WELCOME
To Our Spring Magazine
Welcome to the Spring edition of the Waldegrave School Magazine. As you will see from the contents of the magazine, life at school is incredibly busy with many trips, workshops, competitions and visiting speakers which all help to bring our students’ learning to life. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, the unwavering support of our parents and guardians, and the exceptional commitment of our dedicated staff. Whilst we always want to ensure that we prepare our students to achieve their best in their qualifications, equally important is our desire to encourage their aspirations beyond school. We have had an incredibly busy schedule of speakers in school who have helped to broaden our students’ understanding of different career options, covering many different fields including medicine, politics, psychology and finance. We hope that hearing the diverse career paths of so many successful people will give them the confidence to pursue their own ambitions in the future. As I reflect on the past term, I’m filled with a sense of immense pride at what our students have achieved. You will also see how they have seized the opportunities offered to develop their skills and talents, whether they be artists, writers, performers, mathematicians, athletes or orators. The energy and teamwork on the sports field have been truly commendable, and the creativity showcased in our art and design exhibition has been breathtaking. As ever the Waldegrave community has come together this term to support others in need. This week I received a letter of thanks from Macmillan Cancer support as over the years Waldegrave has raised over £10,000 for the charity, which is phenomenal. Today we have held a fundraiser for Unicef to support their work to improve the lives of children everywhere either through emergency aid or investment in health and education. I would like to thank our families for their generous support for such good causes. As we break up for the holidays I would like to wish all our families a wonderful spring and hope that everyone enjoys and is energised by the longer days, better weather and signs of new life blossoming.
