We were delighted to welcome staff from Falkland Primary School and KIntbury St Marys , alongside our own team, to a two-day Paediatric First Aid course hosted here at St Gabriel's and led by our fantastic School Nurse and qualified First Aid Trainer, Amy Tobin. The training covered everything from basic life support and CPR to supporting children with conditions like asthma, diabetes, and anaphylaxis all in a hands-on, supportive environment. Attendees left with an Ofsted-compliant certificate. It was great to connect with colleagues from other local schools and support professional development across the education community. #StGabrielsSchool #FirstAidTraining #PaediatricFirstAid #CommunityLearning #StaffCPD #SchoolsTogether #lifelongskills
On Monday 7 July, we welcomed Year 5 pupils from St Gabriel's and local schools to our Taster Day, giving them a glimpse of life in the Senior School at St Gabriel's. Pupils took part in team-building challenges, enjoyed taster lessons in music, computing and geography, and had time to relax over lunch in the marquee and chat about their hopes for the future. Our wonderful Sixth Formers were on hand throughout the day as ambassadors, guiding and supporting each group with warmth and encouragement thank you for being such fantastic role models! It was a fantastic day full of fun, learning, and new friendships. We look forward to seeing many of these smiling faces again in the future! #StGabrielsSchool #Year5TasterDay #SeniorSchoolExperience #FutureYear7 #SixthFormAmbassadors
Poetry + Performance = Magic! We were thrilled to host our first-ever Poetry to Performance Day here at St Gabriel's, welcoming over 60 brilliant Year 4 pupils from 10 local schools! Themed around nature, the day saw pupils exploring our beautiful grounds from the lake to the woods before working in teams to create and perform their own original poems. Led by our English Department and Head of Drama Ruth Chaplin, the creativity and confidence on display were phenomenal. Parents joined us for the final performance and everyone went home with a sunflower seed growing kit a little reminder to keep their creativity blooming! A huge thank you to all the amazing schools who joined us: Beenham Primary, Birch Copse Primary, Cold Ash St Mark's CE Primary School, Great Bedwyn Primary, Mortimer St Mary's, St Finian's Catholic Primary School, Overton C of E, Speenhamland School, Four Lanes Community Junior School and Calcot Primary #PoetryToPerformance #StGabrielsNewbury #OutdoorLearning #CreativeEducation #PartnershipsInEducation #IndependentSchools #PoetryDay #Nature #LearningOutsideTheClassroom
What an exciting Monday morning at St Gabriel's! Nursery were thrilled to welcome the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service for a special visit. Pre-Schoolers had the chance to explore a real fire engine, ask questions, and even try out the fire hose. Babies and Toddlers also got involved, bravely climbing aboard and marvelling at the flashing lights. A huge thank you to the RBFRS team for this unforgettable experience a fun and inspiring way to learn about the incredible work of our local firefighters #StGabrielsNursery #LittleLearnersBigAdventures #RBFRS #CommunityHeroes #NurseryLife
St Gabriel's Joins Jamie Oliver's Guinness World Record Attempt! Last week, pupils from Years 8–10 stepped into the record books as they took part in Jamie Oliver's live-streamed cooking lesson, aiming to set the Guinness World Record for the largest ever online cooking class. Alongside 700+ schools and around 10,000 participants nationwide, our Food Tech Room buzzed with energy as pupils (and staff!) whipped up homemade pasta in a delicious tomato sauce all in just one hour! A huge thank you to Mrs Edwards for organising the ingredients and submitting our evidence for official verification, and to Mrs Chapman and Mrs Knott for joining in the culinary fun. #StGabriels #GuinnessWorldRecord #JamieOliver #CookingChallenge #Teamwork #PastaPower #FoodTechFun #schoolsinberkshire
Senior Sports Day 2025 On Thursday 3 July, the Senior School gathered at Crookham Common Athletics Track for a fantastic day of sporting achievement and school spirit. Pupils competed in a full programme of events from sprints and long-distance runs to long jump and vortex throws with parents, staff and classmates cheering them on every step of the way. House spirit was at an all-time high, with pupils proudly sporting body paint, tutus, banners and pom-poms. The ice cream van also kept everyone cool in the sunshine! A massive well done to Chad House, who just edged into first place in what was a very close competition. We're so proud of every pupil who took part – it was a brilliant day celebrating effort, teamwork and fun. More photos to follow soon! #StGabrielsSchool #SeniorSportsDay #SchoolCommunity #ChadHouse #HouseCompetition #Teamwork #PupilPride #IndependentSchoolLife #Newbury
