EDUCATION 

Boarding and Day School for girls 11 to 18 

STRONGER TOGETHER 

EDUCATION 

DISPATCHES FROM THE 

SCHOOL TOUCHLINE 

by Rebecca Chatterton 

Our strong pastoral system fosters positive relationships and promotes an ethos that 

values our girls as individuals while nurturing a deep sense of community. 

www.sherborne.com 

Teddies: working 

in partnership with 

our prep schools 

The school touchline is a sociable place 

where parents huddle together making 

introductions and putting names to faces. 

No child’s superb try or glorious catch is 

left unnoticed – a hasty briefing by fellow 

spectators guarantees that 

even the parent looking 

in the wrong way is able 

to offer enthusiastic 

congratulations to their 

offspring later. 

As three mothers with 

nine sports-mad boys 

between us, we can’t 

count the hours spent 

supporting our offspring. 

During the cricket season 

a few years ago, we discussed the fact that 

our children’s obsession with their sports 

didn’t end with the day’s play. If we wanted 

to be part of the banter we realised we should 

learn more about the sports that they loved. 

It also dawned on us that watching games 

would be much more enjoyable if we actually 

understood them! 

The idea for our ‘Mothers’ Translations’ 

started to take shape. It was summer so we 

immersed ourselves in the peculiarities of 

cricket. As we swallowed 

the ‘Laws’ we decided 

we didn’t want to be 

the only ones with post 

game opinions round the 

tea urn so we produced 

“Stumped by Cricket” 

our first book. Filled 

with easily understood 

explanations and lots of 

pretty illustrations, it is 

now nearly 2 years old. 

The excitement of the Rugby World Cup is 

still palpable in our families, so we’ve turned 

our attentions to rugby. Since researching 

‘Rugby Tackled’ we’re holding our own on the 

touchline this season. Perhaps with our book 

to hand, you could too.

FASHION 

BESPOKE 

JEWELLERY 

From 

Robinson Pelham 

FASHION 

Jewellery should be full of 

emotion and beauty, and while 

you can buy beauty off the peg it is 

more difficult to buy emotion. 

Jewellers have short cuts for including 

emotions and loved ones into pieces of 

jewellery like birthstones and 

zodiacs and these can be endlessly 

used in subtle or obvious ways to 

represent different moments and 

people in pieces of Jewellery. There 

can be awkward moments when 

someone commissions a jewel and 

realises that his eldest child is born 

in November and has Topaz as 

his birthstone whereas his twins, 

born in April, both have diamond 

as their birthstone. As jewellers 

we have to play around with these 

combinations and disparities so 

that a piece of jewellery maintains 

its beauty and also holds as much 

emotion as possible. It is also key 

not to make one child look more important 

than any of the others, it can be a highly 

political design process. 

Previous commissions have included this 

amazing Egg pendant. The egg itself is a 

symbol of fertility, and set into the front of the 

egg are the four birthstones of the children. 

The back of the egg is set with the overlapping 

diamond constellations of the four children. 

And yet when worn it is just a beautiful piece 

of jewellery. 

Diamond set Constellations are a 

surprisingly subtle way of representing 

someone in a jewel, they can look quite 

abstract, but you can extrapolate the abstract 

nature of the jewel as far as you want to 

go. This Ludo ring is set with a piece of 

crystalline Crysoccola that was 

by chance the shape of Sri Lanka, 

the honeymoon destination, and 

the child’s initial is built into the 

shank of the ring, and yet without 

the background information it is 

just a stunning piece of modern 

jewellery. 

If the abstract approach doesn’t 

chime with your taste then the 

classic and more simple approach 

is the way forward. Echoing 

the 18th century passion for 

silhouettes, and yet making them 

wearable, you can have the profile 

of a child made from a sheet of 

gold or silver and worn around 

the neck or wrist. However the easiest way 

to make a parent cry good tears is to give 

them a piece of jewellery with their family’s 

names engraved in their own handwriting. 

Handwritten engraving remains the simplest 

and most effective way of personalising a 

jewel, redolent of love letters, Christmas cards 

and all those treasures that get lost, and yet 

made permanent in gold or silver.

