Last Saturday night two Wildern students, Lizzie R and Eddie R, laid a wreath at the Menin Gate on behalf of the Wildern community to honour and remember those that lost their lives in the First World War. The wreath carried a thoughtfully penned messages from fellow student Harry P. We were immensely proud of how they represented the school.
Year 9 thoroughly enjoyed having the Solomans theatre company in school on Wednesday as part of the Education for Life programme.
On Thursday evening we had our Year 11 Parents' evening which was a huge success. Thank you to all those that attended virtually. Next is a Year 7 meet the tutor and information evening on the 9th November 2023, more information to follow soon.

Walktober 2023 is about to begin we are encouraging all students to Get moving this Walktober! By walking, wheeling, cycling, scooting, using Park and Stride or public transport together we will reduce car use, benefit health and wellbeing, have a positive impact on the local community by reducing congestion and improve air quality.
We have set four challenges to help get moving this Walktober, plus a bonus task for the final two days. Remember, students can choose their own active travel challenges but if you would like to have a go at the suggested challenges below are some ideas to help.
Week 3 – Travel a mile or more: Can you travel a mile or more using active travel this week?
For this challenge you could:
- Walk, wheel or run round the school playground at break and lunchtime.
- Use Google maps to plot and measure a route near your home to walk, wheel, scoot or cycle after school or at the weekend.
- Find out the distance of your bus journey.
- Visit somewhere new by train at the weekend.
- Park and Stride, or get dropped off, quarter of a mile from school for four mornings or more.
