Maida Vale School

Today, we celebrated National Thank a Teacher Day by sharing a little gratitude with the people who make a big difference every day. 💙✨🍎
Our students created beautiful handmade ‘appreciation’ folders, each filled with heartfelt, personal messages for their favourite teachers, thanking them for all the support, encouragement, and guidance they’ve given throughout the academic year. 💌
A huge THANK YOU to all our amazing teachers for the passion, dedication, and care you bring to our school community every day! 🌟💙📚🍎

Happy Birthday, Sir David! 🥳
To celebrate a century of inspiration, the students at Maida Vale School traded their textbooks for whisks to honor Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday! 🎂✨
Our community came together for a massive bake sale, raising vital funds for the World Land Trust. From cupcake to show-stopping treats, every bite helped support the habitats Sir David has spent his life protecting. 🦁🌍
Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough! Thank you for teaching us to love and protect our blue planet. 🌏💙

🌍✈️ Geneva 2026 – what a trip!
As part of our ‘MVS Cultural Capital Day’ celebrations, our Sixth Form Science & Politics students headed to Geneva for 3 unforgettable days of exploration, discovery, and inspiration.
From stepping inside world-leading institutions to experiencing the beauty of the city, students immersed themselves in a range of future career pathways through hands-on, interactive experiences. Highlights included visits to CERN, the United Nations, the Red Cross Museum, the Museum of Science History, and the Botanic Gardens 🌿
We also took in the stunning views on a boat trip across Lake Geneva 🚤 and enjoyed time exploring the city (with plenty of French practice along the way 🇫🇷).
A flight delay even turned into an unexpected opportunity—students got a behind-the-scenes look at the cockpit and a chance to chat with the pilot about life in the skies 👨‍✈️
A huge well done to our Sixth Form Geneva Committee, who helped bring this trip to life from the very beginning and led the group brilliantly throughout the 3 days 👏
🎥 Very special thanks to Devan for helping create this fantastic video diary of the trip!

The MVS Spring Concert was an incredible celebration of music across the school — full of energy, talent, and unforgettable moments. 🎶✨
From the very first notes, the choir set the tone with Here Comes the Sun ☀️, perfectly welcoming the season, alongside a beautiful solo from Karolina L. The stage then came alive with an amazing mix of styles — from the confident Year 11 bands taking on Sultans of Swing and Hendrix, to Year 10’s Radiohead set, and a punchy Year 8 performance of Someday.
We also loved the quieter, more intimate moments — stunning solos from Lavinia C, Simona, and Dylan N, plus a standout piano duet from Katya and Clementine 🎹
A truly special highlight was the Billie Eilish arrangement for flute, piano, and violin (featured in this video), performed so beautifully by Jay A, Dylan N, and Emilia S. 💫
And of course, the night wouldn’t be complete without our rock band, with Chloe bringing incredible energy to close both halves 🔥
So proud of everyone involved — what a showcase of the talent and creativity thriving in our school! 💛

Happy Easter from everyone at Maida Vale School! 🐰🐣🎉

🎄✨ TREE-MENDOUS TEAMWORK! ✨🎄
Four of our brilliant Year 7 stars jumped at the chance to decorate the MVS Christmas tree… and wow, did they deliver 😍👏 Safe to say, we’ve got some future interior designers in the making 💫
 
And what’s a Christmas tree without a soundtrack? The Maida Vale School Choir provided the musical accompaniment and festive feels with a stirring rendition of ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ – parents can see them in action next week at the MVS Christmas Concert at St John’s in Notting Hill! 🎶🎤🌟
 
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… 🎄 🎅 ❤️✨
