From Friday, 8 March Warwick School will once again be celebrating British Science Week, with a range of events and collaborations between our Foundation schools. There are 3 main events for pupils to participate in, as well as Year 6 dry ice demos, tutor time science quizzes and Year 7 and 8 building challenges!
On Tuesday, 6 February, the whole of Year 7 was treated to a special musical event as part of their Music Scheme journeys. In collaboration with King's High School and The Kingsley School, all pupils received an orchestral workshop from The Orchestra of the Swan, the Foundation's resident professional orchestra. The day consisted of learning and performing a bespoke arrangement of ‘Trepak’, one of the character dances from Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, The Nutcracker.
Once upon a time, in the heart of our bustling school corridors, a group of teachers embarked on a mission. They weren't searching for treasure buried beneath the ancient oak tree or decoding cryptic messages hidden underground to date our school. No, their quest was far more profound—it was the pursuit of curiosity.
Old boy Max Blinkhorn, who left school last summer to go to university, has been selected for the England U20s Rugby Squad. He was involved in both squads in their recent rugby matches, as they prepare for the upcoming U20s 6 Nations. The young team lost out to a strong Bath United side in early January, but prevailed against Oxford University the following week - with Blinkhorn crossing the whitewash for a fantastic try.

At the start of every new academic year, all Year 7 boys are enrolled onto Warwick School’s unique musical programme known as the ‘Year 7 Music Scheme’. This really is a wonderful opportunity which allows every pupil to study an orchestral instrument (50-minute weekly sessions) for one year, focusing on developing their instrumental technique, music theory, aural, notation and overall musicianship skills.
On Tuesday, 12 and Friday, 15 December, Warwick School’s ‘Service of Nine Lessons & Carols for Christmas” took place at St Marys Church, Warwick. Guests were welcomed and greeted by the sounds of Mr Condon playing Holly and the Ivy, Coventry Carol and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen on the Organ.
On Friday, 8 December, students taking part in Psychology in Action for Friday afternoon activities presented their research. Over the term, small groups pupils from Warwick School and Kings High designed, carried out and analysed their findings in a variety of interesting Psychological studies. The winning year 11 group investigated the effects of caffeine on short-term memory and visual perception. Congratulations to Michael, Seun, Tommy, Milan and Moosa. We hope you enjoyed your 1st prize donuts and are displaying your certificates proudly.
