Bryan参加了2022年格洛斯特郡年度青年音乐家大赛，并在决赛中获得了一席之地，但遗憾的是，由于生病不得不退出比赛。Bryan还喜欢在学院管弦乐队中演奏巴松管，并在学院的合唱团中担任贝斯手。除了音乐，Bryan还是男学生会副会长，对工程和哲学有着浓厚的兴趣，还喜欢划船。明年，他将在伦敦帝国理工学院学习工程学，他也希望在那里继续学习钢琴，达到钢琴演奏的最高的水平。
A memorable half term
A memorable half term
Staying with a host family offers and unparalleled opportunity for children to immerse themselves in a different culture, traditions and way of live, as well as enjoy some home comforts not available at school.
One of the most rewarding aspects of staying with a host family is the opportunity to build long lasting friendships. The bond between students and their host family goes beyond a holiday and can be a lifelong connection. The May half term offers a chance for students to discover treasures in their host family’s local community. From local festivals and unique attractions to traditional activities with their host family as an enthusiastic guide. These experiences create lasting memories for both the hosts and the students.
Here is what some of our students got up to with their host families this half term…
Matthew, Aidan, Jamie and Charlie study at Port Regis Preparatory and Sherborne Preparatory School. Their host families met up during half term and the boys had great fun playing in a friend’s swimming pool.
Akira from Kingswood School went sightseeing in the beautiful city of Wells in Somerset with his host family.
Ethan from Christ’s Hospital School joined in special birthday celebrations with his host family.
Koi and Michelle from Roedean School making pizzas with all their favourite toppings,
Austin and Ian from Sherborne School went with their host family for a tennis lesson
Wesley and Euan joined their host family Emma, to her personal training session and had great fun as trainer Ant put everyone through their paces.
Ryoma and Yanbo from Cothill House School visited Cotswold Wildlife Park and even had the opportunity to have a go at falconry.
Marco from Christ’s Hospital School enjoyed playing table tennis with host family.
Rosalyn from Brighton College celebrated her 17th birthday with her host family who baked her a delicious chocolate cake.
Jamie from Sherborne Preparatory School visited Avebury Manor, a 16th century manor house in Wiltshire.
Jothur from Queen Ethelburga’s College made his host family a wonderful meal of Hong Kong Chicken.
Alex and Cici from Ellesmere College visited Rhosneigr Beach on Anglesey in North Wales with their host family.
May Half Term Camp
Pippa's Camp Diaries
Dear Parents and Guardians...
The Pippa’s Camps team arrived at Sherborne International School to glorious sunshine where they eagerly awaited the students arrivals.
The camp is organised by Camp Director Louise Hughes (centre) Camp Coordinator Jodie Godliman (right) and Chinese Liaison Officer Eden Yang (left).
The majority of our students attending this camp are preparing for GCSE, A level or Common Entrance examinations as so the focus is heavily on study and revision this time around. We have a variety of excellent tutors onsite to support students during this important time in the academic year.
Day One
We kicked off the first day of our half term camp with a study skills workshop which was led by Mr Adib Badri from Eton College.
This interactive workshop looked at:
How to be an effective learner
How and when to revise
Successful study techniques
Later in the day we headed over to the classrooms for self study sessions. Those who wanted to take a break from study, joined a game of football and basketball.
After supper, some students retired to their bedrooms for online lessons or further revision, others took advantage of some social time, competing in a table tennis tournament.
Day Two
Whilst our camps help students maximise every study opportunity, we do also recognise the importance of rest and relaxation to aid successful learning. On Sunday morning students could therefore remain in their bedrooms during the morning if they wished. Some of our students studied in their bedrooms, some enjoyed basketball in the sunshine, whilst others simply had a lie in, ready to focus in the afternoon study sessions.
Every afternoon we offer students a choice of activities if they wish to take a break from their school work. Sunday afternoon’s choices were indoor climbing, football, art (glass painting) and badminton.
Later in the evening, our students divided into teams to compete in a scavenger hunt, using their problem solving skills to race to the finish.
Day Three
On Monday morning our camp tutors arrived in the study centre ready to support our students. Academic consultations were available for mathematics, french, spanish, arabic, german, physics, chemistry and biology.
Our choice of activities for the afternoon included swimming, basketball, netball and tag rugby. Although many of our hardworking students opted to remain in the study centre.
Day Four
Our camp tutors returned to the study centre providing academic consultations and 1:1 support in mathematics, english, french, spanish, arabic, german, physics, chemistry and biology.
Our choice of activities for the afternoon included tennis, badminton, gym, climbing and music practice. Students were also able to remain in the study centre and revise if they wanted to.
In the evening, our students cooled off from the sunny weather with an ice cream and movie night.
Day Five
Our camp tutors returned to the study centre providing academic consultations and 1:1 support in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
After our morning study sessions, some of our students joined a guided tour of Sherborne Abbey. A beautiful and historic building founded in 705AD. We then enjoyed an ice cream before heading back to camp.
We also had a cookery and biscuit decorating class with some tasty treats for all the students to enjoy.
