Message from the Headteacher
|
|
It has undoubtedly been an exceptionally busy half-term of learning for the school, and it is safe to say that the half-term break will be much appreciated by all members of the school community as a chance to relax, refresh and spend time with loved ones.
|
We have had two fantastic open events this half-term that have showcased so much of what the school has to offer, and the contribution made by the students has been a wonderful reminder of the character and confidence that so many of our students possess and further develop at Warlingham. While these events are fantastic opportunities to show these things it is even more gratifying to hear the examples of students showing the school values of courage, commitment and kindness in our school and local community.

As part of our registration activities, students have the opportunity to learn about and debate topics each week, using resources from VotesforSchools. This helps provide students with a wider understanding of current affairs, develops their empathy and kindness skills when considering sensitive issues, and also enables them to practise forming arguments and debating.
|
Furthermore, they have their voices heard as VotesforSchools shares the voting outcomes with a variety of organisations, including governments and charities.
Recently, students have discussed the topics 'Should the Homes for Ukraine scheme be for more refugees?' and 'Is it right that the Prime Minister kept his job after ‘partygate’?'
See the latest vote results below with our school's results indexed against the national votes.
