A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
This week the students have sat their final round of mock exams before the real thing in the summer. Despite some anxiety, the huge majority of students have come in and got stuck into their exams and were pleased to have had the opportunity to practice under real exam conditions once again. We are delighted to confirm that the Leavers Hoodies, as designed by the Year 11 House Captains, will be on sale via a highly recommended outside contractor ‘Hoodiehut’. The cost of the hoodies is £21.49 with the option to add initials on the front and or a name on the back for £3.00 each. Payment is taken directly by the company. The hoodies themselves have been designed by the Year 11 House Captains. For more information see the Waldegrave online shop. To avoid disappointment please get your orders in promptly as the final deadline is 10pm on Wednesday 2 April 2025. This deadline is final and non-negotiable, with the school unable to extend it beyond this. All parents/carers should have received an email with further information about the leavers hoodies on 14 February. We expect delivery in the final summer term ready for our leaver events. Next week the students will finish off their final Biology, Math’s, Chemistry and RE mock exams. Whilst Drama students will complete their practical component of their GCSE for which they have been preparing for all year. We will also have an assembly with Ms. Lane focused about Welsh culture for St David’s Day and settle back into the routine at Waldegrave.
Have a lovely weekend!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins
In a dystopian future, the capital holds annual games where one boy and one girl (aged 12-18) from each of the 12 districts is chosen to fight to the death in an arena. The games are televised and shown across the country as a reminder to the labourers in the district that they are powerless against the capital. When Katniss’ sister has her name called during the annual reaping, Katniss volunteers to take her place as a daring act of sacrifice. The contrast between the glamour of the capital and the harsh conditions of the districts is an eye opening com- mentary on the dangers of political corruption and capitalism.
