School has been a little quieter this week with Year 6 in Snowdonia. As always, the news is that the boys are having a fantastic time, learning new skills, gaining some great memories and working together as a team. We look forward to hearing about their experiences next week.

There will be three Teatime Concerts held in the next half term, which provide informal performance opportunities for boys to perform on their instruments in front of a friendly audience.
If your son learns an instrument in school, please liaise directly with his instrumental teacher. If your son learns an instrument outside of school, then please email Miss Sharp by Friday, 28 February at the latest, with the date you would prefer your son to play.
This week we celebrated, along with many schools across the country, Children’s Mental Health Week. The theme this year is 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself' which encourages children to embrace self-awareness so that they can grow and develop the resilience to cope with future challenges.
In Monday’s assembly, we talked about the philosopher Socrates who said, ‘The most important thing is to try and know yourself’. By taking notice of ourselves and how we feel, we can make better choices and know when we need support. Further resources and guidance for parents and families can be found at:

On Thursday, 6 March, we will be celebrating World Book Day in the Junior School by asking the boys to celebrate their favourite book and get creative! Our theme this year is 'World Book Day Hats' and we are encouraging the boys to come to school wearing a hat that represents their favourite book or book character.
In Monday’s assembly, Mr Burchett asked some of the boys to re-create a scene from one of his favourite films, 'The Replacements'. In this American Football comedy, the replacement players were asked to admit their fears to the rest of the team. The players spoke about spiders and bees - not exactly what the coach was hoping for. In the end the quarterback speaks up and talks about quicksand. He said, "You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe...because you're in over your head. Like quicksand."
We look forward to seeing many of you at this joint Warwick Junior School and Warwick Prep School information and discussion meeting. Taking place on Thursday, 13 February at 8am, in the Warwick Prep School Hall.
This term's art competition is 'Paint your Pet'.
This week we have continued to focus on our learning strength of Empathy. Taken from the German Einfühlung, meaning ‘to feel as one with’, studies have shown that developing empathy is positively linked with life satisfaction and well-being.
One cold winter’s day on the 10 January 2025, Year 5 had the incredible experience to go to the National Space Centre in Leicester. We went because we had just completed a topic about Earth and Space.
On Wednesday, 22 January, Winterfold House hosted the Matthew Thacker Shield Tournament.
