Well done to our fantastic group of Year 4 pupils who took part in the Epsom College Cricket Festival on Friday 16th May! 🏏✨ They played four thrilling limited overs matches of ‘when you’re out, you’re out’ cricket—each one full of excitement, with every game going right down to the wire! A brilliant day of sport, teamwork and determination. \#whywelovehornsby #HeadHeartSpirit #HornsbySport #CricketFestival #IndependentSchool #Balham #London #Year4Sport #Teamwork #Sportsmanship @epsomcollege_sports

As an activity during their School Journey, Year 5 explored the trenches at Sanctuary Wood, then stepped into history at Talbot House with a powerful interactive tour led by a WWI soldier. After tea in the garden and a quiet moment of reflection, they returned to the hostel ahead of their final visit to hear the Last Post at Menin Gate. #whywelovehornsby #HeadHeartSpirit #SchoolJourney2025 #Balham #london #school #education #goodtimes #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #MeninGate #WWI

Reception have been counting their way up to success. They’ve tackled counting in twos and fives through a variety of fun, hands-on activities, turning maths into an numerical adventure.

A selection of images of another brilliant day in Belgium! Under clear blue skies, Year 5 explored the sights and stories that make this trip so special. Starting with a tour of the Jules Destrooper biscuit factory we discovered its rich history and enjoyed a delicious tasting session—definitely a highlight so far! 🍪 Then in the afternoon, we visited the Passchendaele Memorial Museum, deepening our understanding of WWI and taking time to reflect in the war gardens. In the evening, a much anticipated event: the Hornsby Ten Pin Tournament 2025! 🎳 #whywelovehornsby #HeadHeartSpirit #BelgiumTrip #SchoolJourney #MakingMemories #WW1History #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #AdventureAwaits

This morning our Learning Development team, led by Mrs Unwin, ran a coffee morning and information session for parents about supporting their children with attention and focus, plus how we at HHS can support them (and in turn they can support each other) through their child’s educational journey. Mrs Unwin and her team of specialist staff emphasised how important it is at HHS to maximise the support and encouragement that is central to our core values. Whether you’re part of our community already or looking to join, we’d love to welcome you in. Prospective parents—come and see what makes our school special.

This morning’s assembly was a real treat! Pupils were captivated by an engaging and inspiring talk from a professional nutritionist from our catering partner, Thomas Franks. With energy and enthusiasm, he explained how eating a colourful, balanced diet—full of fruit and vegetables—can boost both body and mind. A fantastic session that left us all thinking twice about what’s on our plates! #whywelovehornsby #HeadHeartSpirit #healthiswealth #health #wellness #education #school #london #balham @nappyvalleynet @balhamnewsie @goodschoolsguide @education_choices_magazine @independentschoolparent @schoolsshow @_thomasfranks

Safe and sound at Peace Village! Pupils got stuck in straight away—making their beds and setting up their rooms—before burning off some energy on the sports field. We were all really looking forward to our WW1 workshop later in the evening! #whywelovehornsby #headheartspirit #fun #makingmemories❤️ #friendstogether❤️ #school #london #balham

Head, heart & spirit (our core values) in action! In Computing this week, our Reception children have been developing their early coding skills — and their resilience too! Whether using simple programming apps or working through on-screen challenges, they’ve been learning to persevere when trying something new. It’s been wonderful to see the children experimenting, problem-solving and celebrating those “aha!” moments when their code finally works. A brilliant way to build confidence, independence and a growth mindset through technology! #headheartspirit #whywelovehornsby #london #balham #school #priamryschool #primaryeducation #eyfs #eyfsinspiration @balhamnewsie @nappyvalleynet @independentschoolparent @goodschoolsguide @education_choices_magazine

We are incredibly honoured and thrilled to have received a personal letter from Sir David Attenborough in response to Mrs Mansfield’s recent correspondence, sharing the inspiring work of our Eco Club. His kind words are a powerful encouragement to our pupils, who continue to take proactive steps to protect and enhance the environment—both within the HHS community and across our local area. What a truly special moment for our young environmental champions! #HHSCommunity #EcoClub #SirDavidAttenborough #SustainabilityInSchools #EcoChampions #BalhamLife #BalhamNews #BBCLondon #BBCLondonNews #ActNowForNature #LoveWhereYouLive #ClimateAction #GreenSchools #PupilPower @balhamnewsie @nappyvalleynet @education_choices_magazine @independentschoolparent @schoolsshow @u.k.independent_education @schoolguideuk @tatlerschools #london #whywelovehornsby #headheartspirit To find out more, follow us on socials or click on link in bio.

EYFS had a magical outing today as part of their People Who Help Us topic! They posted letters, met a postman who collected their letters from the postbox, helped sort the post at the local sorting office and saw how letters reach the right homes.
