Friend of HHS and Paralympic silver medallist Blaine Hunt was in school for the Upper and Lower School assemblies. Blaine spoke to the children about his journey into para sport, his amazing few weeks in Paris as part of Team GB, the wide variety of foods he eats to stay fit and healthy and also his new role as a Movember Ambassador. We look forward to creating the chance for our children and parents to ride with Blaine in the coming months as he builds towards defending his World Championship title in 2025.#whywelovehornsby #headheartspirit @movember @balhamnewsie @nappyvalleynet @education_choices_magazine @education.newspaper @whichschooladvisoruk @schoolsshow @independentschoolparent @blainehunt @paralympicsgb_official #wow #amazing #achieve #proud #inspiration #goals

Wellbeing is a key part of life at Hornsby House School. Alongside the children’s daily wellbeing sessions, this week we have been celebrating World Mental Health Day. The children met our new Year 6 Wellbeing Ambassadors who shared their top tips for keeping calm and energised. We have also been exploring the Zones of Regulation and learning to recognise our feelings. Our pupils learn a range of strategies to help manage how they feel which includes breathing exercises, stretches, laughter and expressing themselves creatively. #whywelovehornsby #headheartspirit @worldmentalhealthday @independentschoolparent @schoolsshow #wellbeing #healthy #mindset #mindful #together #support #friendship #positivity #feelings #zonesofregulation #proud #wow #london #school @nappyvalleynet #balhamparents #balhammums #eyfs #ks1 #ks2
