A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
It has been lovely to meet my new year group, they are all extremely enthusiastic and eager to learn. I have heard so many positive comments from teachers about what a great start they have all been mak- ing.
As a reminder, if students wish to change courses, they have to make sure that they arrange to meet with me no later than Friday 19th September. After that date, changes won’t be possible.
It was lovely to meet and see so many of you at the key information evening on Tuesday. The presenta- tion is now on the Waldegrave website, if you missed any information at the event or were unable to attend. Later this term the school’s Performing Arts Team will be directing a performance of My Fair Lady. We are looking for donations of black, white or black & white hats/fascinators, in any condition, shape or size, as we will be decorating and modifying these. Please hand in any donations at Reception.
Thank you and have a lovely weekend!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Island of Missing Trees, Elif Shafak
‘The Island of Missing Trees’ weaves history, memory, and nature into a powerful story of love and loss. Set between war-torn Cyprus and present-day London, it explores the marks conflict leaves on the lives of the characters, with a fig tree entwined through this narrative. Shafak’s storytelling is deeply human, highlighting the pain of displacement and the resilience of identity. This novel is both moving and thought-provoking, poignantly discussing how generational trauma is instilled in our lives today.
