Congratulations to Tomlinson who were Venture winners for this half term. All the half termly totals are being calculated and the Venture Cup will be presented at the end of the year. Well done to all our year 7, 8 and 9 students who worked so hard to win points for their houses.

Year 7 had a fun morning taking part in an Enterprise competition creating a product that could stop students from losing their equipment. There were some wonderful ideas and designs and they had a great time presenting their ideas to each other.

Congratulations to Bremner who won the Talent Show this afternoon with an amazing drum performance. Congratulations to all our performers today, they truly were magnificent.

There's a fizz of excitement around school as the Wetherby High Talent Show returns. There will be three performances throughout the day with two acts from each house competing. The first performance was outstanding and our students are not only brave but so talented too.

Our students have worked really hard to win points for their house in Venture this half term and all these points will be added together at the end of the year to hand out to the overall Venture winner. This half term, however, Robinson has been victorious.

It was a joy to see our Class of 2025 return for their reunion and certificate collection. It was lovely to hear of their next steps and how well they are doing at their post-16 providers. We were all delighted to see them and we do hope that they will stay in touch.

Yesterday, we welcomed senior citizens from the community to join us for a festive afternoon. They enjoyed tea and cakes whilst listening to our choir singing Christmas songs. Following this they joined in with Christmas bingo, rounding off the afternoon with a sing-along.

The news you have all been waiting for is finally in. The overall winners of the House Tug of War this year is Bremner. Well done to all our students who participated and made it such a fun competition.

It was Robinson win in the Year 9 House tug of war meaning the overall results will currently be very close. Year 10 and 11 will be the deciders! Well done to all students who took part today.

Another closely fought contest in the House Tug of War competition resulted in a Trueman win. These competitions mean a lot to our students and it is impressive to watch how much effort they put in for their house. Well done to everyone who took part.

Year 5 students from Crossley Street Primary and Tockwith CofE Primary had a great afternoon learning new hockey skills and taking part in fun activities with our Year 10 Sports Leaders. All our visitors worked really hard and impressed our Sports Leaders. Well done to everyone.

Year 9 had an informative and enlightening day yesterday, working with Solutions for the Planet. They were supported in creating their own Big Ideas to promote sustainability. Some students were confident in their ideas and presented them to the rest of the year group.

This week our Key Stage 3 students are involved with the Art House competition during their lessons. Using their knowledge they have to create a timeline of different art techniques, from the earliest to the most recent. Good luck to all our houses!

Yesterday our students celebrated Diwali, creating house rangoli drawings and decorating their hands with elaborate 'henna' designs. They also enjoyed tasting foods created especially for Diwali.

[Wetherby High School @WetherbyHigh]

Our Year 7's had a great time yesterday learning the essential life saving skill of CPR. They were able to practise their skills on our mannequins and were competently helped by six volunteers from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service who we thank for giving up their valuable time.

[Wetherby High School @WetherbyHigh]

What a race! Bremner held first place for a lot of the race, eventually getting overtaken by both Trueman and Robinson despite their best efforts to fight off the competition. The final results were Trueman, Robinson, Bremner and Tomlinson. Well done to everyone who competed.

[Wetherby High School @WetherbyHigh]

The excitement is building for the Wetherby Dash which takes place in 2 hours. Tomlinson narrowly beat Bremner last year but who will take the top spot this year?
