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

Mum's Coffee morning a great Success

Lisa and Suzanne organised a wonderful Coffee morning in the Aberdeen Common Room, despite the rain and localised flooding.   Apparantly the M23 was closed for 6 miles this morning and certainly the roads around Ardingly were heavily laden with excess runoff. 
Another coffee morning will be planned soon.  Thank you to the everyone for attending.


Star of the Week: Aria takes a risk

Last Saturday when illness struck the U15C netball team, Aria took a risk and stepped in to help.  She had played basketball before and quickly adopted her skills to play in the team at Centre.  A crucial and significant position.   She volunteered and really applied the Ardingly Learning Profile, by taking a risk.   Well don Aria.

Saturday Night Pyjama Party

We had a relaxing and fun time with Shell to Lower Sixth at Aberdeen.   Hot chocolate, pastries and pancakes.   The Pyjama party was a real hit.

Saturday morning netball

The girls move to playing Netball this term.   This morning some have already played Hurt and others play later this afternoon.   I managed to get a few pictures before I take the U15A hockey.   Take a look.......

Coffee Morning next

Dear Aberdeen and Neal Parents,
Lisa and Suzanne would like to invite you all to a Back to School Coffee Morning on Friday 17th January from 9am to 10:30am in The Aberdeen Common Room.
Unfortunately we cannot use The House facilities until after lessons start, perhaps some of you might like to arrange a dog walk (or if no dog, just a walk!!!) to fill the time between drop off and coffee.

It would be great to catch up with as many parents as possible.

Look forward to seeing you.

Kind Regards

Lisa Childs and Suzanne O’Shea
Aberdeen House Reps

Happy New Year

Well we are back in the flow of College life and the girls seem to have settled in well to the new rooms and roommates.  The Vth have mocks in two weeks so are already working hard. Some of the Vth sat their IGCSE Maths on Friday and I think it went well.
