We are very sorry to share the news with you that after a long battle with cancer, Chloe Buttle (Teacher and Head of French at the Prep School) passed away yesterday. Chloe had taught at the Prep School since 2011 and will be well-remembered by colleagues and pupils alike.
Staff at the Prep and Senior Schools were informed this morning and we have informed parents (and thus the children) this evening.
We are in contact with the family but not yet in a position to advise regarding arrangements for funeral, memorial or how we will remember her. We will ensure that you are kept informed as appropriate and thank you for your patience in this regard.