Tarragon pancakes with 

horseradish-mustard cream, 

smoked salmon & dill 

Makes 60 canapes 

PANCAKES 

170g/6oz self-raising flour 

½ tsp baking powder 

1 egg 

1TBS caster sugar 

200ml/ 7fl oz milk 

A handful of chopped tarragon 

HORSERADISH-MUSTARD CREAM 

300ml tub of sour cream 

6tsp horseradish sauce 

3tsp wholegrain mustard 

225g/8oz smoked salmon 

Dill sprigs 

1. Put the flour, baking powder, egg, sugar 

and milk in a magimix and whizz until 

smooth. Pour into a bowl and stir in the 

chopped tarragon. 

2. If you haven’t got a magimx, sift the flour 

and baking powder into a bowl, make a well 

in the centre, add the egg and half of the milk, 

beat to a batter. Add the remaining milk 

gradually, stirring until lump-free, then add 

the chopped tarragon and some seasoning. 

3. Lightly oil the simmering plate of the Aga 

or a frying pan. The oil should be just hazy. 

Wipe any excess oil away with kitchen paper. 

4. Drop the mixture on in teaspoons, spacing 

them well apart. When bubbles rise to the 

surface and the pancakes look dry on top, 

flip over with a palette knife and cook on the 

other side for a further 30 seconds or so until 

golden brown and cooked through. Lift off 

and place on a plate. 

5. Mix the sour cream, horseradish sauce and 

wholegrain mustard together. Season. 

6. When the pancakes have cooled, top with 

the horseradish–mustard cream, a swirl of 

smoked salmon and a sprig of dill. Serve.

There is nothing like a skiing holiday! 

There is something for everyone in the snow. 

The exercise and fun gives a healthy glow to 

even the most pallid cheeks and replaces the 

ever present lure of the iPad. 

However, as a parent, one can often feel a 

ski holiday is more of a marathon than a rest. 

Just deciding where to go can seem a daunting 

task. The biggest question, especially at 

Easter, is will there be enough snow? Don’t be 

fixated by the height of the resort but look at 

the snow record, which is much more reliable. 

For children a small resort offers the chance to 

be a bit more independent. For teenagers it’s 

important to have a couple of bars where they 

can meet friends. Whilst the big name resorts 

have great boasting potential they can often 

have too much apres ski on offer! Consider 

options beyond the bars – is there sledging, 

floodlit ice-skating, a swimming pool? 

The biggest challenge with a ski holiday is 

trying to keep everyone happy. For children 

the most important thing is to make it FUN. 

This usually involves being with other children 

to joke on the chairlift and compete to make 

the world’s best snowman. Also bear in 

mind that children need to speak a common 

language to find a partner in crime or fellow 

snowball fighter. It’s miserable being the 

only English speaking child in a class full of 

Germans! 

Naturally, it’s important for children to be 

taught well and unless the teacher inspires 

them and makes it fun, they tend to want 

to ski with their parents. Great though 

that might be, they won’t necessarily make 

progress. Synchronised skiing competitions 

and slalom training are great ways to learn 

control and precision. Jumps can improve 

balance as can skiing off piste. Making videos 

can help children to see how their skiing looks 

and show them where to improve. Skiing with 

other children gives them healthy competition 

as well as a lot of banter and after-skiing 

entertainment. 

Finally, one must get the kit right. A snood 

is essential (whether cold or sunny) and two 

pairs of gloves or mittens are a must. Give 

small children mittens on a string so they 

don’t lose them. Make sure ski socks fit well 

and boots are properly done up. Pocket sized 

sun cream is useful as is an easily accessible 

energy packed snack. All-in-one ski suits and 

salopettes with braces can make loo breaks a 

challenge and trousers must go OUTSIDE 

boots to stop snow getting in! Always dress 

to be warm as there’s nothing worse than 

being cold on the mountain and no quicker 

way to put a child off. Finally a large glass of 

schnapps is a must at the end of the day!

WINTER WARMERS 

PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION 

Our Winner: Sebastian Chapman, Age 6, Windlesham House

WINDLESHAM HOUSE 

PHOTOGRAPHY 

The judges were so impressed with the standard of entries they decided to select 6 runners up 

to receive a book on photography for their school library. Congratulations to the following... 

What a response we had to our first ever 

competition! The School Notices office was 

inundated with Winter Warmers photos 

which frankly made our judges’s job almost 

impossible. We never knew there were so 

many budding photographers out there so a 

big thank you goes to all who entered. 

After much debate, a decision on a 

winner was made and we’re delighted to 

announce Sebastian Chapman, aged 6, from 

Windlesham House School took the prize. 

