PRINCE HENRY’S HIGH SCHOOL An “Outstanding” Academy for Students aged 13-18

Welcome

HEADTEACHER’S WELCOME Universal Values of Courage, Courtesy, Equality, Fairness, Integrity, Kindness, Respect, Tolerance and Understanding, to name but a few.

Writing my welcome message for The Henrician each year always provides me with the perfect opportunity to reflect upon the past twelve months, and the events that have shaped our community here at Prince Henry’s High School.

National and global affairs continue to cast a shadow, with conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East ongoing, and political and economic uncertainty at home. In such times, our work at Prince Henry’s remains more important than ever – helping our students to understand the world around them and preparing them for their futures.

This is underpinned through our assemblies, tutor programme, enrichment activities and day to day lessons where we reinforce the Prince Henry’s

For the Prince Henry’s community, 2024–25 has been another truly remarkable year. We have now completed our first year as a founding member of the Worcestershire Hills Trust, alongside Bredon Hill Academy, Blackwell First School and Charford First School. The Trust is already enabling us to “grow stronger together”, while preserving the distinctive ethos and traditions that make each school special. This new partnership was formally recognised earlier this year when representatives of the Trust, including Mrs Barker on behalf of Prince Henry’s, were invited to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace by the King and Queen.

Academically, our students continue to excel. The summer 2024 examination results were among the strongest we have ever achieved, reflecting our guiding principles of inclusivity and aspiration.

These successes have been complemented by prestigious external endorsements, including the NACE Challenge Award for our provision for more able learners, the renewal of our Gold Award for Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development, the Inclusion Quality Mark as a Centre of Excellence, and the Career Mark accreditation.

There have been many other highlights during the year. Our Interact members, under the longstanding guidance of Mrs Taylor, raised more than £40,000 for a wide range of charities before her retirement after 25 years of service. Live events were once again a real strength of our community, with Drop the Mic, the Christmas Concert, and the 2025 school musical Guys and Dolls delighting audiences in February. Students also enjoyed a wealth of enrichment opportunities, including a ski trip to Italy, history trips to Berlin and the Battlefields, sports tours to Holland, and a memorable cultural visit to New York and Washington. Closer to home, we proudly opened our brand-new £1.3 million 3G pitch in May, thanks to the support of the Football Association and Wychavon District Council.

As always, the end of the school year is a time to say farewell. This summer we celebrated the contribution of many long-serving colleagues, including Mrs Gardiner (Library Assistant, 35 years), Mrs Taylor (Teacher of Science and Interact Coordinator, 25 years), Mrs Kelly (Head of Design Technology, 20 years), and Mrs Stones (Manager of The Lodge, 20 years), alongside others who together have given 154 years of dedicated service to Prince Henry’s. We also sadly said goodbye to three much-loved members of the wider Henrician

family: former Deputy Headteacher Ross Garratt, who gave 19 years of service with wisdom and humour; former Assistant Headteacher Veronica Most, whose 29 years at Prince Henry’s saw her make an immense contribution to Food Technology, pastoral care and the Duke of Edinburgh Award; and Enid Walker, an alumna and former PE teacher whose lifelong connection with the school spanned over 70 years. Each embodied the values that lie at the heart of our community and will be remembered with great affection.

On behalf of the whole school community, I would like to thank all these colleagues, as well as our staff, Governors, Trustees and parents, whose support ensures that Prince Henry’s remains such a special place to learn and thrive. Special thanks also go to the team who have put this edition of The Henrician together: Mrs Barker and Miss Barnes.

I am proud to commend the 2025 edition of The Henrician to you.

Dr A Evans, Headteacher July 2025

Head Students & Ambassadors

After such a fulfilling time here at Prince Henry’s it is difficult to say goodbye. As Head Students, we have been privileged to speak at many major events during our time here, but we have also been privileged to be a part of and experience so much.

One of the determining factors in our success was the constant support we received throughout our time at Prince Henry’s. We would like to give our thanks to all the staff for their time spent going above and beyond to support us. We would like to give special thanks to Mrs Webb and the Sixth Form Team for their constant support throughout our time in Sixth Form.

Our year group has had so many opportunities and we are mindful of all that we have been able to enjoy in our time at Prince Henry’s. The school’s performance of “Guys and Dolls” must be a highlight of the year, and of our time here. The opportunity for the entire school community to get involved on such a project, and then perform to sold-out audiences was something we will never forget. On top of the show, there have been so many wonderful extra-curricular activities constantly running, and we would encourage all prospective and current students to engage with as much as they possibly can!

Our students have also had a fantastic array of trips to partake in. From the New York and Washington trip to the Sports Tour towards the end of the Spring half term there has been plenty to choose from.

Page 8

As students, we have been amazed by the feel of community within the school. The school’s charity group, Interact, has hosted many fundraisers – Drop the Mic, The Spring Show, and so many more. All the proceeds from these events have gone on to support the local and wider community, and it has been a pleasure to see students from all years joining to support the community and each other.

We have been able to meet with Dr Evans and the Senior Leadership Team multiple times over the course of the year to discuss and suggest potential changes to the school system and are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to do so – even if it was occasionally difficult to think of anything at all!

