Students are taking part in sponsored walks to Wye Crown today, which celebrates a historic Jubilee and is visible from school. Monies raised are going to support aid to Ukraine. Other Jubilee events including music and icecream on the field to finish the day. This compliments our tree planting earlier in the year to mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.

A great end to the term today with fun activities that raised money to support aid to Ukraine, plenty of sunshine and smiles from staff and students. We hope you all have a great half term.

Our Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Award group undertook their first expedition last weekend, and our Bronze group the weekend before. Staff accompanying them reported everyone took part well and fun was had by all. The good weather on both weekends helped.

We were grateful to receive free saplings from The Woodland Trust as part of their gift to schools to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022. They gifted us Silver Birch and Wild Cherry saplings, enough to plant a row of them along some of our external fencing, and make our contribution to The Queen's Green Canopy.

Our Nature Club took charge of the planting.

A local organisation asked us to help them fill a lorry with medical and babycare goods to be delivered to Poland to help Ukrainian refugees. We appealed to our students and parents for help and were overwhelmed with generous donations. These were collected and boxed by our 6th Formers and driven to the lorry by our school mini-buses. Thank you to everyone who helped with this effort this week, we hope it can make a small contribution to the people so clearly in need at the moment as they leave Ukraine.

A very vibrant open evening for prospective Sixth Formers was held in November at Wye School. Internal and external Year 11s spoke to subject staff and current 6th Formers about how our relatively new Sixth Form has already shown that it has good results, great university outcomes, small tutorial like classes, expert subject teaching and friendly Sixth Formers who work well as a team. Don't worry if you were unable to attend, we are happy to talk to prospective Sixth Formers from inside and outside Wye School all year, please contact us on office@wyeschool.org.uk

You can get more information on courses available and entry requirements under the Sixth Form tab on this website.

Wye School students and staff enjoyed taking part in the Wye Christmas Street Party. The school provided carol singers and the PTFA ran a fundraising stall.

Wye School students attended an athletics taster session at the Julie Rose Stadium tonight and enjoyed middle distance training.

Year 11 met an ambassador from the University of Kent who explained to them why they might want to go to university and what they need to do between Year 11 and Year 13 to make that happen. 

Co-curricular Period 6 starts for Term 2 today with all students taking part in clubs that they have chosen to match their skills, interests and aspirations. Buses will run an hour later than normal to allow students to attend.

Wye School is proud to be taking part in the Queen's Green Canopy:

This marks the jubilee next year of HM The Queen. We have established a conifer sapling this autumn ready to be officially declared our contribution next year. We also look forward to taking part in Wye village's planned jubilee events in June.

Drama students had an energetic and unique workshop today with locally based, internationally renowned Jasmin Vardimon Educational Company, the charitable arm to Jasmin Vardimon Company which offers exciting education and training programme. Jasmin’s vision to nurture talent and potential is shared with schools who share their passion for dance.

We are pleased that co-curricular sport and clubs including the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Combined Cadet Force have all been able to restart this year. Lots of fun is being had and new skills aquired. The picture shows our U16s boys football team about to play Towers School in a fixture.

Congratulations to Shane Warren, our teacher of English and Combined Cadet Force leader, who went to the Lord Lieutenant awards last night and received an award for the work he did for OPERATION RESCRIPT (Covid effort) as part of the Army Reserve.

Summer school is underway for Year 7 and 10 students.

Year 9 students completed their Bronze Award Practice Expedition. Some got a bit lost but they all kept amazing spirits and did an excellent job setting up their camps. They improved their field skills a lot and are all set to try to complete their award next year.

Here are some of the amazing entries we had for our Summer Inter-house Art Competition for Years 7-9. We love the range of media and techniques used and the creative ideas.
