At the end of my first term here at Wetherby I already feel very much a part of the school and have had a wonderful time meeting many of you as well as getting to know the boys and the staff. What has been a recurring theme over the term has been the cohesive nature…

I hope that this finds you all well. This week has had a very ‘advent-like’ feel to it; with one full week to go of term, we have been dividing our time between the business of cracking on with lessons and activities, but also ramping up the planning for next week. One exciting feature of…

Our weekly assembly has just taken place and as is customary we have had an act of remembrance. The brass band accompanied the hymn, trumpeters sounded the last post and reveille, and a Sixth Form organist played us out.

I hope that you have all had a restful half term; after a busy first half term I was delighted to be able to get away with my family to Portugal for a few relaxing days of sunshine. Sitting on a plane for the first time in nearly three years certainly felt strange, but it…

I hope that this finds you well, and that you and your sons are looking forward to a well-deserved half term break. This half term seems to have flown by, and as we head into the break, there is much to reflect on and be grateful for. Having spoken with a number of other Heads…
