Wanstead High School

Year 7 & 8 School Council Election Speeches It was inspiring to hear how pupils shared their personal experiences and unique perspectives, to encourage their classmates to vote for them. Speeches that highlighted visions for the school, and key issues such as improving school facilities, enhancing the learning environment, and promoting inclusivity. Well done, to all who took part!

A huge well done to Mr Hayat who Was awarded the first ever "Spirit Of West Ham" award for his work in the community and around the club, West Ham United. For being a role model to many young people in and around east London, for being a trailblazer for AIMS (Asian inclusion in men's sport) and for proving that anyone can turn their life around, no matter how tough.

Excellent turn-out at the staff well-being and workload meeting and some great meaningful suggestions; apart from the staff dancing competition which was immediately rejected as a ludicrous idea!!!! If anyone has any furniture, paintings, plants, electrical items to donate to make the staff room a nicer place, please do contact the school - whs@Wansteadhigh.co.uk.

This week is Anti-Bullying Week and this year's theme is 'Choose Respect'. Respect is also one of our Wanstead High Character Virtues, and pupils will receive assemblies this week to build upon the work they have already completed in this area. We continue to encourage our school community to 'Talk to Us' so we can address any concerns quickly and effectively. #chooserespect #talktous

As a pupil pointed out, 'if you name your tutor groups after birds, then you invite the birds in!' Thanks to the calm and caring approach from all pupils after our visitor to the Hall today. We have a robust plan to rescue the magpie by tomorrow morning at the latest and, don't worry, we are not superstitious.....

Happy Diwali to all those in our community. May this be a year of light. Stay safe and happy. And anyone out tonight for Hallowe'en, stay safe and be happy too.

Have been contacted by Calvin Bailey and will be meeting him next week to discuss what we can do to keep our community safer. Do please share this and email me or the school if you would like me to pass anything specific on. Pleased by the prompt response.

Thanks to all the staff that have joined the school this year - Mr Wood organised a new staff tea to say well done and thank you. We are delighted as to what you have added to the community and have a great break.