In our brief time within our role as Head Students, we hope we have made a positive impact upon the school for the future. It certainly has had a positive impact on us. Every opportunity we have had presented to us has allowed us to grow as an individual, and we feel we are now ready to step out into the wider world ready for whatever we want to do. We will always be proud Henricians!

GAMES DAY

On Thursday 10th July students in Years 9 and 10 embarked on a round robin Games Day competition, where Houses competed in a variety of activities. It was wonderful to see students engage fully in extra-curricular activities such as Handball, Football, Rounders, Cricket, Benchball, Tennis, Table Tennis, Basketball, Boccia and Board Games. It was a very warm day but students rose to the occasion, and did themselves proud with skilful demonstrations, tactical thinking and outstanding teamwork and team spirit.

Our students thrived in all competitions and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The points that were awarded from Games Day were then carried over to the House totals that would lead to the House Cup winners Lichfield being announced at the end of Sports Day. Mr Loader July 2025

Year 12 students had their own Games event on School Games Day in which they were competing for the Tutor Group Sports Cup. It was a hugely enjoyable morning and all of Year 12 took part representing their tutor groups in what became an extremely competitive morning.

They took part in a range of races including egg and spoon relay, sack race relay, over and under balloon relay, 5-legged race and ‘dress-up’ relay. The competition culminated in a very hotly contested inter-tutor group tug-of-war.

The results were very close at the end with 12MLP winning the cup and 12EG and 12MJC in silver medal position. There was some fantastic team spirit with tutor groups dressing to a theme and this year really raising the bar. 12CMR came as each of the characters from ‘Super Mario’, 12ND dressed as Cowboys, 12MLP were ‘My Little Pony’ including an inflatable unicorn suit, 12HBT came as all the characters in ‘Toy Story’, 12MJC were ‘back to the 80s’, 12EG came as American Footballers and Cheerleaders, 12MRL were all dressed as Bananas, 21EJL had the theme of ‘Greeks and Romans’ and 12PK came as Dinosaurs including 5 members of the tutor group in 7 foot inflatable dinosaur suits. It was excellent fun and Year 12, and their tutors, are to be congratulated on their willingness to throw themselves into the activities and the happy atmosphere of friendly rivalry that accompanied the sports.

SPORTS DAY Prince Henry’s Sports Day was an absolute thrill this year, leaving no room for disappointment! Students took to the track and field in the classic disciplines of running, jumping, and throwing, creating a day full of energy, teamwork, and celebration. The enthusiastic presence of our Sixth Form students added to the atmosphere, producing some truly outstanding performances.

Trophy Winners We extend our warmest congratulations to the following students, who accumulated the highest points in their year groups: • Year 9 Junior Girls’ Trophy – Erin Lilley • Year 9 Junior Boys’ Trophy – Matvi Malishevskyi • Year 10 Intermediate Girls’ Trophy – Natalia Lewandowska • Year 10 Intermediate Boys’ Trophy – Ollie Marshall • Year 12 Senior Girls’ Trophy – Lexie Griffiths • Year 12 Senior Boys’ Trophy – Luca De Freitas Pires House Champions • Year 9 Winners – Holland • Year 10 Winners – Holland • Year 12 Winners – Lichfield • Overall Sports Day Winners – Lichfield • House Cup Winners – Lichfield Every student demonstrated dedication, resilience, and teamwork while proudly representing their House. Even those not competing showed tremendous spirit, lining the track to cheer on their peers.

The atmosphere was electric, with cheers and applause boosting performances across every event — making this Sports Day one we will remember fondly.

Guys and Dolls In a fantastic showcase of talent, our students took centre stage to deliver a spectacular performance of the classical 1940s musical “Guys and Dolls.” The streets of Manhattan were brought to life with wonderful characterisation, impressive vocals, dynamic choreography, and vibrant costumes. The band, lighting and sound all added to the fantastic atmosphere within the auditorium.

The audience was treated to a fabulous evening with our students flawlessly executing the classic tunes and dance numbers. The dedication and hard work shone through, making the production a resounding success.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the production for another four-night sellout show!

Prince Henry’s School News A POSITIVE START TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR Students in Year 9 and Year 12 embarked on their first day at Prince Henry’s High School on 3rd September.

The morning began with an assembly in The Henrician Theatre, where the new arrivals were warmly welcomed by the school’s Senior Leadership Team and Year Teams. The assemblies served as a moment to foster a sense of community and unity among students preparing them for the academic year ahead.

Following the assembly, Year 9 students were treated to guided tours around the large school grounds.

These tours not only helped them familiarise themselves with the layout of the school but also allowed them to meet their peers and make new friends. The Year 12s had an additional treat in store for the afternoon – team-building activities with their form groups. These activities develop essential skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, which would be invaluable in their final years of high school and beyond. As the sun set on their first day at Prince Henry’s High School, both Year 9 and Year 12 students left with a sense of belonging and the promise of exciting experiences and personal growth in the days and months to come.

