A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
Last Friday was a fantastic final sports day for our Year 10s. They exceeded all expectations, breaking Waldegrave’s sporting records in four events and showing the rest of the school how loud team cheers can be! The house captains did an excellent job encouraging house spirit throughout the school. This week Year 10 have been on work experience. Hopefully they have found this really valuable, gaining an insight into the world of work and the careers they might want to pursue in the future. Congratulations to all students for completing their Year 10 exams. We know that many students found this challenging, but we do hope that the experience of being in the sports hall and doing assessments in timed conditions will really be helpful to them when they come to the real GCSEs. Students will start receiving feedback for this when they come back from work experience where subject teachers will be giving marks and ideas for how to improve in the future. We now have only two more weeks left of the summer term. Students are reminded of the importance of
continuing to work hard in their lessons so that they can
finish Year 10 on a high! Have a lovely weekend!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘King of Nothing’ by Nathanael Lessore
I really really really enjoyed this book! I specifically enjoyed how realistic and actually quite intense it was towards the end. The characters are all written so well. For example I really like how you can tell Anton is not as bad as Kehinde from the start when he kind of defended Mathew when Kehinde was about to give him a hard time. The scene where Mathew and Anton are at a sleepover and they’re talking about his nan made me cry! It was just so wholesome and the boys’ unexpected friendship is such a lovely part of the book. I will definitely suggest this book to people in the future!
