Virtual Open Evening

On Thursday 9th February we held a Virtual Open Evening comprising a suite of short videos and a Live Q&A with Headmaster Graham Spawforth, Pippa Probert, Head of Juniors, and Kate Senior, Head of Seniors, hosted by Roly Ainsworth, Deputy Head of Juniors.

We hope the evening provided a window into the world of Ditcham Park.

Please find the videos and a recording of the Live Q&A below.

  • The first video is a welcome from Graham Spawforth
  • Our keynote video is eight pupils who joined Reception in 2011 and who are now all about to take their GCSEs. Listen to each of them reflect on their Ditcham experience; their favourite trips, friendships, how it felt to move up from Juniors and what they were looking forward to in Seniors
  • Enter the wonderful world of Ditcham Dragonflies and enjoy hearing the choir sing and seeing our youngest pupils learning through play
  • Watch Reception pupils have buckets of fun in their garden which has been refurbished. Watch out for mud and water!
  • Enjoy the sunshine, smiles and action in our Summer Festival of Sport compilation
  • And finally, at the beginning of February, we welcomed Chris Hatt, Musical Director of Hamilton in London’s West End. Chris joined us as a STEAM guest speaker and met and worked with pupils in Juniors and Seniors for a packed day of music and performance

My name is Seb and I go to Pre-School. My teacher helps me carry my bags up to my classroom and put them on my peg. Then I’m allowed to play with my friends.

I see my tutor at the start of each day. He asks me how I am and makes sure I know if I have a music lesson or session with a teacher from Learning Support.
