Maths Challenge

Students in top sets in Year 9 and 10 participated in a national maths challenge on Thursday morning.

Students Featured at The Lightbox

Two of our students are featured in an exhibition at The Lightbox in Woking showing from today up until mid March.

The exhibition features poetry sung by Muslim community elders and reinterpreted into English by young people.  Recitation is created visually and features two of our students, Haider Jamil (Year 11) and Omar Jamil (Year 8).

The Lightbox will be contacting all local schools and are advertising this event in various publications. The exhibition has also being showcased on the local Woking radio.

As well as this work, our very able students have a number of opportunities to be involved in master classes and learning activities at Wellington College, with students from other schools.  This has enabled students to be challenged in terms of their intellect and learning, resulting in the development of higher order thinking skills.
