Bridgewater’s very important date

On Wednesday 18th June 2025, our Prep department took a joyful tumble down the rabbit hole and straight into the whimsical world of Wonderland, all in aid of Brain Tumour Research – a cause close to the heart of our school community.

In true ‘Mad Hatter’ style, pupils arrived at school proudly wearing their most imaginative hats – ranging from teacups and top hats to flamingo-feathered fascinators – bringing colour, creativity and no small amount of eccentricity to the front lawn. The only rule? There were no rules…unless of course it involved wearing a school uniform underneath.

Hosted on the lawn beneath (thankfully non-talking) trees, the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party was a celebration of fun, fundraising and friendship. Pupils were treated to a tea-time selection of snacks, including a refreshing ‘Drink Me’ beverage, and a selection of party games that kept the grins as wide as the Cheshire Cat’s.

The event also served as a joyful nod of support to Miss Armstrong, our intrepid Kindergarten teacher, who has spent the last 12 weeks swimming the equivalent of the English Channel to raise money for Brain Tumour Research. Her commitment and determination have inspired both staff and students alike.

The total amount raised from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party will be shared in due course, once all the Queen of Heart’s coins have been counted, but we are delighted that it has been a meaningful success.

Bridgewater School is proud to support Brain Tumour Research, and to instil in our pupils not only a sense of fun and creativity, but also of compassion and community spirit. After all, in the words of Lewis Carroll:

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

And at Bridgewater, turning imagination into action is never impossible.

We believe that individuals count. So we are interested in what makes us all different. Not just what makes us the same.
