A message from
Rich Jones, Head.
Phew, it has been a hot one this week, and it looks set to continue.
I know our decision to postpone Sports Day was met with equal parts relief and disappointment. My own children certainly made it very clear that, in their view, closing the whole school would have been a much better idea. Sadly, for them, that wasn't on the agenda.
As ever, we've adapted. Lessons have looked a little different, water bottles have become essential equipment and everyone has pulled together with good humour.
My favourite moment of the week came in the Junior School.
I happened to be outside just as Chrissy's class emerged for their fifteen minutes running through a sprinkler system that the staff had set up. It was one of those wonderfully simple moments that reminds you how little it sometimes takes to create joy. There were squeals, laughter, little yelps of cold shock and children dashing back for “just one more go”, all carefully supervised, of course.
One moment made me smile. One boy simply walked up to the sprinkler, glasses still on, placed his face directly into the water and stayed there while everyone around him dissolved into laughter before joining in themselves.
It was such a small thing, but it was also strangely beautiful.
Watching them, I found myself wondering where that uncomplicated sense of delight slowly disappears to as we get older. When do we stop finding so much happiness in something so wonderfully ordinary?
That question stayed with me because, only an hour earlier, I'd been talking to the Senior School about something that perhaps asks a similar question. Not about sprinklers, but about childhood, growing up and whether the technology we carry with us every day is quietly changing the way we experience it.
For those who weren't there, here's Monday's Morning Talk:
“I want to start by talking about something that many of you may have seen in the news recently.
The Government is considering restrictions on social media for under-16s. Whether that eventually becomes a ban, an age limit or something else remains to be seen, but it has certainly sparked a huge debate.
Now, I suspect that if I asked the adults in this room what they thought, many would be broadly supportive. If I asked the students, particularly those who would be affected, I suspect I might get a rather different answer.
That's okay. I'm not standing here this morning to tell you what to think.
In fact, if you leave this hall agreeing with everything I've said, I've probably failed. I'd much rather you leave thinking about it.
I'm not really interested in whether social media is good or bad. I think that is too simplistic. Most things in life are not entirely good or entirely bad. Social media allows people to stay connected, to learn things, to find communities and to express themselves. There are undoubtedly positives.
What interests me more is a different question.
Why have so many parents, teachers, psychologists and governments suddenly become worried about something that has become such a normal part of everyday life?
The psychologist Jonathan Haidt has spent years studying this question. His argument is not really about phones or apps. His argument is about childhood. He asks us to think about what childhood looked like before smartphones became a constant presence in our lives.
If you had grown up thirty years ago, after school you would probably have disappeared for a few hours. You would have met friends, played football, ridden bikes, walked around town, argued with people face-to-face, got bored, made up games and generally spent time figuring out how to be a human being in the company of other human beings.
Much of that happened without adults watching. Much of it happened without cameras. And much of it happened without anyone pressing a “like” button.
Haidt argues that over the last fifteen years something significant has changed. Young people spend less time physically together than previous generations, but at the same time they are connected to one another almost constantly through screens.
In some ways, we are more connected than ever before. And yet many studies suggest that young people are also reporting higher levels of anxiety, loneliness, sleep problems and stress than previous generations.
Now, it is important to say that correlation is not causation. Life is complicated. There is rarely one simple explanation for anything. But it does raise an interesting question.
If social media is making life better, why do so many young people report feeling worse?
One of Haidt's suggestions is that social media doesn't simply add something to our lives. It also replaces things.Every hour spent scrolling is an hour not spent doing something else.
- An hour not spent playing sport.
- Learning an instrument.
- Talking to a friend face-to-face.
- Reading a book.
- Walking the dog.
- Building something.
- Making something.
- Or simply being bored.
And being bored, strangely enough, is often where creativity begins.
Another challenge is that social media creates a world of constant comparison.
For most of human history, if you had an awkward moment, made a mistake or had a bad day, a handful of people might know about it. Today hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people can see a version of your life, and you can see a version of theirs. The pressure that creates is something no previous generation has really had to navigate.
There is another thing that I find quite interesting. Some of the strongest concerns about social media don't come from teachers, schools or politicians. They come from some of the people who helped build the technology itself.
