The IIs (Year 7) turned into historical detectives when they visited The National Archives. The boys were able to see and explore for themselves documents and artefacts to delve into the subjects they have been learning - suffragettes and enslavement.#nationalarchives #history

Ludgrove marked the start of its 80th Anniversary of VE Day commemorations with Toby, Captain of School, raising the Union Jack. As Sir Winston Churchill said in his VE Day speech: “This is your victory. Victory of the cause of freedom in every land.”#VEDay #veday80thanniversary

Leading on line safety expert, Karl Hopwood, talked to the boys, staff and parents about digital literacy and safer online behaviour. He spoke about the pros and cons of AI and apps, and advised: “When (not if) something goes wrong on line you have to tell someone you trust.”

The annual Fathers and Sons Golf Tournament drew a strong field to enjoy a glorious day of sunshine on the Ludgrove course. Congratulations to the Lawsons who lifted the Cup, the Elworthys and Trehearnes (joint 2nd) and Macleans (3rd) and all our competitors for some great golf.

We are delighted to announce Jacky has been awarded a King’s Scholarship by Eton College. He’ll be in good company when he reaches College House, where all 70 King’s Scholars live, as he will be welcomed by OL Jaey who received the KS in 2022. That’s two KS awards in three years!

It’s all a matter of perspective… what makes a good match for one person may not be the same for another. Interestingly, the one word not used in the straw poll was ‘winning’! Ludgrove loves its cricket but it loves sportsmanship more! #sportsmanship #lovecricket #boardingschool

It’s World Bee Day and we are happy to report that Mrs Barber’s hive is buzzy and busy at Ludgrove. Mrs Barber checked the hive and is delighted to feedback that it is very healthy with lots of eggs and larvae in evidence. Our bees (pictured) just love the School garden’s flora🐝

With every muscle taking the strain and the boys’ cheers spurring them on, the Sets’ Tug-of-War teams battled it out today to book a place in the Sports Day final. It’s going to be a Battle Royale on 28th June! #tugofwar #sportsday #prepschool

Thank you for shining a light on our School family and what makes boarding at Ludgrove so special. #boardingschool #berkshireprepschool

From the start of the boys’ journey in the VIs to when they reach the Top Year, their metamorphosis is incredible. Never is this transition seen more clearly than when we capture our traditional Smallest/Tallest photo. But remember you don’t have to be tall to be mighty!

Lights… camera… action!🎬 We have discovered the Top Year is stuffed full of Spielbergs and Schwarzeneggers when they directed and starred in their own short films. And the film that picked up the Oscar was… ‘Stealing a Heart’. Well done to the cast! 🎬#onedayfilmschool

The 1st XI’s last match at Ludgrove was made extra special as we wore ‘Red for Ruth’ in support of the Ruth Strauss Foundation, a charity that supports bereaved families. #redforruth #endofanera #1stXIcricket

Looks like Ludgrove’s siblings are as competitive as the boys! Sports Day’s Siblings’ Races were cheered on with gusto by the families but it was the boys themselves who took on the roles of coaches and cheerleaders. #siblingsrace #sportsday #boysschool #berkshireprepschool

Leavers’ Day heralded the match of the year when the dads met their sons on the 1st XI pitch for the traditional Dads v Sons cricket match! With thrills and spills along the way (and lots of laughter) the Sons took the win. Thanks for a great match - what a way to sign off!

Ludgrove finished the term with the exciting news we have been shortlisted in the Independent Boys’ School category of the Independent School of the Year Awards 2025. Congratulations to all schools who have been nominated and good luck!#isoty2025