HELLO YELLOW CAKE SALE In support of World Mental Health Day, this week all our students have been encouraged to talk to one another about their Mental Health & Wellbeing as well as attending assemblies that have focused upon the theme of Mental Health and Wellbeing. #HelloYellow is a campaign by Young Minds to promote the mental health and wellbeing of children and young adults. Each year Prince Henry’s supports the charity by holding a cake sale.

We are all very good at looking after ourselves when it comes to our physical health and this week the students have been encouraged to place their Mental Health & Wellbeing as something that is just as important. Students know that they can support themselves by ensuring they eat healthily, exercise and get enough sleep as this all contributes to their wellbeing. They can also access help via the school’s website for further guidance and resources. When they do find themselves needing support they can contact their Form Tutor, Year Team or the Wellbeing Team. Parents/carers can also find guidance and help on a number of topics within the Safeguarding and Wellbeing pages of the school website and further support can be received by contacting the relevant Head of Year.

Prince Henry’s School News YEAR 12 ACTIVITY DAY AT WORCESTER UNIVERSITY LAKESIDE CAMPUS On Thursday 10th October, our Year 12 students enjoyed an action-packed activity day at Worcester University Lakeside Campus as part of their Induction programme. They tried a variety of physical activities including canoeing and kayaking. There was also a bush craft activity in which they built shelters and fires and did a blindfolded obstacle course through the woods. The students also all participated in a range of different cerebral team building and problem solving activities which were also part of the day’s programme.

The weather was very kind to us and we enjoyed lots of lovely October sunshine.

As well as having a lot of fun, it was good to see the students challenging themselves to try new activities and push themselves physically and mentally. The activities were designed to stretch and challenge them and to develop teamwork, leadership and communication skills.

It was a real pleasure to see the students throwing themselves into the different challenges and enjoying themselves; it was also an excellent way for the whole year group to get to know each other better. Our new Year 12 busied themselves making new friends, laughing with old friends, working in teams, picnicking in the sunshine and enjoying each other’s company in different surroundings. A good time was had by all!

OPEN EVENING 2024

Our annual Open Evening took place on 24th October, and as always, it proved to be extremely well attended. The whole school had a fantastic atmosphere, with staff and students taking delight in showing visitors the great work which goes on in all departments.

Dr Evans gave two popular presentations in The Henrician Theatre. He was supported in this by contributions from Head Students, Georgina Cook and Luke O’Brien, as well as Year 9 students Bess Taylor and Victor Wicher. The keynote speeches featured video presentations which demonstrated extracurricular life at Prince Henry’s and why it is such an outstanding school.

Thank you to all the students and staff who contributed to such a wonderful evening, whether it be within departments, performing, behind the scenes or outside on car park duties.

Prince Henry’s School News LES MISÉRABLES THEATRE TRIP On 26th September, 50 Drama students from Years 10 – 13 went to see the iconic West End musical, Les Misérables at the Sondheim theatre in London. It is now in its 38th year and despite no revolving stage, a different venue and a smaller cast than the original production, it was still fantastic. Highlights were Fantine and Jean Valjean as well as the amazing staging, lighting and effects. Many students were rather emotional as the songs are truly beautiful and really pull at the heartstrings.

You could have heard a pin drop when Jean Valjean sang ‘Bring Him Home’. It was a real privilege to introduce the next generation to Mrs Cook’s favourite show and to see how our students were so incredibly impressed by the calibre and professionalism of the whole experience.

Thanks also to Miss Rose and Mr Pilling for their invaluable help on the trip.

‘THE HISTORY BOYS’ DRAMA THEATRE TRIP Our GCSE and A Level Drama students went to see ‘The History Boys’ by Alan Bennett at the Malvern Festival Theatre on 17th October. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the play has been brilliantly reworked, capturing moments of sheer joy to utter heartbreak. The comedy scenes and the camaraderie between the boys were superb. Highlights for our students were the ‘French class’ and the nod to ‘Brief Encounter’. They also enjoyed the use of 1980s pop classics intertwined with beautiful, moving choral singing. It was a really wonderful evening, enjoyed by all.

Mrs M Cook Head of Drama and Theatre Studies

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING’ THEATRE TRIP On Thursday 13th March Year 11, 12 and 13 Drama students went to see director Jamie Lloyd’s new phenomenal production of ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ starring Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell as Beatrice and Benedick.

Bringing Shakespeare bang up to date and full of joy, this production was truly amazing. The stage was covered in pink confetti that continued to shower the stage throughout, portraying both poignant and merry moments in the play. The confetti was very cleverly used in the Benedick ‘trick scene’ and the great big inflatable red heart at the back of the huge stage was a constant reminder that this play is about love and forgiveness. The nod to Marvel went down well with our students and despite cutting out Dogberry and The Watch, this production delivered! Mason Alexander Park was a stroke of brilliance playing Margaret and we all thoroughly enjoyed the 1990s Club Anthems and the party atmosphere as soon as we entered the auditorium. We had the most fantastic day and our students were, as always, a pleasure to take. Thank you very much to Broadway Festival Arts for contributing towards this trip and also to Miss Rose and Mr Pilling.

