The Year 6 visitors enjoyed touring the school and looking at the fabulous displays which the different subject areas had arranged in the Main Hall. The school was extremely proud of the way in which their Year 11 Prefects conducted the tours of the school and received many congratulatory comments on the superb way they represented Charters.
In the evening, Headteacher Mr Richard Pilgrim met with prospective parents and gave a presentation on life at the school.

Four budding mathematicians from Upton House School, Windsor have flown through a series of demanding challenges to become regional winners of Round Two of the prestigious National Young Mathematicians’ Award 2019 - run in conjunction with the NRICH project at the University of Cambridge. Around 1,300 schools entrants from across the UK have been whittled down to just 140 teams of four, with the Explore Learning Centre in Slough voting the Upton House Maths Team as their top entrant for the region. All regional finalists’ work will now be considered at Explore Learning’s Head Office before a total of 10 teams are selected to take part in the National Final at Cambridge University in January.
The National Young Mathematicians’ Award is open to secondary and primary schools and seeks to feed a passion for learning while inspiring children to aim high - encouraging them to work in a team to tackle a unique mathematical problem.
Mrs Melinda Ward, More Able Co-ordinator at Upton House School says: “Form 6 pupils, Emily, Naia, Emma and Paris have worked incredibly hard and shone in terms of their team spirit, perseverance and high ability levels in tackling the mathematical challenges presented at every stage. In Round Two, the girls were presented with a particularly complex ‘never-seen-before’ challenge and faced it with enthusiasm, solving all three parts of the challenge within the allotted time and successfully feeding back their results to the judging panel. Explore Learning has had nothing but praise for the girls so far, complimenting their team work, confidence, presentation and, of course, maths skills.”

Hostile Vehicle Mitigation measures to be installed in Windsor Town Centre | Permanent Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) measures will be installed in Windsor to ensure the safety of residents.
In March 2017, temporary HVM measures were deployed in response to the Westminster attacks, but a permanent, integrated solution has now been identified.
The Royal Borough has been working with Thames Valley Police and specialist security consultants to develop the designs, and detailed assessment work has been undertaken at each location to determine the best position and type of HVM measures.
The design for each location is unique and has been designed with consideration of the conservation status of each area in mind.
Councillor Phill Bicknell, cabinet member for highways, transport and Windsor, said: “Keeping our residents safe is a top priority and these measures have been designed to ensure the safety of residents and those visiting Windsor.

Papplewick boys in Years 7 and 8 performed ‘Bugsy Malone’, from 29th November to 1st December for local schools, families and friends.
This gangster musical spoof, in which real guns are substituted by foam firing ‘splurge guns,’ is set in New York City in the early 1930s during prohibition. Rival gangs are vying for control of the nightclub scene and gun-smuggling, illicit alcohol production and a myriad other nefarious activities, associated with the New York gangster milieu, are in full swing!
The boys donned suits and fedoras, flapper dresses and cloche hats and had a lot of fun singing, dancing and acting out a stage version of Alan Parker's 1976 hit film.
Headmaster Tom Bunbury said: “Judging from the enthusiastic audiences and the generous applause, the show was a great success!”

Borough Local Plan progresses | The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead is committed to ensuring we take our time to provide an effective Borough Local Plan which is right for our residents.
Following a recent letter from the Inspector via the programme officer, officers will be continuing to work on flooding and site selection.
Public consultation will take place on these sections to gather views from our residents before any further hearings take place.
Cllr David Coppinger, Cabinet Member for Planning, said: “We want to hear the views of our residents and it is important to take time to ensure we deliver an effective plan for the borough.
“It is not unusual for councils to carry out further work on their plans during the examination period given that Inspectors are required to work with councils to assist them to get a plan in place.
