Wanstead High School

A huge well done to our Year 12 and Year 13 pupils for all of your hard work this term. You have shown real commitment and resilience, and it has also been great to see so many of you engaging so positively in the opportunities on offer. Have a great break. Happy Easter to all those who celebrate, and we look forward to welcoming you back for a successful summer term.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 12 girls who took part in The Power of You initiative, run by the London Business School group. It was inspiring to hear them reflect on their journey over the past six weeks : becoming clearer on their values, recognising their growth in confidence, and feeling empowered to take on the world. A huge well done to all involved. We are so proud of you all! #PowerOfYou #SixthForm #YourNextStartsNow #Confidence #Empowerment

A huge congratulations to our Year 10 Silver DofE cohort for successfully completing their training this weekend! We're excited to take our pupils to Norfolk after the Easter break, where they will complete their assessed expedition

A simple but important message for our pupils: growth requires reflection, courage and the willingness to make positive changes. A fantastic opportunity for our young people to think about their choices, their mindset and the steps needed to reach their potential. #YourNextStartsNow #SixthForm

Eid Mubarak to all our staff and pupils in our sixth form! Enjoy the food and celebrations.

To all our families celebrating, we wish you a wonderful day tomorrow with family and friends.

Day 3 and 4 - Team Barcelona continued to truly excel themselves, we are so proud. Highlights included a botanical walk, Paella masterclass (hope you saw our stories). On our last morning and afternoon we visited a secondhand market and showed off our sporting prowess with a game of volleyball on the beach. Now home time- we can't wait to see our loved ones. Barcelona 26 - "Completed it mate" #educationwithcharacter #curiosity #teamwork.

Huge thank you to Innerscope for an inspiring and motivating session with our students today. Using the 4Ps Pioneer, Participant, Passenger and Protestor - pupils were challenged to reflect on their mindset, choices and potential. A powerful message about knowing your why and being the best version of yourself.

Day 2 - Another stunning day in Barcelona. We visited @casabatllo. From there pupils had an art lesson in Spanish. On we went for a walk down @larambla.oficial, stopping off @la_boqueria to see the famous food market. Pupils once again were superb, showing great curiosity! #educationwithcharacter #charactersought

Day 1 in beautiful Barcelona - Year 10 had a fabulous day at @parcguelloficial and walking the city. Lots of tired legs but full hearts. #gaudi
