It was fantastic to see our friends from Feltonfleet Prep School last week.

Our schools share a unique bond that goes back to WWII, when children from Feltonfleet in Surrey were evacuated to North Perrot Manor, the home of Major Hoskyns, here in Somerset.

When the children returned to their families in early 1945, Major Hoskyns decided to lease the manor house so that it could be used as a school, rather than return to his family seat – a decision that marked the start of Perrott Hill.

Today, we keep that friendship alive by hosting an annual programme of events, from friendly sports matches to the famous Haddock Cup cross-country race. This year we had the addition of a rather bracing slip and slide!

Here’s to many more years of friendship and fun.
