Happy 50th birthday...to us! Yes, it was September 1975 when Hardenhuish School officially opened its doors. Our week-long celebration takes place in a couple of weeks, including our Open Morning on Saturday 20th, but before that there's the current school year to get started.
A few more Hardenhuish50 features as we reach the end of term: our booklet looking at the history of the school is ready for September, a lovely display in the House and a poster promoting our Open Morning on 20th September.
Our final Top 10 update for 2024-2025 as we break up for the summer. 'Play' retains its position as most borrowed for term 6, just ahead of two Holly Jackson novels and a bunch of fellow Carnegie titles. Over 5000+ loans this year once again - wishing everyone a relaxing summer!
These drone photos taken yesterday turned out even better than we could have imagined. A wonderful way to start our Hardenhuish 50 celebrations.
Another gloriously sunny Open Evening for prospective Year 5 students and parents - make sure you come to the library to take a look at what our Book Group have been reading this year, enjoy a calm moment on a beanbag, get some recommendations or just browse our 14,000 books!
Our 50th birthday celebrations stepped up a notch this morning. Over 1000 students and staff involved plus a drone to hopefully capture an iconic moment in front of Hardenhuish House....the final picture will be unveiled soon....

Solidarity with my school librarian colleagues in Glasgow, whose roles are under threat. School librarians don’t just provide access to books - we provide community and space for our pupils to discover themselves and their interests. change.org/p/save-our-sch…
This week has mainly been spent creating our library display on '50 Years of Hardenhuish'. Huge thanks to Year 13 Verity for all her help. Some wonderful memories from the Grammar/Girls School days through the Alderman, Smith and Hatherell years and finally up to 2025.
Please see the attached Headlines post for some exciting initial details about our 'Hardenhuish at 50' celebrations later this year. If you're an ex-pupil and want to contribute in any way (memories, memorabilia etc.) please do get in touch! hardenhuish.wilts.sch.uk/archives/5532

Carnegie medal for writing: Margaret McDonald named youngest ever winner. The 27-year-old’s prizewinning debut, Glasgow Boys, is a coming-of-age novel about the friendship between two boys who have grown up in the care system. #Carnegies2025 theguardian.com/books/2025/jun…
Today was an exciting day watching our colleague/teacher be part of the Carnegie awards ceremony and we are all so proud of @lcpalmerpoet for making one of the strongest shortlists for many years. We thoroughly enjoyed the shadowing as always. Starting 'Live' this evening now...

🎉 Congratulations to the 2025 Winners of the Carnegie Medals for Writing and Illustration, and Shadowers' Choice Medals: Margaret McDonald, @NateLessore, Theo Parish and Olivia Lomenech Gill! #Carnegies2025 Read the press release: carnegies.co.uk/2025-winners-a…
All set to cheer on Mr Palmer as we watch the 2025 Carnegie ceremony as part of our shadowing day of activities! An incredibly strong shortlist this year.
A bumper selection of myths, legends and epic fantasy novels this lunchtime for our Hardenhuish Book Group to enjoy this term, also linking nicely with our Cross-Curricular Day next week.

On #EmpathyDay, as we absorb sobering findings from @Literacy_Trust, we highlight reading for empathy as a fresh approach to tackle the reading for pleasure crisis: a powerful way to change how young people perceive, and engage with, reading. For more: loom.ly/pZbzXMo
This week we've welcomed our Chinese visitors from Suzhou, continued with Carnegie shadowing, started Year 12s off on their History projects and concluded our Primary Liaison programme for another year. Plenty of new titles added as well, including these annual university guides
Catching up with an old friend of the library: still one of our favourite moments hosting Henry Olonga as part of his visit to Hardenhuish back in the spring of 2012.
A 'blink and you miss it' term of just 23 school days but another 550+ loans with the Carnegie shortlist dominating borrowing this time. 'Play' by Luke Palmer is our new number 1. Is this a sign ahead of the awards day coming up in mid-June...?