Remembrance Service

Prince Henry’s students who are members of Sea, Air, Army and Fire Cadets, together with students from the Girl Guides, Scouts and Brownies, took part in an act of commemoration on 11th November at 11am to remember those who gave their lives in the service of their country during conflicts including the First and Second World Wars.

Mr Cooper led the ceremony which was complemented by a recital of the poem ‘For the Fallen’ read by Head Student Natalija Kelly and Deputy Head Students Ciara Hart and Caitlin Snell. The parade was led

by Petty Officer Cadet Nyah Anderson of Tewkesbury Sea Cadet Unit T.S. Otter, while Emily Byrd, Oliver Ching and Mr Fisher performed the ‘Last Post’.

A two-minute silence was also observed by the whole school community.

360 degree safe Online Safety Mark The foundation of the school’s online safety success is built on robust governance and well-established practices: “The school demonstrates that there is strong leadership for online safety, with responsibilities clearly understood and upheld and policies in place and embedded.”

The school’s “online safety policy has been developed over several years, is comprehensive and addresses technical, educational and safeguarding aspects” and is “updated annually, or more frequently if required”.

The school employs robust and effective monitoring, noting that “All school provided IT systems are actively monitored at all times, even if the equipment is off-site”.

Ron Richards, Lead Assessor for the 360 degree safe Online Safety Mark congratulated the school on its success and commented that it was reassuring to know that the school had put a lot of thought and effort into improving the on-line safety of the staff and young people, by addressing these important safeguarding issues.

Prince Henry’s School News SMSC GOLD QUALITY MARK Prince Henry’s has again been awarded Gold for the National SMSC Quality Mark in recognition of our excellent provision for students’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development. Mr. Russell Stanley conducted the verification visit on December 12th, along with parents/carers, students and Governors who took part. Our report highlights many strengths of our provision including equality, inclusion, extracurricular opportunities and enrichment. Mr Stanley commented on how proud students were to be a part of Prince Henry’s and how “… engaged and enthusiastic about all aspects of school life … they were”. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to officially recognise and celebrate all that we do at Prince Henry’s to engage and enrich our students in all aspects of school life.

MANJEET MANN VISIT To celebrate World Book Day, on Friday 7th March 2025, we had the immense privilege of inviting multi award winning author and actor, Manjeet Mann, to Prince Henry’s. She inspired both Years 9 and 10 with two whole year group presentations and a Creative Writing Workshop for some of our budding writers across all years. Manjeet discussed her unconventional route into writing, showing that it really is possible and realistic to become an actor or writer, no matter the background you come from. She encouraged students to not be put off by glass ceilings and to take charge of their own career by dreaming big!

Staff and students alike were engaged by the stories that inspired Manjeet: she discussed ‘mining her own life’ for inspiration. Her two novels, Run, Rebel, and The Crossing are stories born out of her own lived experiences. She motivated us all with her message: ‘there is a story in everyone’.

The day concluded with a creative writing workshop for aspiring writers. Manjeet showed us her strategies for starting a new piece of work – whether that be a screenplay, novel or play. The students devised some interesting plots; we are looking forward to seeing what they do with these!

We had an incredible day. Thank you again to Manjeet Mann for visiting us.

Prince Henry’s School News SIXTH FORM VISIT TO THE BIRMINGHAM CHRISTMAS MARKETS On Wednesday 4th December 250 students from Years 12 and 13 enjoyed a Christmas social trip to the Christmas Markets in Birmingham. Students enjoyed sampling the many German delicacies such as Pretzels, schnitzels, hot chocolate, bratwursts, and stollen for sale in the German market and also managed to get ahead with their Christmas shopping both in the Christmas Craft market and the more traditional stores. There were also fairground attractions such as a traditional Carousel and many students took to the ice, with varying degrees of success, on the outdoor skating rink. The afternoon provided a welcome break from studying after a busy first term for Year 12 and Year 13’s November examinations.

HENRICIANS RETURN TO PRINCE HENRY’S On Friday 27th September 2024, we were delighted to welcome some former students, as well as the grandson of a former Headteacher, back to Prince Henry’s.

Dawn Addison, Bill Barry, Alan Dufty, Jean Masters, Duncan Savory and Richard Stott all attended what was then Prince Henry’s Grammar School between 1954 and 1962.

Peter Haselhurst, whose father, uncle and aunt all attended Prince Henry’s in the 1920s and 30s, was the grandson of Dr S Rennie Haselhurst, Headteacher from 1920 to 1940. We are very grateful to him for donating to the school the books that were awarded to his uncle David as Speech Day prizes during his time at Prince Henry’s. Tragically, David died in 1940, having contracted TB whilst training as a doctor in Sheffield, and Dr Haselhurst died only a few months later. The beautiful books, each specially bound in a Prince Henry’s Grammar School cover, will make a very special addition to our school archive and LRC. The school is lucky to possess an extensive archive of old photographs, documents and a full set of Henrician magazines (which date back to the first edition published in 1924), and it was a pleasure to listen to our visitors’ reminiscences of their time at Prince Henry’s as they enjoyed tea and cake in the LRC and put names to faces in many of the photographs.

