Slip, slip, sliding on the ice...

This year, actually, there was more gliding than sliding as the weather was very kind for our annual trip to Bath's outdoor ice rink for our end of term House entertainment with Hall House. Everyone loved the extended rink and worked up an appetite for the hot chocolate and hot dog afterwards!

Festive Fun and Secret Santa!

Christmas foods and crackers on Saturday night, folllowed by Secret Santa on Sunday evening helped the party atmosphere in Fonthill as we head into the last week of term...!







Fonthill elves busy at work...

It's that time of the year when the Fonthill elves go into overdrive tying personalised messages onto candy canes. As in previous years, this is a very popular and wonderfully well supported fundraising activity. This year all funds raised will be split between two charities - Restart Centre in Kenya where we continue to sponsor Kelvin and Ken through their secondary education, and mental health charity Mind.




Boarders' Sports Hall Activities

Whatever the weather, there's always something to keep boarders busy and having fun at weekends, and this weekend was no exception with a range of indoor activities including badminton and climbing!

Christmas is coming...

We all love the weekend of the Year 10 and 11 ball as it marks the start of the Christmas season when all the decorations are unpacked!




Relaxing (or not!) over a tense game of Jenga after tree decorating!





Year 10 & 11 Ball

This weekend, it was the turn of the Year 10s and 11s to dress up for their annual Christmas ball. With a raffle, entertainment and disco, much fun was had by all!
