Freddie Flintoff quickly became a fan of gullly cricket as our boys put him through his paces! "From a cricketing point of view, gully cricket was just so much fun. I’d never seen it or heard of it and couldn’t do it," Freddie explains. 'Field of Dreams On Tour' @BBCiPlayer
"Outstanding School Award"
We are honored to have received the prestigious Eastern India Leadership Award 2024. While our children are an incredible motivation, it's also special to receive recognition such as this. #eastindialeadershipawards #outstandingschoolaward
"Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success." Good words from Virat Kohli.
We've almost reached the end of exam week in school. Keep going kids!

Learning chess is a great way to develop super hero skills like problem solving, decision making and planning. It's always a delight when children go forward to represent Future Hope, and a team of eight have just played in the All Bengal FIDE Chess Championship. #Chess

We just completed the rowing season, with some highs and lows but smiles on our faces. We entered teams in school regattas @BengalRowing and Lake Rowing Club.
While we fell short of silverware, the experience for the children was invaluable. #rowing #opportunity #sport