During their visit, our guests also were able to enjoy a tour of the school with our Head Students, Dr Evans and members of the Senior Leadership Team, and whilst the school has expanded and changed significantly in the last 60 years, The School, Holland and PRH were still familiar to them.

What was especially important for us was their recognition that the values and atmosphere within the school that they recalled so vividly still live on. Once again, it reminded those of us who had the pleasure of meeting these former pupils of just how special a place Prince Henry’s is.

Mrs Barker acts as the Leadership Team link with our Henricians community and is always delighted to receive news of our former students and staff. She can be contacted via the school’s email address: enquiries@princehenrys.worcs.sch.uk.

Prince Henry’s School News YEAR 10 DESTINATIONS DAY Destinations Day on Thursday 27th February was an action-packed day for all our Year 10 students to find out more about all the possible career and education options after school.

Students signed up for four sessions of their choice ranging from Accountancy and Aviation to Police and Horticulture. All students attended informative sessions on apprenticeships, colleges and Universities so all are now very well-informed to help them make their future choices.

The overwhelming response from our students was that it had been a tiring but very enjoyable day with many of them really pleased to have made useful contacts to help them with their future careers.

NIGEL HUDDLESTON VISITS PRINCE HENRY’S On Friday 8th November, we were very pleased to welcome Nigel Huddleston MP (Joint Chairman of the Conservative Party) back to Prince Henry’s. During his visit, he attended a Q&A assembly, where he answered questions from our Sixth Form students.

The assembly provided a platform for students to ask questions about a range of issues, including tuition fees and the American election result. Our MP was impressed by the thought-provoking questions posed by the students and was pleased to engage in a meaningful dialogue with them.

Following the assembly, Mr Huddleston joined the Senior Leadership Team for a discussion about the educational climate and the particular challenges currently facing schools.

Prince Henry’s School News MR ROSS GARRATT We were very sorry to learn of the sudden death on 9th December 2024 of our former Deputy Headteacher, Ross Garratt, at the age of 78.

Ross was a graduate in English of Southampton University and began his career teaching English at the Skinners School, Tunbridge Wells, where he met and married Jan, who was working at the nearby girls’ school, before becoming Head of English at Leventhorpe School in Hertfordshire in 1977 and later Head of Sixth Form. He came to Prince Henry’s in 1984 as Deputy Head, working with three Headteachers: Stanley English, Gorman Stafford and Bernard Roberts. He taught English and Drama, but his major contribution was leading the Pastoral Teams. He retired in 2003 after serving the school for 19 years.

Away from school and in his retirement, Ross was a keen rugby fan (particularly Northampton Saints), enjoyed playing golf and was a very skilful bridge player. He also served as a magistrate for many years.

A devoted family man, our thoughts are with Ross’s wife Jan, his children Ed (who attended Sixth Form at Prince Henry’s) and Kate, his grandchildren and his wide group of friends, including many of his former colleagues at Prince Henry’s.

MRS VERONICA MOST It was with great sadness that we heard the news that Veronica Most passed away on 7thDecember 2024 at the age of 72, following a short illness.

Having started her career as a Domestic Science (now Food Technology) teacher in Bedford in 1974, Veronica (known as Vron to all her friends and family) also worked at schools in Birmingham prior to joining Prince Henry’s in 1982. During her remarkable 29 years at Prince Henry’s, Vron played a huge role in school life, not just within the Food Technology Department, but also supporting the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and as a Pastoral Leader. By the time of her retirement in August 2011, she had been a Head of Year and Assistant Headteacher for a number of years.

In retirement, Vron maintained close contacts with her former colleagues, and we were delighted to welcome her back to Prince Henry’s in May 2018 for one of our regular Henricians tea parties Veronica’s family all had strong connections with Prince Henry’s, with her sons Alex and Tom both attending the school as students, and her husband Dennis being a Learning Support Assistant between 2003-2018. Our thoughts are with them, her grandchildren and her many friends at this very sad time.

Vron embodied all the qualities that we value so highly at Prince Henry’s and perhaps it is fitting that we share a few of her own words that she contributed to the 2011 edition of The Henrician magazine on her retirement: “I have enjoyed every minute of my time at Prince Henry’s. It has been my second home and my extended family….. I will miss you all but of course will remain a loyal and proud Old Henrician.”

Duke of Edinburgh

DUKE OF EDINBURGH – BRONZE On Sunday 11th May, Year 9 students took part in the training expedition for their Bronze Award. We walked 14km around Winchcombe, learning navigation skills and exploring the countryside.

The students all completed the walk and were in high spirits throughout.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH – SILVER Year 10 students are enjoying the outstanding beauty of the Shropshire hills. They have used map and compass skills to navigate previously planned routes and have shown great resilience in testing warm conditions. Students have shown excellent teamwork and assisted each other to complete all aspects of the expedition successfully.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH – GOLD On Monday 30th June, fifty three Sixth Form students started their Gold DofE expeditions in Snowdonia. In thankfully cooler conditions than the weather in Evesham and starting near Porthmadog, they walked for four days, covering 80km and heading westwards towards their destination of Betws-y-Coed. For many of the Year 13 students, the assessed expedition will be the last section of their Gold DofE that they need to complete in order for them to be invited to Buckingham Palace to receive their award.

