One of our Year 5 pupils ran 7km during Fulham Reach Boat Club’s Festive River Run just before Christmas. Fulham Reach Boat Club is a sports development charity in Hammersmith that aims to utilise the power of sport, particularly rowing, to positively impact the lives of disadvantaged and marginalised communities in London. She looped from Riverside Studios by Hammersmith Bridge to Putney Bridge and back again. It was Christmas-themed with festive music, hot chocolate and a gold medal at the end for everyone who participated. She completed the run with ease and was the youngest participant running. Well done – a tremendous achievement!

We are very proud of one of our amazing Year 6 pupils, who recently had a stall at the Children’s Business Fair Pop-up in Guildford. Former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and wife Akshata Murty attended the fair in celebration of National Numeracy Day, which is today.
Rishi and Akshata spent over 90 minutes speaking with (and buying from) each of the young entrepreneurs. Akshata was particularly taken by our pupil’s 'Pearl Experience' and passion for ocean preservation. Her business supports a charity called the PADI Aware Foundation (www.padi.com/aware) to help protect the marine environment. She became very keen on this after she became a certified PADI Open Water diver during the last half-term.
Sam Rogerson, the founder of Children’s Business Fair UK, commented: ‘This Parsons Green Prep pupil is an outstanding young entrepreneur and proved an excellent ambassador to her school. She's a true demonstration of what’s possible when young people are given the chance to lead, create and shine.’
Congratulations to her from the whole school!
