Special events are organised throughout the year to celebrate the school as a community of children and adults. In the Autumn term, Harvest Festival is celebrated by the whole school and gifts are sent to local charities. The Old Girls' Tea provides an opportunity for Year 7 pupils to revisit the school and keep in contact with each other. On the School Birthday, special activities and workshops are organised to celebrate the reopening of the school in the new building in October 1998.

Christmas is marked by a pudding ‘stir-up' and wishing, decorating the Christmas tree and a special lunch for staff, governors and pupils together. The parents organise a Christmas Fair which involves the whole school community in an afternoon of fun and activity, with Father Christmas in attendance, of course.

Every third year there is a reunion of over two hundred old girls ranging in age from nineteen to seventy-five. Our choirs sing regularly at the Court Service at Mercers' Hall and girls join in the Lord Mayor's show procession in the City, as part of the Mercers' Company float.

In the summer term a fun quiz afternoon is held for girls from Year 3 to Year 6. Later in the term, the school is thrown open for Sports Day and Open Day, when the girls have the opportunity to celebrate their sporting and academic achievements and prospective parents may see around the school. Sports Day incorporates a very lively Summer Fair with such activities as a bouncy castle, apple ducking, hanging doughnuts, football target and "bash the rat" all alongside steel bands, magicians, Pimms and hog roasts (as well as traditional races, of course).

Every other year, the girls welcome their grandparents (or elderly friends, relatives or neighbours, in the absence of a grandparent) into the school and provide tea, flowers and entertainment for these very important people. The visitors are met at the door by Reception pupils who present bouquets and escort the guests to the garden to mingle with the older pupils if the weather is sunny. After everyone comes into the hall, every girl sings for her grandparents, either in class groups or in one of the choirs, then tea is served. The girls have made this at home and so there is a wonderful array of goodies for everyone to enjoy. After tea Year One come in with little gifts of sweets or chocolates to present, thus ensuring that all grannies go home with flowers and grandpas with a sweet treat.

This event is much appreciated by all the participants, the children because they love to welcome their grandparents into school and the guests because it is a special event just for them (parents not allowed!). It is a pleasure to watch the generations chat and enjoy each other's company. Some grandparents travel great distances in order to join their granddaughters on this happy afternoon.

The school has hosted the very successful SATIPS National Prep Schools Art Exhibition on two occasions, exhibiting work sent in by eighty schools and welcoming school parties and other guests to view the exhibition over a full week. The two grand opening Ceremonies attended by one hundred invited guests have been opened in 2006 by Sir Peter Blake CBE and in 2007 by David Shepherd OBE.

The Master of the Mercers' Company visits the school each year and is welcomed enthusiastically by the girls who are fascinated by his badge of office on which is the Mercers' Maiden. They also love to hear that Dick Whittington was a Mercer.

We invite a large number of senior schools, both boarding and day, to a Senior Schools Fair every other year; this gives prospective parents the opportunity of talking to representatives from a wide range of schools in order to help them with their decision-making for their daughter's future education.
