NEWSLETTER – 8 March 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
If you have been watching the school social media feeds recently, you will have seen remarkable images from Scotland as 6 pupils, equipped with ice axes and crampons, walked and climbed in the Cairngorms. It is remarkable just how advanced pupils can become with dedication and with the expert support we offer in the Adventure department.
Back at base, house spirit has been reawakened as our four school houses took each other on in the inter-house sports week. Many thanks to all the staff who organised and refereed these events.
Next week, we look forward to a major highlight of the year – the Careers Conference. Thank you to all parents who are taking part as employers, and to all who have volunteered to give their time to enriching our careers programme at the conference, or in future by giving talks. When pupils discover the sorts of careers that inspire them, it gives them an extra boost for their school life and a greater sense of purpose. We are extremely proud of the diversity of our curriculum and we hope this will encourage our pupils to venture in to equally diverse pathways in adult life.
To get a taste of our Sixth Form curriculum and all the amazing opportunities that the International Baccalaureate (IB) offers students, I would encourage you to come along to our IB Showcase Evening on Wednesday 13 March. This event is open to all families and is the perfect opportunity to learn more about our IB offer, and see student work on display.
Wishing you all a happy and restful weekend.
Frank Thompson
Head of Windermere School
