For #FeedbackFriday we feature an email sent to @ShiplakeHM on the back of our recent U15s #ShiplakeRugby Tour to Colwyn Bay. It's always nice to receive such positive feedback about the conduct of our pupils and staff when they are 'off site'! An all-round successful trip!
Today @ShiplakeCollege we held a special ‘thank you’ lunch for our wonderful team of invigilators. We could not run our exams as efficiently without their patience, professionalism and ‘can do’ attitude. Thank you to invigilators (and Exams Officers) everywhere! #ShiplakeLearning
Here’s a clip from this week’s online assembly. On the eve of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, please consider sponsoring me 🙏🏻 #dday80 royalbritishlegion.enthuse.c…

A great colleague and the person responsible for making sure I am in the right place, at the right time, and for tracking me down when I am late! #ShiplakeStaff
We catch up with PA to the Deputy Heads, Mrs Blakeman, in today's 'A Conversation With...'. Learn more about her previous business ventures, as well as what she does here and why she enjoys working at the College, at buff.ly/3Ucan6v #ShiplakeStaff #ShiplakeIndividual
It was a real pleasure to lead these introductory sessions. In our kind and inclusive school, this approach will work very well #ShiplakeInclusive #ShiplakeReflective
Last week, we ran two Girls on Board sessions for our #ShiplakeYear12 and #ShiplakeYear7 girls. It is an approach which helps girls, their parents and teachers understand the complexities and dynamics of girl friendships. Read more at buff.ly/48JVCg3 #ShiplakeInclusive

Another ‘first’ for both schools. Wonderful to see and the perfect morning for it! ☀️ #ShiplakeYear7
Thank you @ReadingBlues for joining us for a morning of hockey, netball and ergos for the #ShiplakeYear7 girls. Great friendly competition from all the players! #ShiplakeHockey #ShiplakeNetball #ShiplakeCoEd
This is such a unique offer. Every single pupil in #ShiplakeLower experiences the thrill of performing, the joy of learning a new skill and the rigour of rehearsal. I am proud to lead the choir and I know that makes me very biased! #ShiplakeMusic #ShiplakeCreative
Proud to be shortlisted for the @isotyawards Independent School of the Year for Performing Arts/Music/Drama due to our Lower School 'Music for All' programme, with all Year 7 and 8 pupils learning an instrument and singing in the Lower School Choir. #ISOTY2023 @ShiplakeMusic
As ever, an inspiring day at @EducationFest at #wellingtoncollege Simply not possible to visit every talk of interest but enjoyed exploring the future of assessment, cognitive science and (unsurprisingly) AI #educationfest #shiplakelearning
