A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
It has been wonderful to welcome Year 10 back to Waldegrave as they enter KS4. The majority of students have started the term really positively, and seem to have a very proactive mindset in regards to starting their GCSEs. This week in form time we gradually re-introduced clubs and extracurricular activities to the year group. We do encourage students to continue to get involved in the life of the school outside of their usual lessons. Music club taster week started on Monday giving students an opportunity to try a new instrument that they have never played before. A great opportunity to try something new! This week we also had the Year 10 information evening. Hopefully all parents and guardians who attended found this useful, as we went through the key changes and what to expect now your child is in Key stage 4. Congratulations to Elise Bay in 10STH who was awarded the Youth Long Distance Cup at Hampton Sailing club this summer in very windy conditions. A real achievement! Well done to all students as well who have already received epraise points from their teachers. I look forward to you achieving many more! A reminder as students get back into the school routine that uniform needs to be correct. Students should only wear one stud earring in each ear and necklaces can be worn but underneath school jumpers so that they are not seen. A reminder as well that false eyelashes, false nails/nail polish and nose studs are not permitted. Next week on Wednesday 18 September we will have the final set of school photographs for our cohort. Please can we ask that you help support us upholding the uniform policy as above. Thank you in advance for your support.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
A feminist, LGBT reimagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, this novel gives a back story and humanity to the soulless vampire women in the original novel, exploring where they might have come from and their lives before. It follows the lives of seventeen-year-old Lil and her twin sister Kizzy, when they are captured and enslaved by the cruel Boyar Valcar, taken far away from their beloved traveller community. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a gothic, tense story.
