A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
Year 11 have been doing really well in their lessons, engaging positively and working well with their teachers This week we had the Year 11 information evening which both parents/guardians and students were welcome to attend. This covered key dates, curriculum information and links to sources of support. All the core subjects also listed useful revision resources which students can also use at home. The powerpoint is available on our website here for you to refer back to. Our assembly this week was led by Ms Lewis who introduced Waldegrave’s new Book Champions Initiative. We now have dedicated student ‘book champions’ in every year group, who will help spread the love of reading throughout the school. These students also took part in the assembly, presenting their favorite books speaking about their love of reading. Hopefully this will inspire more Year 11 students to pick up a book and read! Congratulations to 11PGU for getting the most e-praise points this week. They are closely followed by 11SPI. Don’t forget we have a fantastic photography competition running this term, it would be great to see lots of entries from Year 11. Please see page three of the bulletin for more information and details of how to enter. Students are reminded to bring a reading book in every Wednesday for ‘Reading Wednesdays’. They can borrow one from the library if they don’t have one at home. If students have chromebooks then they should also bring these in every day. We do not have enough here at school to lend to all students, as the Chromebooks here are reserved for students who do not have their own. Students can leave chromebooks in their lockers and then take them home to recharge. Thank you and 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!
