Newbury Weekly News

Horris Hill HORRIS Hill School has a

unique ethos which develops every boy as an individual and provides a rigorous and extensive academic, sporting, musical and artistic foundation. We deliver success by achieving places and awards at the very best senior schools and boys with impeccable manners, good humour and active brains! In the past academic year awards to senior schools have included - academic at Winch- ester, Eton and Marlborough; outstanding talent at Harrow; music and drama at St Edward’s Oxford and Milton Abbey; and sport at Millfield and Sherborne. We believe that the period from seven to 13 years of age are the most critical in any boy’s life. These are the years where the foundations of the men they can become are laid. At such a crucial stage in their cultural development, we believe that an all-boys’ school provides the optimal setting where boys

will exercise their intellectual inquisitiveness, free to explore all avenues, building self-confi- dence and awareness in a safe and encouraging environment. We offer a wide variety of sports and extra-curricular activities,

so that every boy has the oppor- tunity to develop interests away from the classroom. The main sports are rugby, foot- ball, cricket, hockey and tennis. We also have our own golf course, train and modelling room, swimming pool, squash court and cross country course. For boys with green fingers, we have our very own kitchen garden. We also offer Lamda for budding performers, judo, sailing, clay pigeon shooting, Mandarin and a hugely successful chess club. To see for yourself what a differ- ence a Horris Hill education could make for your son, please come and visit us. Simply email registrar@ horrishill.com to arrange an appointment. We look forward to welcoming you to Horris Hill.
