Since August 2017, Mr Venter and I have had the huge privilege of being the boarding house parents for Way House. For those of you who are not sure of the set-up of boarding, Way House is the younger boarding house where the Year 9 and 10 boarders reside. Today is sadly our last day living at Way House; we decided it’s time for us to depart as I now step back into a teaching position and hopefully inspire the next generation of British Acupuncture students. We will be handing over our Way House keys to Mr Broadley and Miss Lowe who we believe will do a fantastic job.

Warwick School and King's High School, who jointly run the Warwick Regional Hub of the National Mathematics and Physics SCITT, are delighted to announce that The National Mathematics & Physics (NMAP) SCITT has been successful in its application for accreditation for the delivery of Initial Teacher Training (ITT) from September 2024 onwards. 

This year has included an exciting development in the support of mental health at Warwick School. In March 2022 we opened our new Wellbeing Hub. The Hub has been designed to be an environment that promotes and protects mental health. It is a space that is like no other in the school; it isn’t a classroom, or a meeting room, or a common room. Its design and aesthetic has been carefully thought about to be relaxing, welcoming and calm. Purpose-built therapy rooms allow for the range of external professionals we employ to come in and support the pupils in their individual specialisms. There is also a large communal space that the pupils can relax in and chat (if they wish) or just come and ‘be’. The ‘sensory room’ is popular with pupils, a low arousal space that pupils can access if they feel overwhelmed. Finally, we have a multi-faith prayer room that our pupils can access at any point in the day.

The opening of the Wellbeing Hub for me is a real statement of intent for us as a school. The mental and emotional health of our young people is as important to us as their academic and extra curricular development. Our young people exist in a world that can, at times, feel scary and overwhelming. In order to thrive out in the world beyond our school, the teaching and support of mental health and wellbeing has to underpin all that we do. The opening of the Wellbeing Hub is a vital part of that underpinning; providing pupils a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental place to come and feel their feelings, no matter what they may be.

Since 2018, the Drama Department have had the support of a Drama Graduate Assistant – a specialist who is theatre-trained can support the many lessons at all levels and contribute significantly to the huge co-curricular life of the department. We always hoped it would provide a dynamic professional with the opportunity to gain vital experience in production and education that helps propel them in their careers. It has, in reality, exceeded that ambition in so many ways.