The Year 12s are doing a practice expedition in preparation for their assessed in 2026.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME CERTIFICATE We are pleased to share with you the Social Value Certificate from the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme run here at Prince Henry’s.

Volunteering is an integral part of the DofE programme. It is about more than just students giving their time; their volunteering hours allow them to develop a passion for a cause or learn new skills that set them up for the future. We are so proud of the young people dedicating their time and energy to volunteering.

In the last year, students at Prince Henry’s volunteered for a total of 3,887 hours with a social value of £24,875.

We would like to thank all of our volunteers; their effort and achievement really does have a positive impact in the local community.

Prince Henry’s School News MUSIC WORKSHOP AT PRINCE HENRY’S Pupils from Bredon Hill Academy, St.Egwins Middle school and PHHS all took part in an instrumental music workshop on Tuesday 3rd June. The pupils worked on four Concert band pieces, which they performed in our first Worcestershire Hills Trust Summer Spectacular Concert on July 8th in The Henrician Theatre. This joint project will feature performances from each school in the Trust and some wonderful joint groups, including a choir of 100 singers. The first half of the concert mostly featured students from Blackwell and Charford First schools, Bredon Hill Academy and St.Egwin’s Middle School and the second half featured the students from Prince Henry’s High School. The finale of the concert saw all students involved coming together to sing a wonderful medley of songs from the Disney film The Lion King.

SKY STUDIOS TRIP On Monday, 17th March, our Year 12 and 13 Media students had an unforgettable experience at the stateof-the-art Sky Studios Elstree, just north of London.

The trip provided an incredible opportunity to step inside one of the studio’s brand-new 20,000 sqft sound stages, where the Oscar-winning film Wicked was brought to life. Students heard first-hand how the world of Oz was physically constructed and got an insight into the ongoing production of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie. While we may have just missed meeting Margot, the day was still packed with excitement!

A true highlight was the chance to film, direct, act, and edit in the studio’s cutting-edge Extended Reality (XR) studio, where students created their own pitch films using professional-grade equipment. This handson experience provided invaluable insight into the creative and technical aspects of filmmaking.

Beyond the thrill of being on set, posing with the Jeep from the original Jurassic Park, students also explored potential careers in the media industry. They had the unique opportunity to interview a current apprentice, gaining valuable advice and insider knowledge about working in the field.

The trip left students feeling inspired, motivated, and excited about the possibilities that lie ahead in the media and film industry. A huge thank you to Miss. Marcham and Mr. Robinson for their guidance and enthusiasm throughout the day.

This was truly an eye-opening experience, and we look forward to seeing where our budding filmmakers and media professionals go next!

Prince Henry’s School News CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF PUBLICS FINANCE AND ACCOUNTANCY On Wednesday 4th June, a team of seven Prince Henry’s Sixth Formers, who study either Business or Economics, represented the school against other schools from across the West Midlands in a competition run by the Chartered Institute of Finance and Accounting (CIPFA).

The competition took place at the De Montford University in Leicester, and was hosted by the Director of Finance at Leicestershire County Council. Students were given multiple pieces of information, and asked to create a budget for the council’s spending next year. During the day they had to react to a series of events, from which they had to modify their budget and give their rationale for why they had made the difficult choices. They proceeded to present their findings to professionals from the County Council and university.

Congratulations to Tamara Smith, Ailsa Preedy, Saffron Williams, Steve Unwin, Henry Ferguson, Tyrese Sibanda and Theo Mills who performed magnificently throughout the day and thank you to Mrs Gallagher, who arranged the event. Amazon gift vouchers were awarded to a deserving team.

BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS A LEVEL TRIP TO LONDON On a beautiful Spring day, twenty seven of our Business / Economics Sixth Form students travelled to London. In the morning, we visited the Bank of England museum, where we learnt about the role of the Bank, its history and how it holds almost 400 tonnes of gold. One gold bar was even available for us to lift, it was very heavy and well secured to the display cabinet!

After lunch, we visited Chelsea football ground, where we were given a tour of the stadium and a presentation on the business of football. We learnt about their revenue streams, global brand management, costs and the estimated book value of their assets.

The students were tremendous ambassadors for the school and hopefully learnt a lot about the City of London and the commercial concerns of a premier league football club. Thank you to Mrs Gallagher for organising a great field trip.

PRINCE HENRY’S INTERACT PHHS INTERACT SPRING SHOW The annual Spring Show was a resounding success. The audience loved following our festival friends, Yasmina, Iris, and Steven, on their first-ever festival adventure. It was a fun-filled journey, filled with the highs and lows of navigating the festival experience. Along the way, we were treated to an impressive display of talent from our student bands, musicians, dancers, and comedians, and everyone had fun during the sing-along at the end.

The Spring Show is entirely planned, developed, and executed by our dedicated Interact students.

It was truly inspiring to witness the show’s success, especially after all the hard work the Interactors and performers put in to bring the event to life, despite having only one day for technical rehearsal. The students came together as a team, and the result was nothing short of a triumph.

A special thanks to Miss Rose, Miss Maiden, Miss Barnes and Mr Pilling for their support throughout this ambitious endeavour.

