Garden House Charity Cocktail Night

We hope to see many of you at our Garden House Cocktail Night on the evening of Thursday, 14th of May at the Royal Hospital Chelsea!!!

A gorgeous evening at the Great Hall of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, with cocktails, food, bagpipes, a DJ, and a live and silent auction featuring the most beautiful artwork made by our children and other wonderful gifts.

All funds raised will go to the Royal Hospital Chelsea and Honeypot Children's Charity, both of which the children have been learning about at school, so they truly feel a part of the event. I know this will be a magical evening and you really don't want to miss it!

Tickets can be purchased here:

Looking forward to seeing you!!

🏏 Cricket Raffle — Win a Day at The Oval!

Chelsea in Bloom Themed Cupcake Day

Our next Cupcake Day will take place on Friday 22nd of May - with a Chelsea in Bloom theme, also coinciding with the Chelsea Flower Show!

Years Baking:

Upper School I and II Girls and Boys

Children are kindly asked to:

• Bring in £1 donation (in support of our school charities)
• If in the baking year groups listed above, please bring 6 nut-free cupcakes

Important – Children with Allergies:

To ensure the full safety of children with allergies - and to make sure they receive a cupcake they are happy with - we kindly ask that parents provide a cupcake specifically for their child and hand it directly to the class teacher.

We feel this is the safest way to keep all children happy and risk-free.

Thank you so much for your support, and we look forward to a delicious (and very festive!) day! Some really cheesy flower puns from the committee on the side for LOL....!!!!

Tour de Kensington Family Bike Ride

It promises to be a wonderful community day out, so please do save the date! Further details will follow closer to the time, but in the meantime, please refer to the flyer above! xxx
