Welcome Back
It was wonderful to welcome pupils and their families to Marlborough House Vinehall this week.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone this afternoon for tea and ice-creams on the Terrace from 3.30pm for Pre-Prep and from 4.30pm for Prep.
New Play Equipment
All the children were excited to explore the new play area, complete with monkey bars, multi-height platforms, cargo nets, slide, fireman's pole and balance rope.
The Pre-Prep play area has been expanded to incorporate the new equipment so all children can join in the fun.
Bewl Water Dragon Boat Race
Saturday 30th August was a fun day on the water for our two MHV teams, the All Stars and the Wave Warriors. Just missing out on the final, they nevertheless acquitted themselves impressively, positioned 8 and 9 out of 32, with only a hundredth of a second between them!
This was a great gathering of families and paddlers from across the MHV community, we hope the first of many to come! This was also an opportunity to raise money for The Royal Marsden, which has been providing critical ongoing treatment for a former MHS pupil. Mr Goodman (MHV Parent)
A huge thank you to Mr Goodman for organising this fantastic annual event.

Birthday Cup Cakes
As per Nurse Izzie's letter, for allergy and Health and Safety reasons no consumable items can be bought into School. In order to ensure that every pupil is made to feel special on their birthday, children will each receive an individual cupcake on their big day. The cupcakes are handmade, labelled and boxed by our Catering Team who are able to adapt the recipe to suit any dietary requirements and ensure everyone's safety. Pupils will also receive a card from the School to wish them a Happy Birthday. All of which are hand delivered by the Head or Head of Pre-Prep. If your child's birthday falls on the weekend or school holidays we will ensure that they still receive their birthday gift.
Uniform Deliveries
If you ordered uniform to be delivered to school, please pop into the School Office (Prep uniform) or Pre-Prep Office (Pre-Prep uniform) to collect your packages.
Ongoing, online orders placed by midnight on Tuesday, with the 'free delivery to school' option selected, will be delivered to the school that week, for collection from Friday.

Flexi Boarding Activities
We ensure that a night in the Boarding House is a really positive experience for our full, weekly and flexi boarders. In addition, we have two dedicated activities every week which may be of particular interest to our flexi boarders. Activity nights are on a Wednesday and Thursday and details of next week's activities are available below.
To arrange for your child to flexi board, please contact the Boarding Team on the link below:
