Wolverley Carnival - 2nd July

The annual Carnival in Wolverley takes place tomorrow and the children are very excited to either take part on the float, dance or just coming along to explore the stalls. 

Fingers crossed the weather is kind. 

We look forward to seeing as many of you tomorrow. 

Wolverley Secondary CE School 

This time of year is really important to Year 6 students who are allocated a place at Wolverley Secondary CE School in September and we want to make the transition process as smooth as possible for students. Our New Intake Evening last night was really successful; parents, carers and students feel reassured with the move to Wolverley.

The three transition days are Monday, 11^th to Wednesday, 13^th July 2016 from 8.40am until 3.10pm. Students will have an opportunity to spend time with their Head of College, Assistant Head of College, participate in some of our lessons and be introduced to the procedures of the school.

Students need to arrive promptly before the day starts at 8.40am; older students will meet them in the main playground and escort them to the hall. Students should arrive in their current school uniform and must bring a packed lunch or cash and a PE kit. We operate a cashless catering system and so, on the first day, they will have their finger print taken and be shown how to pay the cash into the machines to then be able to purchase refreshments.

The Queen's Picnic Lunch 

Check out the photos on  Latest News Documents of today's picnic. All the pupils had lunch together out on the field - a small selection of photo's are available to view on our website.

Celebrating Volunteering

Do you know of a young person who deserves recognition for all they do to volunteer in their communities? Would you like to show them how much what they do is appreciated? If so, then you can nominate them for a volunteer award.

This category is aimed at volunteers under 25 years who have shown a real commitment to their volunteering.  It is to celebrate the work carried out by young people who give up their time to help their community; in school, at youth clubs or a voluntary organisation. They may have developed in a personal capacity, been keen to learn new skills, or shown particular enthusiasm for their role.

Awards will be presented at a Celebrating Volunteering Event on 9th June 2016 at The Hive, Worcester. The event is being run by Worcestershire County Council in partnership with the voluntary and community sector as part of National Volunteering Week.
