Multi-award-winning author Kiran Millwood Hargrave visit
Students enjoyed an end of term treat when we were delighted to welcome the multi-award-winning author Kiran Millwood Hargrave to Royal High. Kiran has won, and been shortlisted for, many book awards including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and the British Book Awards Children's Book. Most recently in 2023 she was awarded the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing for Children for Leila and the Fox. Many of the students in years 5, 6 and 7 were already familiar with Kiran’s books and were very excited to hear about the latest book in her new Geomancer trilogy The Storm and the Sea Hawk. Â

Weekly Reflections: Self-improvement and Marginal Gains
Our Head, Ms Heidi-Jayne Boyes, reflects on the theme of the week. This week’s theme was ‘reflections’ so I talked about a book I read over the break Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? by Royal High Alumna, Harriet Beveridge and Ben Hunt-Davis MBE. Now I am interested in self-improvement and how marginal gains – those small, incremental 1% changes to the way we operate – help us to better ourselves, and, as learners for life, I feel we should all give time to consider how we can be that little bit better at some of what we do.
Weekly Reflections: One Love building a stronger community
This week I had the pleasure of addressing the whole of the senior school in assembly. I applauded the students for their contributions to school life over the last six weeks – it has been very busy with Chinese New Year celebrations and much sport, music and drama taking place – and thanked them, and colleagues, for all their support in helping me to feel so settled. I can’t believe I have only been here for six weeks; in the best way it feels longer.