Day Six
Our students have been making the most of the camp tutors. From revision of tricky subjects, past papers and proof reading to conversation practice and essay writing.
Many students joined our optional shopping trip today to Clarks village where they also enjoyed ice creams and bubble tea.
It was a warm evening so we had lots of fun playing water dodgeball outside on the lawn.
Day Seven
Science tuition was available for students during their final study session as this was by far the most popular subject requested during camp. Academic consultations and past papers were available all morning.
In the afternoon students who were not studying played netball or enjoyed a textiles lesson outside on the lawn where they designed and created their own pillowcases. We also had students go to their music centre to practice their instruments.
Day Eight
During our final full day at camp, some students took advantage of a lie in so they could return to school rested. Others who were early risers went to the school gym or studied.
Later that afternoon students played badminton and tennis or showed their talents in an art class.
On Saturday we were celebrating a student’s birthday, so our final evening was a joint farewell and birthday party. We had party games and music in the hall for students with prizes for the winners of the games.
Day Nine
Students bid each other a fond farewell as they departed camp to return to their own schools. New friendships had been formed and we hope they will reunite at the next Pippa’s camp.
Pippa’s Annual Conference: Elevating Excellent Service
We recently hosted our annual two day conference for all of our staff members at the Tewkesbury Park Hotel. Our annual conference serves as an opportunity to inspire and motivate our dedicated team, whilst also emphasising the importance of excellent service. With a line up of fantastic guest speakers, the conference aimed to empower the staff, enhance their skills and further encourage our culture of excellent customer service.
Over 40 colleagues, including the Head Office team and our Area Managers from across the country, gathered together fostering a sense of unity among the team with everyone motivated to provide exceptional care and guidance to the students and parents they serve. It also reinforced our commitment to service, empowering our staff to go above and beyond in their roles.
Recognising that service excellence is at the core of our mission to support and guide children, we sought to equip our staff with the tools and mindset required to exceed our customers expectations.
The conference was opened by Pippa’s Managing Director, Ben Hughes, who updated staff on the progress the business has made as well as outlining exciting plans for the future. Whilst excellent Guardianship remains central to all that we strive to achieve, the development of a portfolio of high-quality complementary products and new services will further support the needs of our customers in the coming years.
To infuse the conference with valuable insights and inspiration we also invited a group of esteemed guest speakers who have a wealth of knowledge in their respective fields. These speakers shared their experiences, wisdom and practical advice on achieving and sustaining service excellence.

A standing ovation
Bryan joined Pippa’s Guardians for his last year at College and has required the stability of great local host families. During his Upper Sixth he built good relations with two host families who have marvelled at his dedication to his piano, his academics and sports.
Bryan started playing the piano at the age of 4 when his parents signed him up for piano lessons. Bryan never had a huge interest in the piano at a young age, until he was introduced to Chopin’s Nocturne No.2 in C sharp minor for his grade 7 piano. From then on he continued to complete his Grade 8 piano and worked on various different pieces by Beethoven, Brahms, Scarlatti and Gershwin before starting the Tchaikovsky Piano concerto.
On 2 May 2023, Bryan performed Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto no. 1 as part of Cheltenham College Great Piano Concertos. Bryan was one of three talented Upper Sixth soloists performing with Cheltenham College Sinfonietta. Both host families and Bryan’s Area Manager, Sarah Davies were able to support him and attend this concert and proudly witness the standing ovation he received for his performance.
He entered the Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year Competition in 2022, gaining a place in the final; though sadly had to withdraw due to illness. Bryan also enjoys playing the bassoon in the College orchestras and singing in College’s Schola Cantorum as a bass. In addition to music, Bryan is Deputy Head boy, has a keen interest in Engineering and Philosophy, and enjoys rowing as his College sport. He has a place to study engineering at Imperial College, London next year, where he also hopes to continue his study of the piano at the highest level.
Bryan with Head of Music David Mckee

Easter 2023
Many of our students were fortunate enough to be able to travel home for the Easter holiday this year. The Pippa’s travel team helped coordinate their safe journeys to the airport and we have Pippa’s Area Managers at the airports during busy periods to support and assist students when needed.
For those who remained in the UK, we arranged some wonderful Pippa’s host families to welcome them and ensure they had a restful and enjoyable Easter break.
Here are a few photos of what some of our students got up to over the Easter holidays.
Julie & Rose (Pippa’s Area Managers) at the airport
Cici and Mico both attend Shrewsbury School. They travelled home for Easter but returned a few days before school started so they stayed with a host family for a few days and enjoyed baking. They learned how to make pastry and made an apple cake.
Sophia spent her Easter break from Millfield school with her host family. They took her to London where they visited the Natural History Museum and China town. They had a wonderful time and helped each other learn how to navigate the London Underground around the city.
Jenny studies at King’s College Taunton. Her dream was to go and see one of her favourite bands perform live. Accompanied by Gemma, her Pippa’s Area Manager her dream came true this Easter as she watched them perform in London.
Andy from Shrewsbury School was able to spend time with his parents who were visiting the UK. They invited Polly, Andy’s host family, to join them for dinner at a hot pot restaurant in Birmingham where they had their own noodle maker.
