National Storytelling Week 2019

Posted: 29th January 2019

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go. Dr Seuss

This week pupils and teachers at Highclare Preparatory School are shining a light on their love for reading by  joining thousands of children across the UK and taking part in National Storytelling Week.

Across the Pre-Prep and Prep school Highclare teachers have lots of fun activities planned throughout the week to inspire children to enjoy the art of storytelling and share the pleasure of retelling, listening and reading of stories.

At Highclare storytelling is an important skill which is encouraged from Pre-Prep through to Sixth Form, it  equips children with the independence to extend their vocabulary and knowledge, improve communication skills and provides endless opportunities to empower children to tell their own stories.

We would love to know what your favourite story is, or even read an original story written by a Highclare pupil.

GCSE Results

This year Highclare students have once again produced outstanding GCSE results.  Nearly one third of all grades were at the highest level of 7 and above and our overall pass rate was 92%, all of which are significantly above the national figures of 22% and 68% respectively.

Half of all grades were 6 and above and 98% of our full-time students achieved 5 of more GCSE passes. Having scored particularly excellent grades in Science and Maths, we are welcoming 4 students onto our Pre-Med scholarship program, designed to support students with medicine-related university applications.

Nearly 10% of our cohort have achieved 8 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 7 or above (or 35% achieved 7 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 6 or above).
