**Christmas Tree and Previously Loved Uniform Sale** 9.30-11.30am Saturday 5th December
As the decorations appear in the shops and the Christmas adverts are bombarding our screens, it can only mean one thing - it is time for the Friends of Waldegrave Christmas Tree Sale!
We will be running a second-hand uniform sale at the same time so it is the perfect ‘one stop shop’ to get your tree and stock up on some spare uniform whilst contributing funds to the school in the process.
Both sales will run from 9.30am to 11.30am (while stocks last) on Saturday 5th December.
There are a range of Christmas tree sizes available. Please visit ParentPay to see sizes, prices and to place your order. Please note: all Christmas tree orders must be made by 4.30pm on Thursday 3rd December. #waldegraveschool #enjoyachieveempower #christmas #christmastree #preloveduniform
Reading matters at Waldegrave, which is why as part of our commitment to encourage reading for pleasure our English Department runs an annual reading challenge with Year 7. Our Readathon invites students to read as many books as they can during October and to try to get sponsored for their reading. This can be as little as £1 and funds raised go towards @readforgood as well as some being used for new books in our school library. We are very proud to have raised over £50,000 for this charity over the past 20 years and appreciate any and all support with this initiative. #goallin #literacy #readingmatters #waldegraveschool #enjoyachieveempower
Our first ever pumpkin carving competition has gone down a storm, with incredible carved creations 🎃👻🎃🦇🎃 Winners to be announced later today! #waldegraveschool #enjoyachieveempower #pumpkin #halloween #spooky
