Inset Day – Purple Pens and Labelling Lads⤴

from @ The Pedagogy Princess

Yesterday’s inset day was a lovely relaxing first day back for the teachers before the madness of the children arriving!

Musical Madness at Moulsford⤴

from @ The Pedagogy Princess

With over 75% of boys at Moulsford learning at least one musical instrument, 2 choirs (involving over 120 boys) and an orchestra it is needless to say that Moulsford Preparatory School is a fantastic place to go if you’re interested in music!
