Thank you again for your generous support of last half term’s fundraiser to support the Sir Stanley Matthews Foundation. Thanks to your kindness, we were able to raise a fantastic £8,965.34; which (until last week’s fundraiser to support UNICEF Ukraine) was the biggest donation to a charity that I have seen during my time at Warwick.
This week, Warwick School celebrated British Science Week with a plethora of events. The week kicked off with the Friday Encounter from Professor Peter Varnish on Friday. The pupils then entered their best and most scientific bakes in the Science Bake Off, with some very impressive and delicious bakes. Thank you to Mrs Jacka, Mrs Leaf and the lab technicians for judging.
This week we are starting the Christian festival of Lent, a period of 40 days during which Christians remember the events leading up to and including the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings are the foundation of Christianity. Millions of people give something up during Lent as a way to focus on Jesus and remember this important part of his life.
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.
Please note that our visit from David Blunkett has been delayed until the Summer term. More details will be provided with the Summer programme.
House Competitions this academic year got off to a fantastic pre-season start with the new Year 13 House Captains battling it out over the Summer holidays to make a good first impression, by creating a ‘getting to know me’ video for their House. From a sing-a-long to Amarillo by Ted, to a motivational walk and talk with Ben, it was a hard one to judge but in the end it was Teddy who gave Brooke an early lead with his humorous video in which he not only walked across a beach in full school uniform but then promptly jumped off a public pier to show his dedication to how serious he is about Brooke winning the coveted Cock House Cup this year.
For any children aged 12-15 years old that have not yet received their first dose, or it has been at least 12 weeks since their first dose, the below options are the current pathways where they can receive the vaccination during half-term should they wish to do so.
This Children’s Mental Health Week we have been exploring the theme ‘Growing Together’, thinking about how we can grow and develop our resilience to overcome challenges, together rather than stuck on our own.
We had two whole-school assemblies, one for King’s and one for Warwick, where six boys and six girls gave a talk on Mental Health. Read the full assembly delivered to pupils below:
Our strategy at Warwick School and across the Foundation is to provide our pupils with a holistic education, and part of my role as Head of Careers and Volunteering is to help facilitate that.
Warwick School has existed for hundreds of years and has a storied history. It has been burnt down twice, closed down by a love-sick earl and caught up in an iconoclastic revolution. Below I talk about the first few centuries of the school’s existence.
It is always a great pleasure hosting the biweekly Pupil Voice meetings. This is not just because of the great buffet that we enjoy together, but also because it is always great to hear about how our young men are engaging in their school community in such a wide range of positive ways. This week’s meeting was no exception.
Last night (Tuesday, 1 February) saw our Sixth Form pupils and their families join us for our Higher Education Evening.
While we were unable to welcome all of our young local artists into Warwick Hall this year, we wanted to showcase the amazing artwork being created in the local area. A huge thank you to all the young artists whose artwork was submitted, we hope you enjoy seeing your work displayed and that we can welcome everybody back in an even bigger and better event in 2023!
