Prom 2018 A fter months of hard work preparing for their GCSE exams, our Year Elevens got to spend a final night together at their prom. The prom took place at Drayton Manor and was a fantastic evening full of fancy dresses, suits and transport. Mr Herbert, Head of MacGregor house, said “They all look so grown up and ready for the next chapter of their lives. Well done to our Year Elevens and good luck for the future!”
The Physical Fellowship 2018 On Monday 2nd July 2018 students from The Wilnecote School took part in The Physical Fellowship performance for the third consecutive year. Students from years 7, 8 and 9 had worked with performer Ben Morley from the company Highly Sprung over two days to create a performance. The piece, based on the theme of reconciliation, explored the issues of war and colonisation and the impact they have on society. They then performed the piece live on stage at The Belgrade Theatre Coventry as part of the week long Physical Fellowship project; The U.K’s only Physical Theatre Festival exclusively for young people. The students worked incredibly hard to create and rehearse the performance and did an amazing job of performing in front of a live audience. We are very proud of them! During the day the students also participated in workshops led by members of the UK’s leading theatre companies including Vamos Mask Theatre, The Royal Shakespeare Company and Motion House Dance Theatre. The students had a really enjoyable day and learnt a lot from having the opportunity to work with so many industry professionals. It was a fantastic day and all of the students did themselves and the school proud. Year 8 students welcomed an up and coming band called ‘The Shades’ into The Wilnecote School. Three young men entertained the students for an hour with a mixture of their own songs and popular covers from the charts and Year 8 responded fantastically to a very different first lesson of the day. Apart from being entertained, there was an underlying message that the band spoke of: raising awareness of on-line safety, cyber bullying and the impact that they can have on the mental health of young people when used badly. They shared their own experiences of these issues, both from their time in school and more recently as they try to make it as a band using various social media platforms to support them. Students took part in question and answer sessions and many stayed behind to collect autographs and have the all-important selfie with a group of great role-models who have all the qualities needed to make it big in the future - we will be looking out for them! Student feedback was incredibly positive and we hope all of Year 8 enjoyed the chance to experience something different, whilst taking away the message that everyone of us has a responsibility to use the internet and social media in a positive way so we can all be happier in our lives, both in and out of school.
