Dear Parents and girls
I am quite sure that the girls had a wonderful, exciting and probably tiring Christmas holiday period judging by the energy levels evident in assembly on Thursday. I am sure that they will be back into normal routines by Monday and be in good form after this ‘warm-up 2 day week’. We are very excited to have our first two year olds in Nursery and there were 13 new girls added to our registers including Alexa who just turned 2 in November and is therefore the youngest ever pupil in the history of Northampton High School. All of the new Nursery girls are settling in extremely well along with the new joiners in Junior School- Odelia in Year 3, Isabelle in Year 4 and Gemma in Year 5.
Mrs Fordham is busy at the start of term as she leads an exciting debating outreach venture. Having received funding from HSBC we are working alongside ‘Noisy Classrooms’ an organisation who specialise in the use of debating to encourage and stimulate intellectual growth. Mrs Fordham will accompany our tutor to Harpole Primary, Abington Primary and Preston Hedges Primary to lead sessions for Year 6 girls. Our Year 6 girls will also receive a day of debating coaching and the project culminates on January 19 when all 4 schools will come together in our Senior Hall to put their new found debating confidence into action.
The topic of my assembly this week was- How to make 2018 a great year. I provided the girls with some inspirational quotes on various themes, such as: Have a passion to be great, Whatever you can dream, An important trip, Shake off your mistakes, Don’t waste time, We must believe and Let us begin. Every single girl in our school will progress and develop in a multitude of ways in 2018 and I am sure that most of the older girls will have set themselves really sensible and achievable goals and know that they have the confidence and resilience to achieve them. A Happy New Year to you all!
Ross Urquhart, Head of Junior School

- There will be no Debating Club on Thursday 18 January due to Year 6 visit to ‘The Snowman’ at Milton Keynes Theatre.
