The Chronicle

Our Stars of the Week this week are:

Congratulations to them all!

Keep an eye out in next week's Chronicle for more information about this term's House Art Competition!

Mrs Holmes is hard at work finalising details of this, and cannot wait to see all your amazing entries.

Junior 2 pupils went over to the Crackley Hall sports field for their PE and Games lessons today and enjoyed their first experience of learning about team sports out on the pitches.

This term, the children will have the opportunity to play Tag Rugby, Football and Hockey, and will work on developing their skills and game tactics. At the end of the term, children will compete in their houses in House competitions playing these sports.

It is unusual for Key Stage 1 children to have the chance to play team sports so this is a fantastic opportunity for these young pupils. Exciting times ahead!

Many congratulations to Junior 5 pupil, Felix, who performed at the Loft Theatre in Leamington Spa, over the summer holidays, in their Arts Insight Youth Theatre production of Game of Life: Your Future Edition. Felix played a principal part and despite being the youngest performer, took it all in his stride. The show ran for three nights and received great reviews.

Felix spent many hours rehearsing in the run up to the performances and made many friends with his fellow cast members. He absolutely loved the whole experience and is now very keen to audition for more shows.

A huge well done to Felix, what an amazing opportunity for you. We look forward to seeing your performing talents on our Crackley’s stage soon.

Princethorpe has a new Admissions Team gearing up to help families who are interested in entry to the College for September 2024 and beyond.

Catherine Rogers is our new Registrar, having been promoted to the role in July. Catherine will be a familiar face to many families, she has been a longstanding member of the Admissions Team and has a wealth of knowledge and experience of the Princethorpe admissions cycle. Joining her is new Assistant Registrar, Marie Holt, who is no stranger to the Foundation either, having previously worked as a receptionist at Crackley Hall School.

The friendly pair have plenty in common, not least their shared public service backgrounds; Catherine was a midwife in the NHS for 18 years and Marie a Warwickshire police officer for 25 years, with their calm, unflappable natures they are both well equipped to cope with the busy period ahead.

The last few weeks have seen the duo dealing with new Lower Sixth joiners post GCSE Results Day, and the Year 7 Activity Day along with arrangements to ensure a smooth start to term for the next generation of Princethorpians.

Comments Catherine, “We are really looking forward to our first Open Event together, which promises to be an exciting one as we will be welcoming visitors into the brand, new state-of-the-art Science Centre at our Open Afternoon on Sunday 17 September.”

To get in touch with Catherine and Marie, email admissions@princethorpe.co.uk or call 01926 634201/297, they will be happy to help.
