, Mr Joe Adams and a handful of our talented musicians delivered musical assemblies to two local primary schools, demonstrating their instrumental prowess and talking with passion about all the skills they have gained from learning an instrument (beyond the obvious!). Meanwhile, Mrs Bell, Mr Hawkins, Miss Collier and their Lower Sixth historians have welcomed Year 3 pupils from two schools to Farnborough Hill for a local history morning where they learned, through three hands on sessions (including, of course, some dressing up!), what it would have been like to live at Farnborough Hill in the Victorian era. Needless to say, the life of the Empress was more appealing than the lives of her house staff! Three more schools will be enjoying a history morning with us before the end of the summer.
Finally, coming up later this month, is our amazing Empower day. Now in it's third year, it is an opportunity for our Year 9 pupils to shine, taking responsibility for welcoming and hosting over 150 Year 4 children from three local schools for a day of extra-curricular activities based around three curriculum strands: STEM, Creative and Performing Arts and Sport. More on that in a later issue!
It’s been super to engage with local schools and children in a meaningful way, adding a little to their education while our girls have gained hands-on experience of project management and working with different age groups and all the skills that entails. We’re hoping to extend the outreach programme further in 2025 / 26 – watch this space!
