Mini Olympics
This event was reinstated this week after the storms drove everyone inside last week. This was a super experience for all year 7 and 8 students. Everyone participated on behalf of their Tutor Group. It was great to see children enjoying the range of fun activities organised by Mr Cotton. Thank you to Lucy Cook for suggesting that we arrange an event where everyone could take part. As you can see there was plenty for everyone to enjoy and the weather was perfect. Both the competitive spirit and the laughter made a great success.
Hot Summer Days
We have had very few exceptionally hot days this year but students handled the weather, this week, incredibly well. Everyone was able to wear PE kit when temperatures were predicted to reach at least 30 degrees, which we all agreed was more comfortable. Students also took the opportunity to sit in the shade on the AstroTurf areas during break and lunchtime.
Saying Goodbye
Saying goodbye to our colleagues is always hard, especially when they have given so much to Winston. Mrs Broyd has decided to retire after 36 years at the school and she will be missed by both staff and students. She has supported new teachers into the profession, alongside teaching the subject of Geography, her passion. As a member of my Senior team, she has worked tirelessly to achieve the vision and provide the best opportunities for young people. Mrs Broyd has always put Winston first and she now deserves to have the time to explore the world further and enjoy a long and happy retirement.
A number of other staff entertained us with their memories of working at Winston, during a lunch to say farewell to our valued colleagues.
