A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
It has been a very busy couple of weeks back at Waldegrave for our Year 11s. I hope they had a productive half term preparing for their mocks but also found some time to rest. We are very proud and impressed by the way Year 11 have conducted themselves during the mock exam process. Their attitude during the exams means that they have made every effort to perform at their best. We hope that this positive approach pays off when they receive their results and feedback as to how they performed in the exams. We are aware that some students may not achieve the results they were hoping for, but the Year 11 pastoral team along with subject teachers will be on hand to support students and reassure them that this is a process that is designed to ensure students are prepared for the summer exams.
Today our Waldegrave community commemorated Remembrance Day. A group of students played the Last Post live around the school, followed by the whole school observing a minute’s silence in respect for those that have fought in conflicts to defend our freedom and protect our way of life.
Last week our Year 10/11 Netball team had a tough match vs Christ’s. Although the team didn’t win, we were all impressed with the incredible teamwork and resilience that was shown. Well done to Milly V for receiving player of the match.
The Netball team are keeping busy, having played against Turing House yesterday. A report on their performance will be mentioned in next week’s bulletin. They will also be taking part in the rearranged Netball tournament next Thursday. I would like to wish them all the best of luck, we look forward to hearing how they get on.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Tender is the night - F.Scott Fitzgerald
“I want to give a really BAD party. I mean it. I want to give a party where there’s a brawl and seductions and people going home with their feelings hurt and women passed out in the cabinet de toilette. You wait and see.” Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a classic novel set in the 1920s in the French Riviera. Like his more famous novel, The Great Gatsby, it follows the lives of the elite as they strive for influence and power in a changing world. If you want a challenging but rewarding read, I highly recommend this book and Fitzgerald’s other works.
