Warwick School

Once again Warwick School came away from the RoboCup Junior UK finals as Champions.  This year we entered two teams into the secondary rescue competition.  In this competition a robot has to navigate a two storey building and detect victims along the way whilst at the same time coping with obstacles and debris.  The team, consisting of Rhys Patten, Cameron Imray and Junade Ali, were using this competition for research purposes and it was encouraging to see their robot develop throughout the day.

On Saturday 6th March, Warwick School held the 41st Warwick Sevens tournament with 1000 boys competing across the age groups from U12-U16.

Six prefects spent a morning at Marks and Spencer in Leamington Spa, packing bags to raise money for two very worthy causes ; Zoe’s Place in Coventry, a care centre for babies and infants with a range of illnesses and for Help For Heroes, supporting wounded soldiers.  The support for Help for Heroes, was in memory of Joe Whittaker OW who died in Afghanistan last year, aged 20.     

Pupils have raised an impressive £4000 for the charity, Habitat for Humanity and their work in Haiti.

Twenty four local primary schools have taken part in the annual "Exhibition of Young Local Artists" at Warwick School which attracted a wide range of visitors.
