A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
The Year11 Prom took place just over 2 weeks ago and it was a wonderful event for all. The prom committee did a great job on leading the organisation of the event. They decorated the venue with blue and silver balloons for the ‘City of stars’ theme and voted on and created a special playlist to remember their time at Waldegrave. Our Year 11 looked absolutely spectacular as they arrived and posed for photographs on the steps of the grand staircase of Richmond Golf Club. It was really nice to witness the joy and excitement of our students seeing staff, many of whom were there to welcome them when they arrived. There was just a great atmosphere throughout the evening for this final celebration to mark the end of their secondary school journey. See overleaf for some of the photos from the evening and don’t forget to take a look at the School Magazine out next Friday for more photos and events from this past term including Dress Up Day, the Leavers Assemby and many more. We wish all the students a wonderful summer break and look forward to seeing them on results day on Thursday 21st August.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘A Room of One’s Own’, by Virginia Woolf
This poetically powerful extended essay takes readers on a journey through the history of female writers, as we witness first hand the barriers of structural inequality placed in the path of the female sex. This cornerstone of feminist literature beautifully explores the immense power of personal and feminist interpretation, which cannot be recreated by males with complete literary freedom and space. Woolf’s examination of the patriarchal bookshelves, which leave no room for female narrative voices, ignites a desire to shine a light upon the women who broke the locks placed on literary conventions, finally enabling women to write fiction of their own without interruption. Reading this will transform how you perceive the role of the female voice in literature today.
