Waldegrave School Autumn Magazine 2023

Our Year 12 Drop Down Day was designed to prepare our students for the academic journey that lies ahead of them. This day served as an opportunity for our students to explore academic and professional landscapes, offering them a window into the world of Higher Education and careers. The day was marked by a series of taster lectures delivered by visiting academics from local universities, including St. Mary's, Roehampton, and Royal Holloway. These passionate educators offered a taste of what university lectures entail, immersing our students in the world of Higher Education. As they engaged with these lectures, they found themselves inspired by the depth and variety of degree courses available, setting the stage for informed decisions about their future academic pursuits. But the day didn’t end there; it was also a window into the professional world. A careers networking event gathered experts from various fields including Marketing, Charities, the Army and Criminal Defence Solicitors. Each speaker shared their experiences and insights, offering a valuable glimpse into the array of career paths that await beyond school. The students left with newfound knowledge and a broader perspective, paving the way for them to consider exciting and diverse career possibilities they may not have contemplated before. We are extremely grateful to the parents who volunteered to support this event.
