Xīnnián kuàilè! The Year of the Monkey started with a fantastic celebration at St Hilda’s, with the girls taking part in assemblies and activities to mark the occasion throughout the day. Many teachers incorporated the theme of Chinese New Year into their lessons, and the girls enjoyed a selection of delicious Chinese cuisine for lunch. They loved learning more about the culture and were fascinated by the story behind Chinese New Year.

St Hilda’s is a community of girls aged four to eleven years, whose infectious enthusiasm, politeness and busy purposefulness is immediately evident to visitors. The girls thrive in a caring yet challenging environment, which teaches them to be resilient and resourceful learners, and ultimately to be exceptionally well prepared to take their next step to the senior school of their choice.
Our youngest children aged 2-4 years are encouraged to play, explore and learn, under the watchful and inspiring care of specialist staff. Our packed programmes of teacher and child-led activities are especially designed to develop the whole child in ways appealing and appropriate to their current age and stage, including specialist teaching in subjects such as dance, music, swimming, PE, French and Spanish.
