THE ECCLESBOURNE SCHOOL

Spring 2026

"As we reach the midpoint of the spring term I think we could all be forgiven for thinking it would never stop raining! Fortunately, life at school has been as busy and uplifting as always, and kept us all cheerful under our umbrellas. Although if it doesn’t brighten up soon, we may ask Lower School students to help us build an Ark in wood tech!"

"One of the highlights of our school year was the House Plays earlier this month involving nearly 400 students from all year groups. Written and directed by our Sixth Form House Captains, these productions showcased creativity, teamwork, and the strength of our school community."

"As we reach the end of another incredibly successful academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the achievements, experiences, and values that make our school such a special place. We were absolutely delighted to be recognised in The Sunday Times Parent Power guide as one of the top ten schools in the East Midlands for academic success: a testament to the hard work, dedication and excellence of our students and staff. academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the achievements, experiences, and values that make our school such a special place.

"This month marks five years since the first national lockdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic - a moment that changed the world in ways few could have imagined. At The Ecclesbourne School, it offers us a chance to reflect on how far we have come, and to celebrate the strength, resilience, and community spirit that carried us through some of the most challenging times in recent memory."
