#throwbackthursday What an exhilarating day we had stepping into the shoes of 18th-century Highwaymen! Year 6 dove into the world of Alfred Noyes' captivating poem, 'The Highwayman', with enthusiasm and creativity. As Noyes wrote, "The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas," and our pupils truly felt the thrill of the era. A heartfelt thank you to @timecapsuleed for making history come alive and sparking our pupils' imaginations through such a high-quality educational experience. #maidenheadschools #StPiransEnglish #StPiransYear6

Today is a very special day. Today is Good Friday. Our school chapel is undecorated and silent this morning as we quietly contemplate Christ's sacrifice and the importance of forgiveness. But did you know that Good used to mean Holy, as in the Good Book and Good Wednesday. This is why today is called Good Friday. It's a very Holy day. #easter #chapel #church #goodfriday #maidenhead #holyweek

Here's a question for the parents. What do the letters EGLL have to do with this photo? It's a little bit cryptic! What is clear though is the excitement of the team as our twelfth South African exchange departs tonight! Lots of planning and hard work behind the scenes, in two countries, have led to this moment. We can't wait to hear all about it. Particular thanks to Mrs Earp and Mrs Richmond for their support over the next two weeks and Mr Robinson for his planning. We're looking forward to our postcard
