“Lord, what fools these mortals be!” 🌙✨

Some of our students enjoyed an unforgettable cast trip to Shakespeare's Globe last term to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream performed live on stage.

A wonderful opportunity to celebrate drama, literature and live performance together 🎭

Our book recommendation this week as part of the comes from Amelie! 📚

"People should read Flember: The Secret Book because it is full of adventure - but not the usual kind. It follows a creative and courageous boy on a magical journey that is exciting and fun to read. I think this book is imaginative, full of magic, and perfect for readers who enjoy stories that feel a little different".

This week's book recommendation as part of the comes from HAB's very own Geography teacher, Miss Brown 📚

"I always look forward to the latest issue of the Royal Geographical Society’s Geographical magazine landing on my doorstep - and make time to read it cover to cover.

While mainstream news touches on major topics like climate change, Geographical offers deeper insight into the issues that really matter to geographers, brought to life with stunning images, graphs and analysis. This month explores the impact of US aid cuts on Lesotho, conservation efforts in the Maldives, and the shifting global order under the new US president - plus thoughtful book reviews.

There’s nothing better than learning something new with a cup of tea and travelling the world from your armchair!"
