A great afternoon was had at the Rugby
World Cup Fanzone. The whole school made the trip and were able to participate in lots of rugby related activities, as well as have their photos taken with the William
Webb Ellis Cup.
Wow! What a fun and busy term we are having.
As well as the excellent day to day teaching and learning, we have had some fantastic activities, clubs and trips.
Our ever growing
Montessori continues to flourish and it is fantastic to see the pre-prep becoming a big part of our school.
Please tune in regularly to the school website to watch the St Wilfrid’s
BBC News Report. Very informative and entertaining.
I would like to express my thanks to all the pupils, parents and staff who have provided such great support over the last four weeks. Lots of changes have happened and I appreciate the fantastic feedback.
Six lucky parents and pupils also received tickets to watch game at Sandy Park:
Tonga Vs Namibia. I hope they have had an excellent time!

On Friday 18th September, some of the pupils made a visit to the RAMM.
Whilst there, they were able to draw several species of birds to put into their GCSE Art portfolios.
Year 7 have been studying the Norman invasion of
England in 1066. They have looked at the build up to the Norman Conquest and have now been paying attention to how the Norman’s managed to take control of England.
We have been doing an indepth study into the Motte
& Bailey castles used by King William to take control of Saxon England.
We visited Rougemont Castle in Exeter and were able to witness a real life Motte & Bailey castle.
We saw a moat, a motte, a bailey and a keep. We also saw the place where the last witches of England were sentenced.
Kestrels are making progress with the Compost Curriculum during their outdoor learning lessons. The compost bin is almost complete! Resourcefully, the Kestrels have built it entirely out of recycled pallets and other recycled materials.
