The school was delighted to welcome representatives from Wareham Food Bank this week, who visited to express their heartfelt thanks for the incredible generosity shown by students, families, and staff during the Christmas donation drive.

This year’s collection was nothing short of extraordinary. With over 1,000 items donated, it became the largest single contribution the food bank has ever received. Boxes of essentials, festive favourites, and thoughtful extras filled the school reception before being delivered to support local families during the winter period.

What made this achievement even more impressive was the leadership behind it. The entire event was planned, organised, and coordinated by the Year 10 Student Leadership Team, who worked tirelessly from start to finish. They promoted the campaign across the school, arranged collection points, managed the sorting process, and ensured every item reached the food bank in time for Christmas. Their commitment and teamwork were praised highly by the visiting representatives.

Thanks to the scale of this donation, Wareham Food Bank has been able to increase the amount of food given to families, going beyond the standard allocation. As a result, households in need have been receiving additional items — including sweet treats and festive extras — bringing a little more joy and comfort during a challenging season.

The school is incredibly proud of its students and grateful to the entire community for coming together to make such a meaningful difference. This record-breaking effort shows the power of compassion, teamwork, and collective action.

On Wednesday 21st January, our school hosted a vibrant and inspiring Careers Fair, welcoming over 60 organisations including businesses, universities, and colleges. The event was designed to give students in Years 9 to 13 a valuable opportunity to explore a wide range of career and education pathways.

Each year group attended for an hour, engaging directly with representatives from diverse industries and institutions. From engineering firms to creative arts colleges, students were able to ask questions, gather resources, and gain insights into potential future careers.

The purpose of attending a careers fair is to help students broaden their understanding of the world of work, discover new interests, and begin to make informed decisions about their next steps. Whether considering apprenticeships, university courses, or future job roles, the fair offered a chance to connect classroom learning with real-world opportunities.

We’re proud to support our students in building confidence and ambition for their futures — and events like this are a key part of that journey.