Over the years, a surprising number of technology leaders have placed strict limits on their own children's use of smartphones, social media and algorithm-driven content. Now, that doesn't prove that social media is bad. But it does make me pause. The people closest to these technologies often seem to be the most careful about how much of them their children experience.
If the people who design these systems, invest in them and make billions from them are cautious about exposing their own children to them, then perhaps there is something worth paying attention to.
Perhaps the question is not whether social media is good or bad. Perhaps the question is why so many people who understand it best seem determined to put boundaries around it.
I'm not really interested in telling you what to think about a possible ban.
What interests me is whether we are asking the right questions.
Technology is a wonderful thing when it serves us. The challenge comes when we start serving it.
So rather than leaving you with answers, I want to leave you with a few questions.
If social media disappeared tomorrow, what would you genuinely miss?
- What would you secretly be relieved to lose?
- When you look back on being fourteen, fifteen or sixteen years old, what memories do you hope you will have?
- Will they mostly be things that happened on a screen? Or things that happened in the real world, with real people, in real places?”
Watching Chrissy’s class, I wonder whether childhood is meant to be filled with more moments like that. Moments that aren't performed for an audience, aren't measured in likes and don't disappear after twenty-four hours. Moments that belong only to the people who were there. Perhaps that's what we should be trying hardest to protect.

St Christopalooza 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined us for another fantastic St Christopalooza on Saturday. With glorious sunshine, outstanding student-led stalls, live music and activities for all ages, it was a wonderful celebration of our school community.
Senior School students put an enormous amount of effort into planning and running an impressive range of stalls, from coconut shy and football challenges to caricatures, 'Guess the Teacher from Their Baby Photo' and many more creative games. Families also enjoyed the bounce zone, animal encounters with our alpacas and ducks, refreshments and the annual art and design exhibition.
The Parents' Circle had an exceptional afternoon, with their candy floss, nearly new stall and St Chris merchandise proving incredibly popular throughout the event. Huge thanks go to all of the parent volunteers whose enthusiasm and hard work helped make the day such a success.
Our performers provided the perfect soundtrack to the afternoon, with wonderful performances from student soloists, the St Chris Jazz Band and the North Herts Ladies Choir, creating a relaxed festival atmosphere across the school field.

Sports Awards Evening Celebrates a Year of Achievement
Students, families and staff came together on Tuesday evening to celebrate another outstanding year of sport at our annual Sports Awards Evening.
The event recognised the commitment, determination and achievements of students across both the Junior and Senior Schools. Over the course of the academic year, St Chris students represented the school in more than 107 fixtures, demonstrating resilience, teamwork and sportsmanship in every competition.
We were delighted to welcome ultra-endurance athlete Jasmin Paris MBE as our guest speaker. Best known as the first and only woman to complete the legendary Barkley Marathons, Jasmin shared her remarkable story of perseverance, encouraging students to embrace challenges, learn from setbacks and believe in what they are capable of achieving. Her inspiring message resonated with everyone in the room. Watch the incredible documentary The Finisher about Jasmin's quest to complete the Barkley Marathons on YouTube here.

Young Artist Earns Prestigious Royal Drawing School Scholarship
Congratulations to Saroop, who has achieved a remarkable success after being awarded a place on the Young Artists General Scholarship Database at the Royal Drawing School in London.
Following a competitive application process, Saroop has been accepted as a Scholar to attend one of the Royal Drawing School's specialist courses this summer; an impressive achievement.
Saroop will attend weekend classes in London, where he will have the opportunity to develop his artistic skills alongside other talented young artists. One area of focus will be human anatomy drawing, a subject that Saroop is particularly keen to improve and explore further.
Drawing and illustration have long been a significant part of Saroop's life. While he originally enjoyed drawing dinosaurs, his interests have expanded through a love of anime and manga. Today, he creates many of his own original artworks while also studying and recreating pieces that inspire him. Entirely self-taught, Saroop has developed his skills through dedication, practice and a genuine passion for art.
What makes this achievement even more special is Saroop's perseverance. He first applied to the programme when he was nine years old but was not successful on that occasion. Undeterred, he applied again this year in the Young Artists category and was delighted to learn that he had secured a scholarship place.
