Burns Night

With 70 members of our Prep community joining us, our Burns Night celebration sparkled with Scottish spirit and a fantastic atmosphere.

The night began with a champagne reception, before everyone took their seats for a dinner of haggis, neeps and tatties. The haggis was ceremoniously piped in and the spirited traditional blessing was eloquently delivered — always a highlight!

A huge thank you to our catering partners, Holroyd Howe, for the delicious feast — and to our wonderful recent alumni, who returned to The Prep as waiters and waitresses for the evening. You were fantastic!

The brilliant band led us through a lively whirl of Scottish reels, with dance cards filled in no time. From energetic spins to the ever‑popular Strip the Willow, parents danced the night away, leaving everyone with smiles on their faces and more than a few tired feet!

An enormous thank you to our Burns Night Committee for organising yet another truly fabulous evening.
