The Good Schools Guide Awards
January 22, 2012
Congratulations are due to our Biology Department who achieved a Good Schools’ Guide award for the best GCSE results achieved by an independent school in 2011. This follows on from their award last year for the best AS results! All three sciences are very popular at Pitsford, due in part to the fact that we teach separate sciences from the age of 11, and that these are all taught by specialist staff. Each year well over half of all our Sixth Form pupils study A levels in one or more of the sciences, with many going on to study science or mathematics based degrees in the UK’s most prestigious universities.

GCSE Art Exhibition
July 2, 2011
If you haven’t already visited the exhibition of GCSE Art in Pitsford Hall you are missing out on seeing some amazing work. Here is just a selection of some of the work on show. Also displayed in the Hall is work from our A level and AS level artists which is also of an excellent standard. The display is now dismantled but see the foot of this post for a slide show of the final pieces and selection of coursework items. Not all pieces are shown but I think we have at least one item from every candidate. The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed.. var Read More →

Return to the Forbidden Planet
March 26, 2011
This year’s musical was “Return to the Forbidden Planet”, and the final performance was last Friday. What a great show it was too! Curtis Hodgson as Doctor Prospero was outstanding, the singing was superb (as always), and the dancing was enthusiastically energetic. The script was littered with puns from the great Bard’s works, such as “Beware the Ids that march”, “Is this a monster that I see before me?” and my favourite, “Two beeps, or not two beeps”! Those who had studied Shakespeare would have recognised many more in a script written in his style Read More →

Sixth Formers make it to Morocco!
February 26, 2010
Pupils in the Sixth Form escaped from the snow in February and headed to the bustling city of Marrakech and the baron desert of Morocco. At the start of the trip the pupils stayed in a hotel opposite the Mosque and were given an early wake up call by the prayer calls at 5.30am! The pupils had a chance to shop in the famous colourful markets in the capital of Morocco and visited the beautiful Yves St Laurent gardens before commencing on their five day trek through the desert! The pupils pitched their own tents at the end of each day trekking through the Moroccan Sahara in a traditional camel caravan. Read More →
Exam Results
FT Top 1000 Schools
March 23, 2010
Just in case you were wondering where we were in the Financial Tines Top 1000 Schools yesterday, we were not included because last year, we did not have 20 or more candidates taking A level examinations. However, you can use our results data to work out where we would have come had we been included. The two key indicators were 827 points/candidate and 250 points/entry, comparing these to schools listed would put us at about 50th place. But what about those other schools with less than 20 candidates? If you remember we were 4th best ‘small’ school in the country according to Read More →

The Footman Diaries
October 22, 2011
In May 2008 I was lent a diary of one Arthur Collins, a footman employed by Capt. Drummond at Pitsford Hall. Monday 2 March 1931: “all hunting, HRH D & Dss here for tea” Duke and Duchess of York? Monday 23 March 1931: “HRH for tea” Tuesday 31 March 1931: “Princess E & M for tea”. Saturday 4 April 1931: “Duke & Duchess of York, Princesses E & M for tea, Lowthers for tea”. The Lowthers I assume are Col John Lowther and family from Guilsborough Court, where the royal family tended to stay when in the area for Read More →

Junior School pupils have, until now, only viewed the building works through cut out peep holes in the fence surrounding the site. This week, though, they were given a guided tour inside the new building and were able to see their new classrooms, their new gym, library, art room and music room! Mr Bellamy explained Read More →
