Y11 LEAVERS Year 11 students capped off a memorable year with the school’s standout annual tradition, ‘Dress Up Day,’ before they knuckled down to their GCSEs. Each year, Year 11 students set the bar high with innovative outfits, many of which are hand constructed and decorated. This year, the school’s corridors were crowded with the cast of The Inbetweeners, the Toy Story gang, fairies, Minions, Disney princesses, and villains and much more. The staff also joined in, dress- ing in ‘Waldegrave School uniform’ to enter into the spirit of the day!
The celebrations for the day culminated with an entertaining game of benchball against their teachers, with the teachers winning 2-1, much to the dismay of the students, before finishing in style with a costume parade. The students were all competing for the coveted title of either individual or group winner for the ‘Best Dressed’ as judged by some of the senior leadership team and the winners from the previous year. It was a closely fought contest, but Cat Woman, played by Nyasha S, won the individual category, with Shrek, portrayed by Eliza T, as the runner-up. In the group category, the competition was fierce with ‘Grand Prix’ as the runners-up, featuring Mia B D, Aleena C, Amy H-J, Madiha M, Lucy R, Masooma K, and Tilly L. The winners in this category were ‘Ant & Seb’ from The X Factor fame, performed by Isabel J and Islay D. Headteacher Ms. Tongue remarked, “It was wonderful to be able to celebrate our Year 11s this week. As they start their exams, it is so important that our students know that everyone at home and school is working together to support them.”
