Children had a great time and raised £2000 for Children in Need by throwing buckets of custard over five brave staff – Miss Roberts, Mr Marsh, Mr Keyworth, Mr Cooney and Mrs Birch. Other fund-raising activities included selling sausage sandwiches, hot chocolate and cakes. The custard-throwing even got the school onto the national BBC news in the evening plus regional Look North news twice!

Hill House pupils visited Robin Hood Airport (pictured right) to hear about the recently launched Draft ‘Masterplan’ which looks at the future for the airport until 2030.

Year 6 provided a most poignant Remembrance Day ceremony.  As the Senior guitars played to the congregated school,  Sophie Pepper opened proceedings by reading a thought provoking poem she had written. Year 6 processed into the hall accompanied by the Head Girl and Head Boy who laid a wreath at the memorial followed by the Year 6 house captains laying a wreath representing each house. The names of Hill House boys who had died in service were announced. The year group performed ‘In Flanders Field’ in a professional and polished manner befitting the occasion. Connor O’ Hara led the song  ‘Let there be Peace on Earth’.  A letter written by a 19 year writing home from a 2008 university was read in comparison to the 19 year old writing home from the trenches. The ceremony closed with the National Anthem and The Last Post.

The school fell silent and felt the emotion of the ceremony. Year 6 led it with grace and dignity. Thank you to the children and year 6 staff involved in this memorable Armistice Day.

All children and staff were involved in the first charity event of the year in aid of the Doncaster Scanner Appeal. Children and staff came to school dressed in sports gear. There were would-be racing drivers in the reception classes through to horse riders and golfing professionals at the senior end of the school. It was lovely to see so many staff take part, particularly the younger teachers in the Lower School, arriving in the morning ready for a Fame workout! Although the day was enjoyed by all, the most important aspect was raising money. Well done to the Duke of Edinburgh senior pupils who did a great job collecting and counting the money throughout the day. A massive thank you to everyone for their generosity which will be rewarded when we present a cheque to the Doncaster Scanner Appeal for the grand total of £1400.

Hill House shone out at a prestigious Regional Prep Schools Tournament at the weekend, hosted by Mount St. Mary's.
