Christmas has arrived at Stormont! The decorations are now up and the school is looking really festive ahead of the nativity play next week. Our Stormont Parents’ Association have worked hard to put up the trees and decorations around the school. The girls were all so happy when they came out of their classrooms on Friday to see the twinkling lights and sparkling decorations all around!

The girls have an exciting few weeks ahead with the Pre-Prep nativity play, the Prep carol service, the whole school Christmas lunch and their class Christmas parties to name just a few of the things they have to look forward to before the end of term on the 13th December. What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit!

Thank you to the Royal British Legion for inviting us to take part in their third Remembrance Service on Friday 8^th November. As in previous years our Year 6 girls represented Stormont at the service, and some of the girls were invited to participate in various parts of the service. It was an honour to be invited as part of Remembrance services across the country and represent Potters Bar schools at this event.

At the end of the first half of the Autumn term our Stormont Parents’ Association organised the annual Autumn party for the girls. It is a fun-packed day for the girls, with a non-uniform day allowing them to come in their party clothes all ready. There was also a pumpkin decorating competition to which there were some amazing entries, so congratulations to the winners and all those who entered.

We are pleased to announce that from September 2024, Stormont School will merge with St Albans High School for Girls (STAHS) to become part of a new education group. This merger is an exciting opportunity to further strengthen the already close ties between Stormont and STAHS through a more formal partnership. The St Albans Education Group will include Stormont School, STAHS Prep School, and STAHS Senior School and whilst the individuality and character of each of these schools will continue to be celebrated and developed, the merger, will provide strength, stability and opportunity for all.

We have prepared a set of FAQs, available here, to address the most common questions, and we are happy to answer any additional questions if contacted directly.

We are committed to retaining our family feel and will still recognise and reward every pupil for her efforts as well as her achievements and continue to develop happy, confident girls and we look forward to an exciting new chapter in Stormont’s history.

As we enter into 2024, we are excited that Stormont turns 80 years old! The house became a school in 1944, and over 50 day pupils were moved from Mymwood in Brookmans Park, which was required again for Queenswood junior boarders towards the end of the second world war.  Since opening on the current site in 1944, Stormont has had 5 Headmistresses, with the current Head Miss Martin appointed in 2020.  To read more of our history, please click here.

There will be many ways that the school will celebrate this year, so please follow our social media pages for more information. Happy 80th birthday Stormont!

So we come to the end of another year, with the girls (and staff) all off on their Christmas holidays ready for a season of goodwill. The last few weeks of school have seen a whirlwind of activity, which started with our Pre-Prep nativity play. The girls put on amazing performances for the whole school and their parents. The Prep girls performed their carol service at Christ Church Little Heath with a mixture of singing and musical performances.

Our year 5 class had visits to Cuffley Care Home and Cooperscroft to sing Christmas carols, with many residents now looking forward to our termly visits. Everyone sang carols and enjoyed listening to the girls sing.

Towards the end of term, the girls had their end of year Christmas party, with games and music starting off their party season. The Pre-Prep girls had a visit from Father Christmas, and they couldn’t believe he was there to see them! Finally, to end the term, the whole school sat down together for the school Christmas lunch, with the obligatory Christmas jumper, took place on the 12th December, with everyone enjoying a full Christmas dinner and dessert cooked by our catering team. It was a feast for everyone! The day ended with a full school quiz, which the girls really enjoyed.

From everyone at Stormont School, we wish you all a very merry Christmas, and a happy and prosperous new year! See you all in January.

Saturday 2nd December saw Stormont School host our annual Yuletide fair, and what a great day it was! The atmosphere was buzzing with Christmas excitement and activity over the main areas of the school. With our external stallholders, our class stalls and our new elf emporium everyone had a great day doing some Christmas shopping and activities. Our sports hall had 2 bouncy castles for the children to bounce away their Christmas excitement, and they could then move on to visit to the teacher’s stall to show off some of their throwing and shoot the hoop skills.

Our elf emporium, hosted by Buddy the Elf himself, allowed the girls to make their bag of reindeer food ready for Christmas Eve. They also could decorate a gingerbread man, decorate baubles and crowns, and make their own crackers, and have an elfie selfie with Buddy! Finally, with a trip to the nail salon the girls had a fun day, going home happy and in the Christmas spirit.

All of us at Stormont wish to thank our SPA Chairs, our SPA parent reps, parents and teachers who all either worked hard to organise the event or gave up their time on the day to help run the stalls. We are very grateful to have such a supportive community to bring these extra events to enrich our school life.

Today, volunteers from our Stormont Parents’ Association came into school and transformed it into a Christmas grotto! While the girls were in lessons our parents were working hard around the school putting up trees and other decorations, which were met with delight as the girls emerged from their classrooms. Thank you to our volunteers, and we now look forward to our Pre-Prep nativity play next week!
