The Annual Sports Dinner was once again held at the home of Wycombe Wanderers, Adam's Park, on 25 June.  The Sports Dinner is a chance to recognise the hard work and excellence of our students, who have to gain an invite to attend.  This can be awarded for competing at County level or above in one or more sports, being a school sporting competition winner, the Sports Person of the Month, a school team captain, a volunteer or a recipient of one of the main awards.  

On the first three days of July the majority of Year 7 went on an amazing as well as unforgettable trip to Bushcraft, Hertfordshire.  I’m sure that every single student has put in 100% into every activity that we were faced with.

Seven students from Year 9 recently volunteered on 27 June to plan and deliver a French or Spanish lesson for Year 6, at the local Junior School. They did this with energy and maturity, interacting well with the Year 6s and working superbly as a team.  We are so proud of them!  You can read their own comments on the experience, below.

This year's STEM Olympics was organised by, and took place at, Wycombe Abbey School on Wednesday 19 June. The event involved taking 8 of our top 10 achieving Year 8 students to compete against other schools across Bucks and Oxfordshire in a range of science, technology, engineering and maths challenges.  Over the course of the day our teams competed in code cracking, a maths relay, creating and quantifying universal indicator colours, building and racing model cars and designing a marble run.

Following the tragic death of a 12 year old girl who drowned in a river in Manchester recently parents and carers are reminded to talk to their children about Water Safety.  This is particularly relevant as we rapidly approach the summer holidays when your young people may be in and around water.  Young people need to understand the risks of different bodies of water and how to keep themselves safe.  Please ensure that they understand the Water Safety Code.
