The Headmaster held an assembly outside this morning in the beautiful sunshine, to talk to the boys and pay tribute to Old Mole and former Head Boy Edward Bush who tragically died at the weekend. Our thoughts are with his family and friends

It has been a different half term but the boys and staff have approached every challenge with enthusiasm and creativity. Thanks to everyone in the Moulsford community for your continued support. Now time to rest and recharge. Stay safe and have a lovely break - we made it!
Congratulations to Cameron Wood who played with the Abingdon 1st XV in the U18 NatWest Cup First Round yesterday, beating Reading Bluecoat School 45-5. Cameron was the only fifth former playing, but was joined by fellow Old Moles, 6th formers Jack Harvey and Sinclair Pierce
A very Happy New Year to every member of the Moulsford community. We know that 2021 is going to start off a bit bumpy, but let’s hope there are brighter days ahead!

The entire Moulsford community is so saddened to hear of the death of Queen Elizabeth. She spent her life in service to the country & was an example to us all. As a school we so enjoyed the celebrations to mark her Platinum Jubilee this summer and our thoughts are with her family
Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic year with some truly special moments over the last few days of term. We hope everyone has a fantastic summer!
The
@MoulsfordYear7
and
@MoulsfordYear8
boys have all been attending our 'covid testing centre' this evening ready for the return to school on Monday. We are so grateful to Matron and her team for making the process quick and easy for the boys - a very slick operation!
We were delighted that you were able to come in person and celebrate the boys’ achievements, as well as provide us with a very uplifting speech. It was a fantastic morning - thank you and enjoy the summer.
A real pleasure to be
@Moulsford
this morning for their Year 8 Prize Giving. All socially distanced, of course, and no hand shakes, but a wonderful occasion. The boys have clearly been v busy during lockdown & were loving being back at school. Well done & have a great summer.
Thank you to the
@Moulsford
Parents Association for a wonderful bonfire and fireworks display. It’s so good to have families back on the school site for this event.
It is not that we are obsessed with food or anything at Moulsford (!), but after our wonderful waffly breakfast, just look at the beautiful new salad bar!

We were delighted to welcome the boys back into school today, in glorious sunshine. The cricket pitches are looking stunning and we can’t wait to see them being put to good use over the term
#bemoulsford
The boys are running, shouting, playing, throwing and catching, chatting, shouting, socialising and did we mention shouting? They really seem to be enjoying seeing their friends and are making the most of today's digital detox

We are delighted to share our latest ISI Report, following inspection in early March. In summary, the School was awarded the highest possible grades in all categories - thank you to the whole Moulsford community for your efforts and support

To ensure safe social distancing, Year 1 have got new temporary portaloos and they seem to be a big hit. One boy was overheard saying, "Oooh, these are rather posh and I love the pink lights!"
