At Hatherop Castle School, bravery is seen as a key life skill, cultivated through everyday experiences, strong relationships, and hands-on learning. Pupils are supported to try new things, make mistakes, and grow with confidence – whether that’s joining a team, performing in assembly, or tackling challenges in the outdoors. Through a warm, pastoral environment and a culture of encouragement, Hatherop pupils learn that true bravery lies not in being fearless, but in stepping forward with resilience and belief in themselves. These early lessons in courage lay the foundations for a confident, capable future.

To round off the Lent Term, pupils from Prep 6–8 enjoyed a week in Normandy, immersing themselves in French language and culture. From historical visits to Mont St Michel and WW2 memorials, to markets, lessons and treasure hunts, the trip offered a memorable blend of fun, learning and reflection.

Despite illness setbacks, Hatherop’s Addams Family production wowed audiences with its talent, dedication, and eerie charm. The pupils’ perseverance and teamwork ensured a spectacular final performance, earning rapturous applause and admiration.
