Dear Parents, Rehearsals are apace, rooms are being tidied out, kids are really excited about their holidays, trips are returning (with very tired children and a lot of washing). I will say this tomorrow, but thank you for making me feel so welcome this year. It has been a year of growth and understanding for…
Dear Parents As the grass turns brown and the trips get ready to leave work carries on apace here. The Year 8s have been incredibly busy on their challenge week, I am not sure if they, or Mr Jeffries and Mr White were more excited about visiting nuclear races and the mud. We had a…
Dear parents, Another week rolls to a close. For many of our younger pupils their trip to Frinton will be the highlight of the term. Lots of fun was had through wave jumping with Mrs Maslen and Mrs Floodgate, or building huge sand constructions with George, Laura and Bryony (our shadows). The behaviour was beyond…
Dear Parents What a week! The sun shone, the ice cream van came, the prep pupils were amazing in their commitment to their sports day. Please can I apologise, again, to those of you who had hoped to enjoy seeing more than one of your children in action but couldn’t because of the pre-prep postponement….

Dear Parents, It has been great to enjoy our pupils’ continued successes this week. We thought the pupils could pull off a win at the Littlegarth competition against 16 other prep schools – and it was brilliant that they did so. Their problem solving was superb. Many thanks to Mrs Hayes for taking the team….
Dear Parents This week has been mental health awareness week and today has seen an assembly and tutorial sessions on maintaining positive mental health. Over this term two year groups will have had mindfulness training and we are keen to share this further. Bellevue has made a connection with the charity Young Minds and we…
Dear Parents, Farming Day on Tuesday was a massive success. The pupils came back ‘buzzing’ about what they had learnt – and hopefully having had their curiosity sparked and wonder ignited. We are a rural school and proud of our heritage – and are located in an amazing county that is full of such a…
Dear Parents One week down and we are very much back into the swing of things with new topics visible on whiteboards and on the new screen installed over the holidays. The School’s development plan proceeds apace. Parents from R to 4 will see the hard work of the pre-prep staff on the refreshed curriculum…
