Harvest Festival
We finish half term on a high with a wonderful Harvest Festival. Songs, poems and readings made for a joyful celebration, and thanks to the incredible generosity of our families, a minibus full of donations for the Guildford Food Bank was loaded by our Year 6 pupils and readied for delivery. It was a fitting way to end the half term, reflecting the kindness, community spirit and values that are such an important part of life at RGS Prep.
