Future Fwd

Warwick Schools Foundation hosted the second annual Future FWD conference in July, in partnership with the University of Warwick. The event brought together educators and business leaders who engaged in meaningful discussions on supporting and empowering the next generation. Following a day of inspirational talks on Monday, 3 July, delegates headed to Warwick Castle for an evening of networking, followed by round table discussions on the Tuesday. A massive shout out to our Castle Host Partners Kidzink // Creating Inspiring Places and VISR Dynamics for creating an amazing, immersive experience where the medieval castle setting was juxtaposed with futuristic VR learning and space design concepts.

Foodbank Fridays

“The foodbank initiative with The Warwick Schools Foundation is working extremely well and we are very grateful for the food donated so far as the Cost-ofLiving-Crisis continues to impact household finances. To date, we have been getting an average of 87kg per week totalling 1,481.10 kg.

As I am sure you will appreciate, given the current climate, the vast majority of the donation tubs at the local supermarkets are all down on the usual amount of public donations so, as Tesco would say, ‘every little helps’!”

Andy Bower, Operations Manager, Warwick District Foodbank

Combined Cadet Force

CCF gathered on the occasion of the Coronation of King Charles III - the coronation afternoon tea was a fantastic way to thank local volunteers. Senior Cadet Ed raised the Union Flag as part of the Prep School’s celebration.

The CCF Mess Dinner was held last Saturday as a thank you to the Year 13 cadets. Special guest Lt Col Matthew Boulter (OW and former senior cadet) joined fellow OWs Freddie Williams and Henry Plyming at the dinner. Lt Col Davenport gave his review of the year followed by Capt O’Brien’s vote of thanks to Lt Col Davenport as he steps down as Contingent Commander. The catering department put on a great night with a fantastic 3-course meal.

Orchestra Of The Swan

In May, the Orchestra of the Swan took us ‘Into the Woods’ with two classic tales, wickedly retold by Roald Dahl in a family friendly concert at Warwick Hall. Keep an eye out for new dates, to be announced in September!
