Dear Parents
I am sure that you will be as delighted as I am that Rosie Trevains,
who has been manning the Office for much of this term, has accept-
ed the full-time position of School Administrator. She will continue
part time until after half term but I know we have all appreciated her
cheerful manner and efficiency.
As a school we must take every health precaution and although this
seems a little unlikely to affect us, I should be grateful if you would
let me know if you—or anybody who lives with you— has visited Chi-
na. We have precautions in place should the country be hit by Novel
Coronavirus, and we have taken advice from the ISA and the Board-
ing Schools Association but, most important for us, is to know if
there is a chance that we might need to take precautions.
Wit so much unpredictable weather around at the moment, it would
be most helpful if you could check to see whether your child has
brought an extra coat home. Several coats are missing and the chil-
dren really need them to make the most of every opportunity to get
outside.
With best wishes
Hilary Mann

OPEN MORNING
You will soon see bus stop advertising telling the world that our Open Morning is on 29th February
from 09.30-12.30. We will also be distributing flyers, which we hope you will feel able to put in the
places your children visit. However, word of mouth is always our best advertising, so please spread the
word.
In order to let parents and children see what our school is really like, we need your children with us
for 09.15, in school uniform, ready to take part. As usual, we will give them lunch before they leave us
and they will be ready to be collected at 13.00.
It is always a boon to have current parents ready to talk to prospective parents on that day; if you are
available, please let the Office know. In the past we have had splendid donations of home-made cakes
and biscuits; if you are able to contribute, please let the Office know.
Here’s to a successful Open Morning!

Pre-prep are looking forward to a visit by Jamie’s Mum, Mrs Cochrane. She has
offered to come in with Jamie’s pet rats on Wednesday 29th January. She may
also bring in a baby snake. She is a vet and the children in Pre-prep will be given
the chance to meet the rats and listen to Mrs Cochrane talk about them. It will
be very informative and a great experience for the children.
I know that Jamie is very excited about it and we are sure the children will enjoy
the visit.
Thank you so much Mrs Cochrane for giving up tour time to do this for us.

Well done to our 7 runners who travelled to Haldon Forest Park, Exeter to com-
pete in the South West ISA trials. The weather was dry but the course was ra-
ther challenging due to poor visibility. All our competitors were stars on the
course and pushed themselves hard from beginning to end. Our top finishers on
the day were:
Pippa Alford 11th in the Y5/6 girls race
Daisy Hassell 2nd in the Y7/8 girls race
Daisy has qualified for the SW u14 girls team and we wish her luck for the ISA
Finals at Worksop College on Friday 20 March.

ISA netball Tournament
Polwhele yr 6,7 and 8 girls travelled to Trinity school for an ISA netball tourniment. Poppy Ste-
venson, Yasmine Lewis,Daisy Hassell, Jessica Pearce, Emily Cochrane, Gwenner Wood and
Elizabeth Headon all played incredibly well as we were against teams of year 8. Firstly we
played against Trinity. The results were 5-6 with a win to Trinity. Elizabeth scored 4 and Emily
scored 1. Daisy Hassell was player of the match. Next we played Kingsley- a tough team.
Elizabeth scored 3 and was player of the match and that left Kingsley with the win of 6 goals.
Finally we played St Joseph’s. And although the Polwhelers were tired, as we had no subsi-
tutes, we powered through and ended with the score 5-3 to St Josephs. Even though we did
not win our efforts and determination and overall netball skills were outstanding!
NEWS
We’ve been lucky to have a mild week of weather finally, with some lovely crisp
Winter mornings and lots of sunshine—perfect weather for hacking and enjoy-
ing our tranquil grounds.
On Monday all of the ponies had their teeth checked and rasped, and we were
lucky that most of them behaved very well and didn’t require sedation. Some
were not very keen to begin with, and surprisingly, Polly (usually the calmest of
patients) was particularly affronted, and showed her unwillingness by rearing in
defiance !
