Spring, Sports and Shrove Tuesday

Spring has officially arrived at WGSA, and with it, a fresh start to another exciting half term. As always, our students have been busy, from competing in athletics to tackling big questions in our newest club. This week, four year group teams were entered into the English Schools Athletics Association competition and we look forward to hearing how well our teams get on later in the year.

We have a wonderful new Christian Union club in collaboration with the Youth Pastor of Alive Church. Open to all Year 7 and 8 students, the club meets every Friday lunchtime for open discussions on life’s big questions, such as: Is there a God? Has science made God irrelevant? How can a good God allow suffering? And what is the meaning of life? Any curious students are encouraged to come along!

Alongside all these exciting events, our regular clubs and enrichments continue to thrive. Football club has seen students putting in the hard work, fine-tuning their skills as the season picks up. Gardening Club is making the most of the growing season, with students busy watering and caring for their plants. Debate Club continues to spark great discussions, while Frisbee and Golf enrichments have finally moved back outdoors after the stormy weather.

This week, the school has also been celebrating Science Week, with extra practical’s, a science-themed assembly and even a small practical for students and parents to try at home.
