The big move to Big School

Well done to all Year 7 students who have made the successful transition to Senior School. Year 7 marks a key transition between primary and secondary school life and the start of an exciting and special journey at Wolverhampton Grammar School. Year 7 students have started to develop a strong sense of community by taking part in inter-form competitions and events. Prefects, Rosie and Oliver, are also responsible for helping Year 7 settle into the Senior School and took a role in delivering the news to all form groups when their new form names were announced.

Mr Birch worked closely with Mrs Erskine, Development Director, to communicate with six Old Wulfrunians, all former Head Boys and Head Girls or their families that the School would like to name a form group in their honour.

Mrs Clarke's form is now 7WB named after William Beards (OW 2020).

Mrs Fellows's form is now 7MS named after Mia Seager (OW 2020).

Dr Green's form is 7EA named after Lizzie Anderson (OW 2021).

Dr Pounder's form is now called 7BT named after Brandon Taylor (OW 2021).

Mrs Rowley's form is now 7LD named after Lauren Dennis (OW 2013). Lauren sadly passed away in 2018, aged 23.

Mr Smith's form is now 7AM named after Amandip Maheru (OW 1992). Amandip sadly passed away in 2011, aged 37.

Have you seen our new House ties?

After a very successful and eventful House Reveal in July, students in Years 8 - Upper Sixth were given their new House ties on the first day back to School in September.

The House system continues to flourish across the Senior School with our new pastoral hub in The Derry and the competitive edge that being assigned to a House gives each student. House events and competitions are certainly bringing our community even closer together.

These names will change each year with the exception of Lauren Dennis and Amandip Maheru who, in memory of them, will remain form names in the coming years.

Each OW or their families wrote a good luck card to their respective form groups. These were shown and read by this year's Prefect team Rosie Bennett and Oliver Brookes. Rosie and Oliver are also the Year 7 Captains and help Mr Birch and Year 7 form tutors organise fun activities for the students.
