Terrington Hall School

With so many children out and about this week it was Alex and Arlo who were given the honour of harvesting the first radishes and lettuces grown in our Hortus enrichment sessions. Various children have cleared, set up and planted the raised beds and we are thrilled they are starting to see the fruits of their labour. Mrs Hyde would like a special mention to go to Arwen who is off-site this week, for her superb weeding efforts which are allowing the plants the thrive.

Today Teddy brought in 12, very hungry caterpillars for Pre-School to enjoy. They will be watched very carefully for signs they are changing into a butterfly before being released into the Howardian Hills! Thank you for sharing Teddy and we look forward to seeing what happens next!

This Summer Term, 23 students from Year 2 to Year 8 took Trinity exams in Speech & Drama and Acting, performing a wide range of pieces, from Verse Speaking and Expressive Reading to Acting, Devised Drama and even Mime! They all worked very hard, rehearsing their scenes and reflecting on their work before taking the exams at our Private Centre on 16th and 17th May. Huge congratulations to everyone who took part - your effort and dedication paid off with some excellent exam results!

A midweek check in from our intrepid Year 7 and 8 children who are having a tremendous time in France and Spain. They have all bounced back from their early starts and long journeys, spent time in and on the water in boats, kayaks and snorkelling and jumping in. A fantastic few days with yet more to come!

Year 4 led our Assembly this morning and took us through what they had learnt this year, both in and out of the classroom. From their favourite cross curricular topics, school trip highlights (ice cream in Whitby with Reception being a firm favourite) and some funny anecdotes along the way, each member of the class stood up and spoke clearly and confidently, leaving us in no doubt that they are very much ready to bravely take on the challenges in their residential later this week! They finished off with a performance of Pink Pony Club! Accompanied by Mabel on the piano, this was debuted as a surprise encore at the recital on Friday night and was enjoyed just as much this morning as it was then. What a fantastic year you have had Year 4!

This summer’s Complete Sport courses at Terrington Hall are designed to give younger children the confidence, skills and enjoyment that underpin a lifelong love of sport. Through a carousel of activities, children aged 5-13 experience a wide range of sports and challenges, developing coordination, teamwork and resilience in a supportive, fun environment. With expert coaching, plenty of variety and the option of a residential experience, it’s an ideal introduction to both sport and independence.

An unforgettable experience – where the adventure (and learning) continues 24/7.

Course dates 20-24 July and 27-31 July 2026.

Join our Stay and Play on Friday 12th June, aimed at Reception 26 starters and Pre-School children. For details see the link in our bio.

Adventure, discovery, and creativity filled our Prep-Prep Forest School day. From cooking delicious Quesadillas over the campfire to exploring the woodland and crafting with natural materials, the children have had a wonderful time together embracing the outdoors. A fantastic day spent building skills, confidence and a love of the outdoors.

Mud, maps, meandering rivers and mugs of hot chocolate to recover!

Years 3 and 5 have embraced every challenge on their residential so far, from ghyll scrambling and rock climbing to orienteering and fire making. They have shown incredible resilience, teamwork and determination, while making unforgettable memories (and year 3 enjoyed some delicious toasted marshmallows!). Experiences like these help build confidence, independence and friendships that last long after the adventure is over. Here’s to another successful couple of days to come!
