On Thursday, our kindergarten and Prep pupils stepped up into the next stage of their journey as they moved up a year group. They met the teacher they will be learning with from September 2026. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to feel excited about the year ahead. The day was made ...even more special as pupils welcomed new classmates, quickly forming friendships and settling in together. There was a real sense of enthusiasm and excitement throughout the School. From creative self-portraits and imaginative marble run challenges to feeling the rhythm with Ms Taylor and enjoying some dramatic dressing up with our Head of Drama, Mr Edmeades. The children threw themselves into a range of activities. They also made the most of the sunshine with a game of Cricket, adding even more energy and teamwork to the day. We are so proud of how confidently and positively everyone embraced the day. What a fantastic start to the next chapter! #transitionday #surreyprepschool #September2026 #toloveistolive #bookham

Year 5 used the theory that they had learnt in Science relating to forces, the environment and properties of materials to design and make a wind powered boat. Today they were delighted to test them out on our School pool.
There were all very successful but now the girls are thinking about how... they can modify their vessels.
