🎉 Happy National Teaching Assistants’ Day! 🎉 Today we celebrate the incredible Teaching Assistants across The White Horse Federation! 💬 Show your appreciation! Post a message or nominate your favourite TA via the official site: tinyurl.com/j8byuj9r
We were delighted to host you- it looked like everyone had a great time!
Second day of our 2025 LitFest schools programme today, providing free author talks to local children! With thanks to @DevizesSchool for hosting eight local primary schools today in two packed sessions with author @tompalmerauthor🙏
The Peru adventures have continued, with a day spent on a project at Camp Moray. The team helped to build a place to supply water to the local community, and a communal hall. Once again, the students worked brilliantly together and were praised for their efforts by the locals!
🌞 School’s out! Huge thanks to our amazing staff, students & parents for a brilliant year — your support means everything! 📚✨ See our 2024–25 highlights: 👉 thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/news/2025-07-2… #TWHF #SummerBreak #TrustHighlights
Introducing one final house competition before the year ends... Curtain Karaoke! Come along to the Main Hall on Monday at lunchtime for a bit of fun as students attempt to guess which teachers have taken to the stage and singing behind the scenes on stage?
With the next heatwave on its way, here's a rundown of our uniform plan- hopefully will allow families to keep on top of their washing!
Students- enjoy your long weekend!
Students will not need to wear ties on Monday or Tuesday. Please ensure your child has plenty of fluids, apply sun cream if they plan to be outside during break/lunch, and bring in a hat if necessary. Temperatures & ties will return to normal on Wednesday.
This week’s dispatch shares just two things we’re proud of right now!
Last Thursday Wiltshire Cricket hosted an exciting Dynamo Cricket festival for local primary schools, once again aided by our fantastic Sports Leaders 😎
Last week we hosted a special coffee & cake morning with students working together with our Hospitality & Catering teachers to produce some incredible food! The money raised from the sale went to Julia's House. Well done to everyone involved!
We may have waved farewell to Year 11... but we're already saying hello to them as they start Year 12! Looking forward to seeing you all at the D6 Orientation Day! Don't forget to sign up via the link sent to your school email addresses.
Last week Year 8 Scientists designed landing crafts for the Mars Rover using eggs! After 'hatching' a plan, some 'egg-celled' at creating crafts, but others 'cracked' under the pressure & saw their circuits 'fried' & parts 'scrambled'... Who knew we could be such comedi-hens!😂
In the sweltering heat, our Year 9s engaged with some of the toughest problems the Army could throw at them and considered careers in STEM subjects at the same time- fantastic job Year 9!
Calling Devizes artists! Here's your chance to get creative and support our local community at the same time! Design a piece of art about our town/local area & see it on display in Haywood Care Centre next month! See Mrs Williams for more details.
