HEADTEACHER’S WELCOME MESSAGE
Welcome to the second Spring Edition of the Waldegrave Magazine. I hope that you enjoy reading about some of the varied activities our students had the opportunity to take part in recently. You can even enjoy listening to our choir performing at the end of last term and learn about stage fighting in the embedded video clips. We know that at this age our students are discovering new passions so it is wonderful to be able to celebrate the achievements of our students both in school and outside of school. Students from Year 7 to 13 have taken part in many competitions, ranging from the A Level Chemistry Olympiad to the Year 7 and 8 Easter Bonnet Parade, one of my personal favourites! On a daily basis I am impressed by the creativity of our students and seeing the wonderful ideas and collaboration demonstrated by the Year 8 students when designing their entries for the City of Tomorrow competition makes me confident that our future is in safe hands. Our students' passions also extend to causes that matter to them. It was wonderful to see our community come together in response to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria last term and then again for Red Nose Day. So far this year we have raised nearly £6000 pounds for charities and our Year 7 are currently fundraising for Lepra. Finally, I am delighted that we had our first overseas trip for a number of years, with our A Level language students enjoying a trip to Berlin. As we head into the summer term, we look forward to more trips both overseas and more locally.
