Dear Aberdeen Parents, girls and friends,

Dear Aberdeen Parents, girls and friends,

Welcome to the House blog. The aim of this blog is to give you access to non-vital information about the House and College. The girls get involved with so much at the College and I hope to use this forum as a way of keeping you informed of the activities they get involved in.



Please do join in and check it out whenever you can.



Best wishes,



Kate Newson

House Mistress of Aberdeen

The girls in house prepared salad and cooked at the BBQ.   Isabella was a star doing most of the cooking along with Mr. Newson.   The Berse was busy with hungry people.

Ardingly Year 8's invited to Aberdeen

The Remove Girls invited the Year 8's from the Prep School up to look around and get a feel of the House.   The aim was to break down any worries they may be having about joining in August.   The Remove organised fun games, a House Tour and then had a BBQ to finish.

Inter-House Rounders

The girls were a real credit to the House, playing in the right spirit of the game.   We will have to work on our rounder scoring for next year.
