We're fortunate enough to get lots of wildlife visitors at Chapman House but this one was extra special. This lovely deer greeted our Facilities team when we re-opened our doors on Tuesday; clearly the animals have been making the most of the peace & quiet over the past weeks!
We're keeping our fingers crossed for Georgie and Louisa, Year 10, who have been selected to take part in Under 16 England Hockey Trials this week! An amazing achievement, very best of luck, girls!
🤞🤞
Sophie, Year 10, has been doing 30 minutes a week in the pool, using different bungees for different strokes/sets! This is brilliant, keep up the hard work!
