Belonging Week is the new name for what has traditionally been known as Activities Week. With this change of name, we believe that the programme better reflects life at Warwick School, and the fact that belonging is a core aspect of the school community.

Certainly, we feel a sense of belonging when we feel connected to others and when we feel that our presence and contributions are valued, and this is what we want to emphasise during the week.

Belonging Week will give students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of engaging activities, local trips, and national and international expeditions. These opportunities are designed to push students beyond the confines of the school curriculum and provide them with lasting memories, whilst empowering them foster collaboration, develop character, and serve others in an intentional way.

Whilst many of the important features of Activities Week will remain, this year, we are also looking to prioritise and champion the value of service, both within our school community and in reaching out and serving primary schools and other organisations in Warwick and beyond. This new focus on service has implications for the way that belonging week will be structured, and many of the activities that our students participate in will also be delivered by our students for local primary school children.

This year, the week will include:

• A range of activities, projects, lectures, showcases, service opportunities, and national and international trips led by our staff and students
• Musical events, an array of sports and games options, and special performances - including a visit from the Band of the Scots Guards
• A character development conference for all lower sixth students across the Foundation, and a special lecture series from Warwick School staff for various year groups.
• Finally, Friday, 4 July will see Warwick School host sports day, supported by staff and students in the lower sixth. This will be a fantastic way to end the week, supporting and encouraging student participation in sport at every level.  

We're looking forward to our pupils getting involved in another fantastic week in the school year, one which promises to be as exciting as it is valuable.
