Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their first residential at Flatford Mill, throwing themselves into every activity with great enthusiasm!

They worked brilliantly in teams to build dens, creating shelters. They did a Twilight walk whereby they worked together and listening carefully and followed instructions and used their sense to explore their surroundings.

They also displayed fantastic teamwork during compass orientateering using a map and compass to navigate around Flatford Mill.

The trip ended with singing dings and drinking hot chocolate and making smores around the campfire l. The children cratered wonderful memories and had a fabulous time! ✨🏕️🌿🌳

The ISEB and IAPS Time to Write 2026 competition attracts over 3,000 entries from young writers around the world. The competition celebrates creativity, imagination and excellence in storytelling, with entries judged on their use of language, character, structure and originality. We are delighted to celebrate Ayla, the runner-up in the Years 5–6 category for her outstanding story, The Thread at the Bottom of the Box. Ayla’s story inspired an illustrated concept page designed by a student from the Arts University, Bournemouth.🌟

🍦❤️ A well-earned treat for Team Hyde! 🌳🎉

Last Friday, we celebrated our fantastic Hyde House with a special trip to Kensington Memorial Park, where the children enjoyed an afternoon of adventure, laughter and, of course, ice cream! 🌞🛝🍨

From racing around the playground to sharing smiles with friends, it was wonderful to see everyone making the most of their well-deserved reward. There may have been a few messy hands and chocolatey faces along the way… but that only added to the fun! 😄🤎🍦

At Bassett House, our House system is all about teamwork, kindness and giving your best, and Hyde have certainly done just that. A huge congratulations to everyone involved — you’ve earned it! 🏆💫💚

🎙️📻 Lights, microphone, action!

Year 6 swapped the classroom for the studio today as they headed to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to record a live radio show 🎧✨

Stepping behind the microphone, the pupils experienced the exciting world of broadcasting firsthand, developing their confidence, communication skills and teamwork while creating content for a real audience 🎤🌟

From presenting and interviewing to learning how a professional radio station operates, it was an inspiring opportunity to explore a different side of media and discover the power of using their voices to inform, entertain and connect with others 🎚️💬

We can’t wait to hear the finished result — watch this space! 🚀🎶

On the last day of the half term, Year 2 took to the stage for their delightful production of The Pied Piper, bringing the classic tale to life with confidence, enthusiasm and plenty of personality 🌟

From learning lines and songs to perfecting their performances, the children worked incredibly hard and should be so proud of what they achieved. Their energy, teamwork and sense of fun shone through from start to finish, keeping the audience thoroughly entertained 👏😊

A huge well done to all of our talented performers and thank you to the staff and families who helped make the production such a memorable occasion. What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of a busy and successful half term! 🎬🎉🌈

🌍🎉 Around the world in a day at Bassett House! ✈️🌎

Today, our halls were filled with colour, culture, creativity and curiosity as pupils came together for our International Fair 🌺🍜🎭

From Mexico to Australia, Japan to Cuba, children proudly showcased different countries through delicious food, fascinating facts, traditional dress and beautifully crafted artefacts 🌮🗾🎨

The effort and enthusiasm on display was incredible, with every stand reflecting the children’s growing understanding and appreciation of the diverse world around them 🌈🤝

It was wonderful to see everyone so engaged, asking questions, sharing stories and celebrating what makes each culture unique 💬🌟

At Bassett House, nurturing awareness, respect and appreciation for others is a huge part of who we are — and today was a brilliant reminder of the joy that comes from learning about one another ❤️🌍

⚖️📜 Year 6 enjoyed a fascinating visit to the Supreme Court this week, where they learned all about the role of the UK’s highest court within the justice system. From stepping inside the impressive courtroom to discovering how important decisions are made, the experience brought their learning to life in such an engaging way. 🇬🇧🏛️

The children also spotted the iconic Peter Blake artwork and proudly stood beside the nation they felt best represented them 🌍✨ They were especially excited to find an English translation of the Magna Carta and explore the history behind one of the world’s most influential legal documents 📖👑

After a morning full of discovery, the children enjoyed some well-deserved downtime in St James’s Park, making the most of the sunshine and beautiful surroundings 🌳🦆☀️

🎭 A celebration of friendship, culture, and confidence in Year 3 🌍

This morning, our Year 3 pupils took to the stage for their class assembly and delivered a performance full of energy, pride, and personality 🌟

With great confidence, the children shared stories about where they come from, celebrating the rich mix of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences that make our school community so special.

The assembly was filled with lively performances, thoughtful moments, and plenty of humour too — with the children’s brilliant comic timing and playful spirit keeping the audience smiling from beginning to end 😄👏

Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it was clear just how much effort, teamwork, and courage had gone into preparing such a memorable performance. From learning lines and practising together to supporting one another on stage, every child played an important part in making the morning such a success.

Opportunities like these are such an important part of school life, allowing children to build confidence, find their voice, and celebrate what makes each of them unique 🎤🌎

A huge well done to Year 3 for such a joyful and heartfelt assembly — we were so proud to watch them shine 🌈

✨ A joyful morning at Bassett House School ✨

Today, we were delighted to welcome so many wonderful families to our Nursery Stay & Play session, a special opportunity for children and parents to experience the warmth, care, and sense of community that sits at the heart of life at Bassett House School 💙

As part of our Nursery offering, children are able to join us from the age of two, and sessions like these are such a lovely way for families to begin imagining what those first steps into school life could look like.

Throughout the morning, the children explored, played, discovered, and settled into their surroundings so naturally while parents spent time chatting with our teachers and Head of Early Years, asking questions, getting to know our approach, and seeing first-hand the nurturing environment we create for every child.
Whether families are already enrolled, still considering their next steps, or simply beginning to explore options, these sessions offer a meaningful glimpse into the earliest stages of the Bassett House journey - where confidence is gently built, curiosity is encouraged, and a genuine love of learning begins to grow.

There is something very special about watching young children begin to feel safe, happy, and excited in a new environment, and we loved sharing that experience with everyone who joined us today.

Due to the wonderful response to today’s event, we are now welcoming bookings for our next Stay & Play session for Reception-aged children on Monday 18th May at 10am.

Families will have the opportunity to meet our Early Years team, explore the environment, and experience the nurturing, curiosity-led approach that makes Bassett House so special. Spaces are now limited, and we encourage families to book soon to avoid missing out.

To reserve one of the final places, please visit our website to secure your place. 💙
