Tenbury House

Bhutan, Seville, China and The Hay Festival!

It has been an exciting week as two more boarders joined Tenbury House; Jia and Tshering
from Seville and Bhutan. The boarders were as welcoming as ever and both Jia and Tshering are settling in well at the boarding house. This brings us up to a grand total of 15 different nationalities at
Tenbury House!

The exciting news this week is that the boarders had the opportunity to attend the Hay Festival, in Segovia. It was a unique and invaluable experience as some of our A level English students got to
debate with the likes of Lord Desai and Gabriel Vasquez! They also toured the city of Segovia and visited the ancient aqueducts which Segovia is famous for.
They returned raving about the experience and I've posted photos below you all to enjoy.

Madrid Fashion Week and The European Showjumping Championship

 

It has been a busy week here at Tenbury house and we are now fully immersed in the autumn term at King's College.

 

Timetables have been set and routines followed and it's been a great and exciting start.

 

Academically all is in order and homework schedules are in place with House Tutors available each afternoon to help out when needed.

 

Extra curricular activities are due to start in October and again, boarders have already joined the various clubs and activities on offer, ranging from singing lessons to horse riding and swimming.

 

Your children have also been exploring a little further afield, in Tres cantos and Madrid too with excursions arranged by staff; but perhaps one of the nicest things to happen this week was the multitude of invitations received by various boarders from other day pupils. It has been very endearing to see the school community welcome the new group of 44 boarders with open arms and invitations from King's College families having been coming in by the bucket full in an effort to make boarders as welcome as possible.

On that note, please be sure to check the calendar on the school website as often as possible, as there will be events coming up which you may wish to attend, where you can meet day students and their families.

 

Boarders had the opportunity to attend Madrid Fashion Week and the European Showjumping Championship, which was held in Madrid this weekend and as you can see from the photos below, spirits were and continue to be high at Tenbury House!
