National Apprenticeship Week is underway and today we were lucky to be joined by Old Witleian, Ella Anderson (OW 2019). Ella is soon to finish her Degree Apprenticeship in Construction Management with Mace, and spoke to our Fourth Form (Year 9) and Lower Sixth about why she chose a degree apprenticeship over university, and what her life has been like to date. Thank you for your insights, Ella.

Supporting Children’s Mental Health Week 2025
On Monday, we kick started a week of activities in support of Children’s Mental Health Week 2025 with an inspiring whole school assembly led by our Head of Counselling, Mrs Raven. Across our year groups, we held a series of workshops and activities based around @_place2be`s current Know Yourself, Grow Yourself theme, encouraging our pupils to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.
Our expert Librarian, Mrs Harris hand-picked and created a display of incredible, informative, and inspiring books, brilliantly selected to support further understanding around this theme. These titles are included here for a little reading inspiration.
Thank you to all within our community for engaging with, and supporting such an important initiative.
