September almost feels like a new year. The school run is back on and there’s that familiar sense of fresh beginnings in the air, long after we have finished with packed lunches, tests and essays. Fittingly, our biggest feature this month is a 18-page education special (from p29), looking at local schools and everything they offer from top exam results and academic achievements to pastoral care, extra-curricular opportunities and new head teachers.We cover everything from early years and nurseries up to further and higher education at college.
As families settle back into routines, The Food Wife has created some brilliant recipes (p23) that are perfect for busy weekdays, while younger readers can enjoy another Wildlife Watch adventure with Wiltshire Wildlife Trust (p46), discovering more about the amazing nature on
our doorstep.
Our cover story takes us to Longleat for Icons of the Sky (p20), a spectacular event that’s set to wow visitors with an unforgettable display. Whether you’re a regular visitor or planning a family day out, it’s one you won’t want to miss.
And if September already feels a little hectic, we’ve found the perfect antidote. We visit the newly refurbished and completely reimagined spa at Bishopstrow Hotel (p21) to see how this beautiful retreat has been transformed into an even more luxurious place to unwind.
As always, thank you for reading and supporting local businesses, events and communities. Enjoy!