Thank you to all parents, carers, and friends who came along to watch the show.

All proceeds from the show will be donated to our chosen charities: The Washing Machine Project and the Daisy Chain Benevolent Fund.

DROP THE MIC Drop the Mic was a huge success and a superb evening of fun and entertainment. There was a variety of performances including rock bands, dancers, singers and musicians, from moving ballads to booming show stoppers, it was an amazing showcase of talent. Students from all years worked together to put on this event: artists, backstage crew, technicians, box office and raffle and refreshments teams. Their combined efforts raised money for their chosen charities and altogether Prince Henry’s Interact has raised a fantastic total of £38,000 over the years through these events.

BLETCHLEY PARK TRIP 26 excellent Mathematicians in Year 9 visited Bletchley Park for the day. Students got to explore the site in the sunshine, visiting Hut 8, which was Alan Turing’s office during World War II, along with Block B which serves as a museum, outlining the history of Bletchley Park from its inception to its current iteration as GCHQ. After a picnic lunch by the lake, there was a guided tour of the Park where students learned in further detail about the inner workings of Bletchley Park and the varied roles of its workers. The day finished with opportunity for students to become codebreakers. Using a range of different ciphers, students decoded a message to reveal the name of an actual spy who worked at Bletchley Park!

SIXTH FORM VISIT TO NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON DC A group of 40 Sixth Form students made a half term visit to New York and Washington DC. During the visit, the Year 12 and 13 students experienced many different aspects of the culture, society, history and food of the USA. The visit comprised 3 nights in New York, staying next to Central Park, and 3 nights in Downtown Washington DC. As well as a packed programme of activities in both New York and Washington, there was a day trip to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall and a visit to George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon, in Virginia.

We arrived back in England on Saturday 8th March, very tired and with very high ‘step counts’, full of new experiences and the complete range of American food, carrying a vast array of souvenirs and having had a wonderful time.

Prince Henry’s School News BRITISH LIBRARY TRIP On a cold Tuesday morning, the Year 12 A Level English Language students set off on the coach to the British Library in London. Here students attended a lecture from the Dialectologist on Accents and Dialects and the many recordings of sound in the Library. Students then enjoyed visiting the Library’s treasures including the Magna Carta, a Shakespeare Folio and original Beatles lyrics. We then made our way across to Trafalgar Square to see the tree and the Christmas market. After some free time, we made our way over to Dr Johnson’s house and found out about how he wrote the first comprehensive Dictionary, leaving a lasting legacy on the English Language. The students had a wonderful time and it was a fantastic way of seeing many key topics in A Level English Language brought to life!

Prince Henry’s School News YEAR 12 VISIT TO LONDON On Activities Day the Year 12 students visited London and were able to enjoy a range of different activities.

The bus dropped the students off in South Kensington and some students chose to start their day at one or other of the different museums in Kensington: the V & A Museum, Natural History Museum or the Science Museum. In our Tutor Time over the past few weeks students have been researching activities and planning their days so some students chose to go further afield and had booked to go to an Escape Room and the theatre – one group saw ‘The Lion King’ while others went to ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. Some of the year group opted for either enjoying pottering around and picnicking in Hyde Park, bowling, shopping in Knightsbridge, Camden Market or Oxford Street, or going on a sightseeing tour around Central London. It was a warm and sunny day, and the students all enjoyed an excellent day out, arriving back for the return journey home in many cases weighed down with their purchases, tired and happy.

YEAR 12 HISTORY VISIT TO THE HIVE IN WORCESTER On Friday, 27th June, our Year 12 History students visited the Hive Library in Worcester to deepen their research skills. They took part in a specialist workshop focused on developing effective research techniques — an invaluable session for students undertaking coursework projects focused on the Vietnam War and the campaign for women’s suffrage. Afterwards, students had the opportunity to conduct independent research, making the most of the Library’s vast collection of historical sources. We suspect it won’t be their last visit as they continue to refine and strengthen their coursework.

CARDING MILL VALLEY TRIP This week, Year 11 students undertook GCSE fieldwork at Carding Mill Valley to investigate whether the Ash Brook fits the Bradshaw Model and how its characteristics change downstream. In the morning, they collected data on variables such as velocity, depth, and width to compare with the model’s predictions. In the afternoon, the students visited Church Stretton to assess whether the village acts as a honeypot site, looking at factors like tourist footfall, local amenities, and the environmental impact of tourism on the area.

MATCH REPORT: NATIONAL T20 CUP On a beautiful, sun-drenched afternoon at Wycliffe College, Prince Henry’s 1st XI produced a dominant all-round display to defeat the hosts by 37 runs in the National T20 Cup. Batting first on a slow pitch that was counterbalanced by a lightning-fast outfield, Prince Henry’s skipper Lewis Rollinson delivered a captain’s innings for the ages. Anchoring the entire innings, Rollinson scored a stunning 108 not out, striking sixteen boundaries and a towering six. His innings provided the backbone of a strong team total of 171, which always looked competitive given the nature of the pitch.

Rollinson was deservedly named Man of the Match for his heroic century and vital contributions with the ball, as Prince Henry’s continued their strong run in the competition.

