We asked our children and young people about their best day at school. They were quick to share their favourite memories with us, resulting in this... From their first day to class trips and more, it's easy to see why every one of our schools is Ofsted-rated Good or Outstanding.

We always seize the opportunity to ‘wow’ our children and young people, and thanks to our Futures programme, these moments happen often. Recently, through our partnership with Inclusion Housing, pupils from Oversands School explored career opportunities in the housing sector. They toured various accommodations, spoke with residents and staff, and even mastered darts in the activity room. This experience ignited their curiosity, preparing them for life beyond the classroom.
At WG, we are proud to have a diverse team that feels welcomed and accepted no matter what. 🏳️🌈 We believe in celebrating and acknowledging the LGBTQ+ community every single day, but we also recognise the importance of supporting Pride Month as a reminder that there is still work to be done.

Hollie from our Lavender Lodge School tells us why Pride month is so important adding: 'In the words of Ru Paul Charles, "if you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?!" Happy pride month to everyone celebrating and thanks for the continued support of all the LGBTQ+ colleagues in the group ❤️' Join us in spreading love and acceptance for all this Pride Month and beyond. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive world for everyone.

✨ The Power of a Great Teacher ✨ This week we spoke to Rona who is an Art teacher at Chilworth House Upper School.