Saroop is excited about the opportunity ahead and hopes the course will help him continue to develop his portfolio and artistic techniques. Looking to the future, he dreams of one day visiting Japan to experience first-hand the artistry of manga and traditional Japanese art that has inspired so much of his creative journey.
We are incredibly proud of Saroop's achievement and look forward to seeing how his talents continue to flourish. We wish him every success as he embarks on his summer of art.
Nursery & Junior
A Week of New Beginnings, Outdoor Adventures and Summer Fun
As the academic year draws towards a close, this week has been filled with exciting opportunities for students across the Junior School to look ahead to September. Transition Day gave every year group the chance to spend time with their new teachers, explore new learning environments and experience life in their next class, helping to build confidence and excitement for the year ahead.
Alongside these important preparations, students continued to enjoy a rich variety of learning experiences, from Forest School adventures and scientific investigations to PSHE discussions, creative role play and presentation preparation. The summer heatwave also brought plenty of smiles, with sprinkler sessions on the front lawn providing a welcome opportunity to cool down and enjoy time together outdoors.
Read on to discover what each year group has been learning, exploring and celebrating this week.
|
D Group (Year 6) |
|---|
|
D Group (Year 6) spent 3 full days in the Senior School this week as part of their transition to Senior School life in September. Joined by new classmates from external schools, they took part in lessons with Senior School teachers across all faculties, dipping into new subjects such as 3D, Environmental Studies, Spanish and Critical Thinking. They met teachers they already knew through Thursday Activities session as well as new ones that look forward to teaching and inspiring them further in the future. The transition activities ended with a cooling swim in the pool, a pastoral talk with Alistair and culminated in a welcome event for parents. The Junior School enjoyed an inspiring Morning Talk this week, delivered by Zelda in D Group (Year 6), who shared her experiences of being part of Girlguiding. Zelda spoke about her journey from Rainbow to Brownie and now Guide, highlighting the many skills, opportunities and friendships she has gained along the way. She also gave pupils an interesting insight into the history of Girlguiding and the wide range of activities available to members. Thank you, Zelda, for sharing your story and experiences with the school community. |

E Group (Year 5) |
|
E Group (Year 5) students continued their Growing and Changing unit in PSHE this week, developing their understanding of anatomy using accurate scientific vocabulary. Students approached the topic with maturity and respect, laying strong foundations for future discussions about emotions, relationships and the changes associated with puberty. Forest School provided a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the outdoors despite the heat. Students worked collaboratively to build dens, improve rope structures and develop practical knot-tying skills. It was particularly pleasing to see students supporting one another, sharing knowledge and showing initiative throughout the session. Their teamwork and cooperation made for a fitting conclusion to the Forest School year. |
| F Group (Year 4) |
|
F Group (Year 4) students have enjoyed a varied and engaging week of learning both indoors and outdoors. During Forest School, students explored the orchard, created artwork using charcoal paint, revisited previously made bows and carefully cared for local wildlife after discovering a beetle habitat. Plenty of climbing, swinging and outdoor exploration was followed by a welcome dash through the sprinklers to cool off. In PSHE, F Group (Year 4) continued their Growing and Changing learning, exploring in an age-appropriate and thoughtful manner. Students demonstrated impressive maturity, asking insightful questions and contributing respectfully to discussions. Transition Day provided another exciting opportunity as students spent time getting to know their new learning environment, creating name cards, exploring upcoming topics and taking part in team-building activities, art projects and outdoor games. Water trays for tired feet proved a particularly popular way to stay cool throughout the day. |
| G Group (Year 3) |
|
Following the excitement of their recent residential trip, G Group (Year 3) students have quickly settled back into classroom routines. This week they began preparing for their Morning Talk presentations, showing great confidence and commitment as they started learning their lines. In English, students revisited paragraph writing, while in mathematics they prepared to begin a new unit focused on time. It has been wonderful to see such enthusiasm and focus at this early stage of preparation. |
| H Group (Year 2) |
|
H Group (Year 2) students have enjoyed an exceptionally busy and rewarding week. A highlight was their overnight camp last Friday on the Junior School front lawn, where students set up camp, shared a pizza tea, played games and settled into cosy bell tents for an evening filled with stories, laughter and lasting memories. The experience provided a wonderful opportunity to build friendships and independence. In Forest School, H Group (Year 2) combined practical learning with scientific enquiry while harvesting potatoes. Students investigated how many tubers a potato plant can produce, making predictions before counting and weighing their harvest. Their findings sparked thoughtful discussion and will soon lead to a delicious cooking activity when temperatures are cooler. As part of their PSHE learning, H Group (Year 2) began exploring their Growing and Changing unit. Students approached discussions about body parts, body differences and personal autonomy with maturity, curiosity and respect, contributing thoughtfully throughout. They also thoroughly enjoyed a refreshing sprinkler session, helping everyone stay cool during the heatwave. |
| J Group (Year 1) |
| J Group (Year 1) students found creative ways to stay cool during the warm weather while continuing their learning. Water-based activities, including sprinkler fun, foot-cooling water trays and phonics sessions adapted for the heat, ensured students remained engaged and comfortable. J Group worked collaboratively to create a large seascape painting, applying their learning about seaside environments and key features such as beaches, rock pools and the creatures they may find there. They then made clay models exploring texture, form, and detail. The combination of learning and play made for a memorable and enjoyable week. |
| Reception (K Group) |
|
K Group (Reception) students demonstrated wonderful creativity and independence through a range of child-led activities. Following a class discussion, students transformed their role-play area into a bustling hair salon, taking on the roles of stylists and customers while developing their communication and collaborative skills. One student was asked to call in to make an appointment and he was greeted enthusiastically by the stylist and hairdresser giving him a smart new look! During a special transition morning, K Group (Reception) students experienced what it might be like to be members of J Group (Year 1). Spending time outdoors in the shade, they explored different types of grass, compared plants using scientific vocabulary and discussed flowers and their features. Their curiosity led to a morning full of independent exploration, discovery and thoughtful conversations about the natural world. |
| Nursery |
| Monte (Nursery) students made the most of the sunny weather this week, enjoying opportunities to play, explore and cool down outdoors. Alongside transition activities taking place across the Junior School, students embraced the excitement of preparing for the next stage of their learning journey while continuing to enjoy their familiar routines and outdoor adventures. |
Senior & Sixth
II Group Explore Cambridge's Natural History Museums
II Group (Year 8) students enjoyed an inspiring day of discovery on a recent visit run by the Science Department to the Sedgwick Museum and the Museum of Zoology at the University of Cambridge.
At the Sedgwick Museum, students explored the galleries before taking part in workshops on fossil handling, observational drawing and the life and work of pioneering palaeontologist Mary Anning. The quality of the students' drawings was particularly impressive, demonstrating both careful observation and artistic talent.
The group then visited the Museum of Zoology, where they explored fascinating collections of flora and fauna from across the world before meeting museum experts to learn how skeletons help scientists understand both living species and evolutionary history.
Perhaps the highlight of the day came with an unexpected surprise: the arrival of Sir David Attenborough, who was visiting the Department of Zoology for a conference. It was a memorable end to a day filled with discovery and hands-on learning.
Pride Month at St Chris
Throughout June, the Senior School marked Pride Month with a range of student-led activities celebrating inclusion, respect and community.
Our Major Official for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Isabel Plunkett, asked students how they would like to recognise Pride Month, ensuring that their voices shaped the celebrations. Their ideas included face painting, rainbow bracelets, craft activities and, of course, a rainbow cake, all of which proved popular throughout the month.
Thank you to Isabel and everyone who helped organise the activities, and to all the students who took part. It has been a wonderful way to celebrate the diversity of our community and the values of kindness, respect and belonging that are so important at St Chris.
Boarding: Keeping Cool with Movie Night
As temperatures soared this week, our boarding students found the perfect way to cool down with a movie night in the Mezz.
With the air conditioning turned right down, boarders enjoyed an evening watching Wonka, singing along to their favourite songs and relaxing together in one of our coolest spaces on campus.
It was a welcome chance to escape the heat, unwind with friends and enjoy a fun evening together. Take a look at the video to see everyone having a fantastic time!