It was a high-quality match played in the best spirit, enjoyed by spectators under perfect summer skies.

POETRY

Every term, our students are given the opportunity to contribute a poem to the Gazette which is written for students by students.

The theme for the Gazette is chosen by the Sixth Form Editorial Team every term. Often the theme is selected from our school values and sometimes inspired by the world around us.

We hope you enjoy reading some of the poems that have featured in the Gazette this year.

Mrs Barker

Cherish With every adventure and with every dream Our friendship blossomed like a flowing stream.

Through tests and trials we stood side by side And in the face of a storm we never hide.

With laughter as our armour and love as our shield Our friendship was a tight seal.

For all the times you calmed my fears, And a friend I cherish beyond all laughter and tears.

We step forward no matter the bend, I wish to keep you as my closest friend Scarlett Eagland

Forever Friends Peace is...

Peace is the hush for morning light, A dewdrop clinging, soft and bright.

The whisper of the walking trees, The hush between the breeze and breeze.

It’s not the shout, the clash, the cry, But children drawing in the sky.

It’s hand once clenched now open wide And wounds no longer need to hide.

Peace is not the silence born of fear But hearts that speak and souls that hear.

A bridge built strong from you to me, Across the depths of history It walks in shoes worn thin with grace And plants wild flowers in each place.

Where hate once scorched and anger grew It finds what’s lost and makes it new.

Peace is a choice, a breath, a start.

A candle held against the dark.

Not something found, but something made – A promise kept, a debt repaid.

So may we sow where once it burned And tend the world for peace hard-earned.

Let every step and every voice Declare that peace is still our choice.

Forever Reach Independent Empathetic Never alone Dependent Supportive Helpful Incredible Peaceful Jamie Cirulis-Tomes

It rattles around inside us, caged, trapped.

For it is within everyone, but only a few let it fly free.

For others it seeps through.

But for many, it is trapped behind built-up walls, The weight of which are suffocating.

The word is peace, and it doesn’t matter how high You build up your walls, they will always crumble And peace will prevail Paige Carpenter-Portman

Time Time is all around us, Time is in the air.

Time is in front of us, Time is right back there.

Time is an accessory, Time is a person.

Time is a decoration, Time is a version.

Time is an experience, Time is an age.

Time is a lesson, Time is a page.

Time is short, But long too.

Time is seen differently, By both me and you Harry Manns Page 74

I Observe Sometimes – almost every day – Grief passes through me as I realise All the years I have spent Deep rooted within the Earth’s rich soil I’ve never seen anything truly extraordinary.

Unlike birds or humans I do not possess the luxury of freedom The ability to see the myriad wonders of the world.

However I do suppose I am lucky enough To view and belong in many memories; The family picnics and the countless summers Where the harsh hand of the scorching sun Hits the world forcing many to evacuate for shade Under the span of my shielding foliage.

And I mustn’t forget how I witness the generations growing up From young innocent children, Who reach the sky as they climb my branches, Into teenagers, some of whom Become incredibly infatuated with each other And see it necessary to leave a reminiscence of their love By carving initials into my bark.

And eventually, some grow old Then bring their children back to me For Spring picnics and to introduce me To the next generation I will watch grow older.

With all that, maybe I am able to see something incredible.

I am able to see time pass by quickly each year, Never stopping, constantly moving, Whilst I wait for the future to reveal what mysteries It has hidden behind its back.

I have the honour to witness children grow up, Seasons continue their cycle and birds create their morning melodies Though I can’t move, I observe the extraordinary; Day after day, month after month, year after year.

WORCESTERSHIRE HILLS TRUST SUMMER CONCERT 2025

The first ever Worcestershire Hills Trust Concert was a true showcase of collaboration and creativity. We were delighted to feature a massed Concert Band of over forty musicians from Bredon Hill Academy, St Egwin’s Middle School and Prince Henry’s High School, alongside a rich variety of vocal and instrumental ensembles, as well as talented soloists. One of the evening’s highlights was a 140-voice chorus, combining pupils as well from Charford and Blackwell First Schools - a truly inspiring example of what can be achieved when we work together.

SPEECH DAY 2025 Our annual Speech Day took place on Friday 4th July. Our Chamber choir opened the celebration with a beautiful rendition of John Rutter’s Look to the Day before a blend of presentations and videos from Dr Evans reflected on everything that has happened within the Prince Henry’s community over the last academic year. We were delighted that so many parents, carers and other family members and friends were able to come along to the Henrician Theatre to celebrate the achievements of our students. Following the presentations and wonderful performance of We’ll Meet Again by Evie Hughes, we all enjoyed a buffet lunch in the Princess Royal Hall and Henry’s. Special thanks to our Guest Speaker, Dr Ed Garratt who spoke fondly about his father’s time at Prince Henry’s before reminding us all of the importance of trust and kindness in all that we do. One of our Head Students, Georgina Cook, gave the Vote of Thanks on behalf of the whole student body despite only returning from her Gold Duke Of Edinburgh expedition just hours earlier. Thank you to everyone who makes Prince Henry’s such a special place.
