What a school year feels like
Life at School
Ordinary days. Ten years of them.
Most of school is ordinary: coached sport on the turf before class, a classroom the children look after themselves, a Friday when Grade 1 counts the class kitty. The festivals and events below are where those days show up in public.
A Year, in Three Stretches
Festivals and events are part of how children learn about people and places. We show a date only where we have one: this year’s events that have already happened.
The rains
Leaves, light and grandparents
Eco Ganesh
Leaf cards, made from real leaves. Children work in pairs, one helping the other place a leaf.
World Photography Day
Sun prints. Children set leaves and flowers on paper in trays, take them out into the sun, then watch the pictures develop.
Grandparents’ Day
18 Sep 2026The day grandparents come to school.
The festival months
Dussehra, World Food Day, Diwali
Dussehra
19 Oct 2026Grade 1 pairs each Navratri colour with a virtue: orange is courage. Grade 3 builds a three-dimensional Saraswati Yantra. Children come in festive clothes.
World Food Day
16 Oct 2026Little Chefs, Big Bites. Mixed-age teams cook without a flame, with the older children as Head Chefs. Grade 2 makes, prices and sells laddoos.
Diwali
Stalls, many of them run by parents, and decor the children make themselves. Their doodles and uneven crafts stay in.
All year round
Themes, sport and a show
Culture Connect
Many homes, many traditions, one India. Children stand at the microphone and share something from home: a dish, a song, a dress.
Green Day and Greenopia
Clean home, clean school, happy hearts. In Greenopia, children write the “Use natural light” posters that go above the light switches.
Yoga
Part of the morning on the turf. On International Yoga Day the mats come out under bunting.
Sports Day
Officially a fun day, not a performance. Every child does the same activities, with the difficulty set to the child, so no one is left out.
A show every term
Music and the arts are taught by specialists, and every term has a show.
Photographs
Real photographs of our children, taken in school: in maroon kurtas on class days and blue sports kit on the turf.
Every child has a real job
Children Run the School
News and Calendar
Our calendar opens when the next term does
Term dates, events and news will be posted here as soon as it does. Until then, the surest way to see school life is to come and watch a morning.
