It's here!
The FSM X-Factor Grand Final is Tonight, Wednesday 10th March.
It all kicks off at 7pm in the DHH, and let me tell you, the nerves are jangling and the paparazzi are readying their lenses.
Day children are welcome to come along and add their voices this evening. (Dinner is only available to boarders, pack lunches can be brought to munch in the library however!)
This is looking like the best year ever, so watch this space for aftershow news and results.
Good luck to all!!!!!

A wonderfully sunny (but cold) afternoon awaited the brave Cubs who ventured to Poulner Junior school on Sunday to compete in the New Forest Cub football competition. Once all they boys had arrived we split into two teams in order to compete in the matches ahead. The A Team had a disappointing start, losing to Poulner Cubs in their first match, but fought back to win all their remaining games achieving 12 points from a maximum of 15. The B Team played well but with two losses and two draws managed a total of 5 points. However these great results meant we were able to take 2nd and 3rd places overall in the competition.
Special mention goes to our two team captains, the two Dan's, for their brilliant performances.

Everyone had a 'spring' in their step on Friday as the annual spring music concerts launched a sunny and spring-like sleepout weekend. The middle school children amazed the audience with their skills ( ...'and so good at such a young age!', I heard one proud granny exclaim!) Every year group performed a number ranging from the story of Rapunzel told through story and music, to Fossils, (year 3) and Creepy Crotchets (year 4). There were some extraordinary solos from Guy, Max and Alice as well as many other performances.

The Seniors took over after lunch to an admiring crowd. The Senior choir, the orchestra, jazz band and rock group could rival any Senior School whilst solo performances and alternative groups displayed sheer genius! A highlight in both performances was to hear Toby play accompanied by the string group. As a newly appointed member of the National Youth Orchestra, Toby was able to display his extraordinary talents. Thanks to all the staff, the children and to the parents who encourage the practising required to reach such a standard! CLICK HERE to catch a glimpse!
