The whole school celebrated their love of reading by dressing up as their favourite character for World Book Day. Each class (and many of the staff) had a chance to show off their fabulous costumes and share their favourite books on our WBD catwalk. It was clear from the excitement in the hall that everyone at the Ursuline Prep is as passionate as ever about reading and gains a great deal of pleasure from the daily reading opportunities that take place. A huge thank you to the parents for providing the costumes and continuing to support events such as these, [...]

The children braved the cold and windy airfield of Duxford to learn about the History of Flight as part of their History topic. They went to British Airspace and explored Concorde, walked through the Comet and found out about passenger planes. We saw a piece of cloth which was taken from the Wright flier and sequenced the ages of different planes. They also went to the American Hanger and found out about planes such as the B52 Bomber and the Blackbird spy plane. The children were complimented on their excellent behaviour and organisational skills! [...]

Lower One visited The Ragged School Museum on Tuesday as part of their history work on The Victorians. They experienced what it would have been like to be living in poor London and attending the first free school for ‘ragged’ children. They were shown some of the punishments such as the back straightener and the finger stokes, as well as practicing their arithmetic, poems, money, alphabet and vocal drills. In the afternoon, they then went into a ‘Victorian home’ experience where they got to look at everyday items such as water bottles, mangles, dollies (the Victorian washing machine), irons, hairbrushes and lots more. They had a great [...]

We had no less than three teams from our school participating in the District Netball tournament, hosted by us on Wednesday 4th March 2026 .

Our three teams were exceptional with one placing 3rd overall and another team winning the whole tournament. This is such an amazing achievement and a testament to all of the girls hard work but also all of the staff that work tirelessly to push all of the [...]

On Saturday 28th February, children who came through the regional round, participated in the National Cross Country Final, which were held in Himley Hall Park, Dudley, Birmingham. All of the children performed exceptionally well, competing against very strong opponents.

Their attitude has been outstanding and they were a real credit, not only to themselves but also to our school. [...]
