    Updating the classic Chalet School series, this book reimagines the lives of its characters in a contemporary setting filled with sex, drugs, and the challenges of modern life, including references to significant historical events like Vietnam and the Falklands War. While the original series featured heroines destined to marry royalty or professionals, this retelling introduces a fresh, provocative perspective on their journeys, reflecting current societal issues and the complexities of adulthood.

    CHALET GIRLS GROW UP
  • The girls and staff of the Chalet School are seeking a refuge from the growing threat of Nazism. Austria has become part of Germany and the Chalet School has had to leave the country—some members more precipitately than others. Luckily there are people in Guernsey who are waiting to welcome them as they arrive on the island. They make friends, a long-awaited wedding is celebrated and Joey and Jack set up their first house together. There is birth, and death, parting and reunion and though the school itself is in abeyance its spirit lives on. As war clouds gather everyone hopes that the Chalet School can once more open its doors to pupils and work and serve in an uncertain world.A Refuge for the Chalet School is set during the ‘missing’ chapters of The Chalet School in Exile

    A Refuge for the Chalet School
  • The Chalet School has been experiencing a difficult patch, as an unsatisfactory Head Girl has greatly weakened the influence of the Prefects. In the Third Form, young Betsy Lucy is determined to marshal her cohorts in defence of law and order—but what can she do, with the bulk of the Middles all set to resist authority to the top of their bent? Meanwhile, the two Headmistresses have reluctantly decided that a change of Head Girl is the only way forward, and Peggy Burnett finds herself with the unenviable task of re-establishing peaceful discipline in her final term at the School. Miss Wilson departs on an educational tour, leaving the Staff fully stretched, and Peggy has to contend with a split among the Prefects in addition to her other troubles. Add to this a new girl for the Third Form with something to hide, schoolgirl pranks and an all too thrilling half-term trip, and Betsy has her work cut out as she struggles to rally the younger girls in support of Peggy’s reforms. But right prevails in the end, and Betsy is recognised by all as a champion of the Chalet School.

Accustomed to the adulation of the younger girls, who admire her vivid personality and Irish good looks, not to mention her reputation for outrageous pranks, she struggles to adjust to her new environment, not helped by some unexpected changes in her home circumstances.

  • How did Joey Bettany get on at school on her very first day at Taverton High? Why did Dick Bettany take up work with the Forestry in India instead of following his father into the Army? Who helped Sybil Russell develop into a responsible young woman, after the shock of Josette’s accident? Did Grizel Cochrane ever come to terms with the failure of her teaching career? These and many other questions find answers in Helen Barber’s delightful set of short stories, all set in and around the world of the Chalet School. In the course of this book, Helen clearly demonstrates how the values shared by the Bettany family permeate the School which they founded, and constantly ripple out into the wider world inhabited by its pupils, old and new. Christmas with the Bettanys—high jinks in the dormitory—an unwise game during prep—a visit to the school dentist—this rich mixture of family stories and school stories spans the whole spectrum of the Chalet School and before, and leaves the reader with a real sense of having once again inhabited the Chalet School world. All stories in this book are completely new, written especially for this collection.
