Message from the Headteacher
|
|
As we come to the Christmas holidays, life in school is often extremely busy. When you combine that with staff and student illness and absence and a drop of seasonal snowfall and sub-zero temperatures it can be a little challenging – as we have found this week! Firstly, thank you for your understanding and patience as parents and carers in managing the adaptions to the school days that we put in place this week to remain open and maximise learning in the face of these obstacles.
Secondly, thank you to those of you were able to brave the cold weather and join us for the Christmas Concert on Tuesday evening. Despite this being my third Christmas at Warlingham, believe it or not, this was my first Christmas Concert and what a lovely evening it was.

 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.
