Delighted to welcome Pratik Gurung to the school from the Gurkha Welfare Trust. Mr Gurung spoke to Charity Prefects about the trust and its work both in the UK and Nepal. The trust is  one of the school's three charities for this year, along with Frimley Park Hospital Children's Ward and Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. The long term school charity is Kids for Kids. Next week's mufti day will see all four charities benefiting from money raised from students and staff .

Ten out of ten for Gordon’s teachers who have been awarded all ten PTI Marks, which acknowledge a challenging curriculum, enthusing students through co-curricular subject-based activities, enriching teachers’ own subject knowledge and encouraging subject links. The Art, D&T, English, Geography, History, Maths, MFL, Music, PE and Science departments have been awarded the Mark in recognition of their achievement across these four key development areas which place subject at the heart of teaching. In addition, Gordon’s leadership team has been awarded The PTI Leadership Mark for 2026 for driving and supporting the improvement of education for all students regardless of background or ability.

Last touches to the carrot cake by Head of Catering Rainy Pullen, while elsewhere in the school’s kitchen there are rock cakes baking and delicious ingredients being mixed for today’s fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support. Prospective parents and their children will be invited to donate to the charity at today’s Open Event. This afternoon, school parents will be able to enjoy their home-made cakes in the dining hall before exeat pick up. If you aren’t able to enjoy the cakes, tea and coffee with Gordon’s today, please consider donating via this link.

A textbook lesson in how to organise almost 1,000 students, in height order, before they head for a stand, along with hundreds of staff, to have their photograph taken! The whole-school photograph takes place once every four years.

National success for Gordon’s golfers with some outstanding individual performances. At the SSGT National U18 Scratch Tournament, the team finished in first place, recording incredible individual performances from Jake, Zach and Harry. Their three scores out of four together equalled an even scratch score, 11 shots clear of second place Stowe School. Jake won the Individual Scratch Tournament with -2 par round 70 having started his round with back-to-back bogies and then shooting seven birdies up to hole 15 to reach -5 par. Zach finished third, one shot behind with an under par -1 round 71. Harry and Seb finished sixth and seventh respectively. In the SSGT National U18 Strokeplay Championships at Royal Ashdown Forest GC, Gordon’s finished in third place. Congratulations to all the golfers!
