On 13 October we welcomed the actor and performer Miguel from theatre company GECKO to lead a workshop for our Sixth Form drama pupils. GECKO’s theatre is very physical relying on breath and fast movement to inspire their superb productions which have an international reputation.
Classrooms and corridors at Warwick last week were echoing with vocabulary and conversations in a myriad of different European languages in celebration of the European Day of Languages.
Each and every Warwick School pupil will have something that is their passion. We have pupils in school who are sailors, scuba divers, chess players, astronomers, actors, musicians, computer programmers or spend their time volunteering in a variety of settings.
As a community it is vital we are inclusive to all pupils, whatever their passion or interest, respecting their dedication and admiring the work they put into it. We can learn so much from each other.
Over the Summer Holidays, Thomas in Year 10 completed his dream work placement writing articles for the Warwickshire Cricket Board website.
We join the nation in deepest sadness at the loss of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty was an inspiration to young and old around the globe, and to us all. Our family of schools in the Warwick Schools Foundation send sincere condolences to the Royal family.
The Queen and her sister, Princess Margaret, were the last members of the Royal family to be educated at home by tutors, in the traditional manner. The Queen was taught constitutional History by the Provost of Eton, and learned to speak French fluently. Her predecessor, Henry VIII was influenced by the scholar Erasmus - who promoted the liberal arts and sciences over military training – in the curriculum studied by Henry VIII’s children.
Warwick School’s royal connections go back more than 1000 years to King Edward the Confessor, including the re-establishment by King Henry VIII in 1545 of ‘the King’s New School of Warwick’ (and therefore the ‘King’ in ‘King’s High School') which ultimately led to the Warwick Schools Foundation we know today.
Richard Nicholson, Principal of Warwick Schools Foundation, commented:
‘I can only say what we all know – Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II was an inspiration to us all, and a Mother to our nation. Her values, duty, and model of leadership will continue to shine a light for all young people, and our pupils in the Warwick Schools Foundation.
We cherish very happy memories of Her Majesty’s daughter, HRH The Princess Royal’s recent visit to the Warwick Schools Foundation and we extend to the Princess Royal and the Royal Family our deepest condolences.’
We are pleased to announce another term packed full of diverse, exciting, and thought-provoking talks from a range of inspiring speakers. Pupils from all year groups are welcome to attend what is sure to be another fantastic term of events.
Following a period of study unlike any other, Year 11 pupils at Warwick School are celebrating exceptional GCSE results and looking forward to the next stage of their education journey in the Sixth Form.
After a wonderful year of being physically back in the classroom, Sixth Formers at Warwick School are celebrating exceptional results. This year’s results are testament to the hard work and diligence our pupils have displayed throughout their studies with us.
It's here! Summer is just around the corner, and this term’s Warwickian is bigger than ever!
