Whole School Pre-Prep and Prep


The Pipers Corner School Harvest Festival took place on Wednesday 14 October. It began with an assembly led by School Chaplain, Revd Mary Gurr, during which the girls gave thanks for everything they have and reflected on how they can help those less fortunate than themselves. 

Each House brought forward a decorated hamper as a symbol of all the items that have been generously donated by the girls and their parents over the past few weeks.  All girls from Pre-Prep to Upper Sixth have been involved and have collected a variety of produce and household items to donate to their chosen charity.

  • Hampden House chose to support the “Wycombe Homeless Connection”.
  • Girls in Penn House donated gifts for the Oxford homeless.
  • Milton girls prepared hampers to be sent to the food bank “One Can Trust” in High Wycombe. A food bank dedicated to giving food to people deemed “in crises”.
  • Mandeville House followed their long-established practice of taking harvest baskets full of tins and packets of food to people in need in the local community and to Nancy Hall Court retirement home.

Headmistress, Mrs Helen Ness-Gifford said, “The Harvest Festival was a lovely occasion of celebration.  At Pipers we believe that the Harvest Festival provides an opportunity for the girls to look at ways in which they can support those less fortunate. I believe the generous gifts really make a different to the people who are supported by the House charities.”
