Wow-what a week!  We are really lucky this year to have been able to continue with plans for Personal Skills week for Year 6 students – a two week skills-based extravaganza where staff organise a skill to share with the girls, a passion to impart or an activity they just enjoy doing.

Activities have been wide ranging, from DIY to knitting, taking part in a Confidence Kids workshop, or learning Irish dancing to sessions with the Samba band (which we are sure could be heard throughout Northwood!). It has been a great week enabling staff to inspire girls to try new hobbies and interests such as photography and baking.  Each day there has been a new and exciting activity for the girls to experience culminating in a night camping under canvas on the school grounds.  Overnight camping was great fun even though no one slept (!) including staff.
