Visit to the ROH

April 18th, 2008

Last term 14 of our Grade 2 and 3 pupils were fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to visit the Royal Opera House and watch the Royal Ballet Company in their daily class. Big thank you to Rossie from the Education Department for inviting us, the girls loved it and were completely in awe!

Elephant Polo Tournament, Thailand 2008

April 18th, 2008

Miss Vanessa and Miss Claire have just returned from the annual Elephant Polo Tournament held at the Anantara Resort in Chiang Rai, Thailand. With just one previous season under their belts (Sri Lanka 2006) ‘The London Nellies’ bravely took on some of the world’s best players but had to eventually concede defeat finishing 12th out of 13 teams. However their distinctive team colours (pink and more pink) and winning smiles made them a hot favourite with the crowds!

Baby on the Way

June 19th, 2007

As is probably quite evident of late Miss Vanessa is expecting a baby! Catherine Moore, an ex-professional dancer and great friend of Miss Vanessa’s has kindly agreed to step in for her for the latter part of the Autumn Term when the burgeoning bulge and imminent arrival of he/she might hamper teaching somewhat! Catherine is coming all the way from her native South Africa to join us and is very much looking forward to meeting everyone in September. Miss Vanessa will be around for the first few weeks of term to introduce Catherine and get her settled in and is hoping to be back again in time for the start of the Spring Term (January 2008).