His winning photo, now the front cover of our 

winter edition, is gorgeous. Congratulations 

on winning £200 worth of books for the 

library and a £200 cheque for your chosen 

charity. 

We really enjoy helping children think of 

others less fortunate than themselves at School 

Notices and were so impressed by Sebastian’s 

efforts. He explained to us how he planned 

everything, including his snuggly clothes, 

before climbing the South Downs to take his 

photo where ‘you can even see the sea!’ 

Sebastian is a keen sportsman who clearly 

adores life at Windlesham. He easily decided 

what the library should spend his £200 prize 

on. ‘It’s Barry the Fish with Fingers and 

anything with volcanoes or hedgehogs in!’ he 

told us. About his chosen charity Sebastian 

also said, 

“I chose Chestnut Tree because I 

wanted to help little children who are 

poorly and live near me…” 

Well done Sebastian, we loved our trip to 

Windlesham House to meet you!

Do you pick the house or the school first? 

Guy Robinson 

Head of Agency, 

Strutt & Parker 

Parents perceive 

fi nding a home in the 

catchment area of their 

preferred school to 

be a top priority when 

looking for a new place 

to live. 

A recent poll* showed 

that more than a quarter 

of parents have bought 

or rented a new property in order to help 

their child get a place in their desired 

school. Not only this, it showed that they are 

prepared to pay a premium of up to 18% for 

the privilege. 

The fi ndings show that 46% of families in 

London and 46% of those in the North East 

have moved to be close to a good school. 

This compares to 29% of families in the 

South East, 25% in Yorkshire and Humber, 

24% in the North West and 11% in Wales. 

“Competition for properties 

close to the best schools can 

be fierce.” 

A survey by Which? earlier this year similarly 

revealed that nine in 10 homebuyers 

refused to compromise on their new home’s 

proximity to local schools. Guy Robinson, 

head of agency at Strutt & Parker, says: “It is 

undeniably clear that schools are the single 

biggest motivator for most homebuyers with 

children under 18, and understandably so. 

Competition for properties close to the best 

schools can be fi erce, particularly those 

which are oversubscribed.” 

He advises that picking the school fi rst rather 

than the house is the most sensible way for 

a young family to approach a long term 

move. “If the house of your dreams is not 

located close enough to your child’s school, 

it may become a reason to move again 

further down the line. For a long term and 

happy move, the location needs to tick the 

right box as much as the house.” 

“The location needs to tick 

the right box as much as the 

house.” 

Guy continues: “I often hear proximity to 

schools is why so many people choose to 

sell; perhaps the school run has become too 

much, or juggling the numerous afterschool 

clubs is no longer working. My advice would 

be to think ahead to where your family will 

be in 5 years and consider how the location 

of the house will affect everyone.” 

“Finding a home near the right school, in an 

accessible location, and close to transport 

links might seem like a hard task, but 

work with your estate agent and stay open 

minded. Lifestyle is, and always will be, the 

biggest consideration factor when moving 

house.”

build relationships with a couple 

of fantastically kind and generous 

families. I now feel comfortable 

finding work on my own and know 

that I have a reliable advertising 

platform to use when I need it.” 

School Notices Ex Pupil, Pinewood 

GADGETS SOLD… 

“Thank you School Notices…. I 

sold my new iPad Mini to a fellow 

user within 24 hours of posting my 

notice! So efficient and I received 

the money before even handing 

over the iPad…. I love your site!” 

School Notices Ex Pupil, Eton 

TICKETS BOUGHT… 

“My wife took me by great 

surprise when she appeared 

with two Rugby World Cup 

semi-final tickets that she had 

secretly acquired off School 

Notices. She had bought them 

from a parent at a different 

school and they arrived the next 

day recorded delivery. I had a 

brilliant day with my son, who 

was as chuffed and impressed 

as I was.” 

School Notices Father, Radley 

FUNDS RAISED… 

We’ve loved being involved with 

School Notices. It’s given our parents 

a tremendous place to buy and sell 

things easily and a great channel 

to advertise the growing number 

of parent owned businesses that 

we see, across a broad network of 

schools. Not to mention the fact 

that it has generated some really 

useful funds for our school’s smaller 

causes, as well as lighten the 

workload of the school office! It’s a 

really tremendous development for 

us and our parents”
