Christmas trees are not the only trees we are cele

Christmas trees are not the only trees we are celebrating week. Miss Frazer and teams of student/staff helpers have been busy planting hundreds of saplings around the school fields. A message from Miss Frazer ‘'Students, staff and parents have been working hard this week getting some of our 420 sapling trees planted, in spite of the storms, wind and rain! It has been fantastic to see so many students working on this project, and we can't wait to see how the landscape changes for our school over the next few years'

The trees are part of our pledge to sequester carbon and create greater biodiversity in the local area. More to follow @planetshaftesbury

Literacy via VR (Virtual Reality) today in the future classroom, engaging hearts and minds.

Students worked in pairs. Student A was immersed in a virtual ecosystem and had to describe to student B what they could see and hear. Student B had to write a creative account as it evolved. 100% engagement and high quality creative writing, working with @shaftesburyenglish @redboxvr

Another one of the school community’s favourite

Another one of the school community’s favourite Shaftesbury places is Gold Hill, nominated by Christine E. 😊

Described as one of the most “romantic sights in England”, Gold hill is a beautiful part of Shaftesbury filled with many walks in the area and stunning views covering the Melbury Hills and beyond! 🌲

If you’re looking for a new place to visit then why not head on down this week and explore it for yourself! 🤗

Our international boarders speak a whole range of different languages...

Part of the way we help support and welcome them to our school is through offering additional support within the boarding house and the school. 🇫🇷 Une partie de la façon dont nous aidons à les soutenir et à les accueillir dans notre école est d'offrir un soutien supplémentaire dedans l'internat et l'école.

It’s important to us that our international students feel completely at home while they’re with us. 🇮🇳 liye ye bohot important hai ki hamare international students jab yaha hai toh unhe ghar jaisa feel ho.

That’s why we offer all sorts of opportunities for them to develop their English through private tuition, discussion groups, group prep-sessions, 1-1 support, and much more! 🇨🇳 这就是为什么我们为他们提供各种各样的活动，例如个别辅导，分组讨论，小组预习，一对一个性化服务等，让他们能有机会来提升英语水平.

Our STEAM ambassadors in action again yesterday working with space experts Martin and Roger on the problem of Space Debris.

Head over to our story to see some action clips of the MEO and LEO satellite simulations.

Our experts joined us virtually whilst our ambassadors engaged in person in the future classroom. 11 new students were invited to join the workshop. If STEAM is of interest to you keep an eye out for future opportunities. #stemeducation #stem #innovation @nasa @nasaearth @spacegovuk

Military families can face unique pressures and stresses, with parents away for extended periods often in challenging and dangerous environments.

State boarding offers affordable consistency and continuity, whilst providing effective support for their academic progress and their emotional and social well-being not just within the school day, but around the clock. 🤗

We offer a 10% military discount for military families, so get in touch if you think state boarding can support your family!

Launched today - Best decorated Christmas tree com

Launched today - Best decorated Christmas tree comp is live for students. Check your emails. Entry via uploads to link only.

The Christmas tree symbolises several important aspects of the Christmas holiday, including the following:

The giving spirit and exchange of present

Embracing nature and its role in the changing seasons

Eternal life

Embracing the traditions of the holiday

Depending on your background, the lights on your Christmas tree may represent the light of God's spirit, the importance of enlightenment or knowledge, or the warmth of family love.

We will be judging the best ones and sending out presents to the winners.

There are lots of things to do in Shaftesbury that keep our boarders entertained and one of these is Shaftesbury’s own TLW dance company. 🩰

We encourage our boarders to take part in extracurricular activities and dance is a great way for students to blow off steam, all while working on bettering themselves. TLW offers all sorts of classes for every age and ability, with more recreational options providing the perfect balance for our boarders.

Weekly boarding is a great way to experience the boarding life while still being able to go home on the weekends, meaning you can experience the community of boarding, and the comforts of being at home in an affordable way! 🤗

Not to mention it gives you the opportunity to take part in all the boarding activities planned with your friends, from sporting events and shopping trips, to BBQ's and bonfires! 🛍 ⚽️ 🔥

Despite being a boarding school, we always give our students the freedom they need to be themselves. Whether that’s through having their friends occasionally come and visit, exploring the surrounding area, or going on trips to fun places like the beach or shopping.

The boarders often like to do their own thing separate from our planned activities and we encourage them to do just that during their individual downtime, offering support as and when they need it.
