From today, those experiencing domestic abuse will be able to go into a Boots or indie chemist & seek help. If they say the codeword ‘ANI’ they’ll be taken to a private room & asked if they want to call 999 or domestic abuse helpline. ANI stands for Action Needed Immediately

Hollie McNish had a good point over on Instagram. That if you or your kids are stressed by the idea of 'lockdown' and 'isolation' reframe the concept as 'hibernation' which makes it sound more fun and squirrelish.

Get up. Get a routine. Get outside when you can. Move more. Focus on the day in front of you. (Not the month or year.) Don't live inside hypothetical catastrophes. Focus on what you can control. Even if it is your breathing. Don't beat yourself up for not baking banana bread.

It’s okay to feel how you’re feeling right now. If you’re feeling worried, sad, frustrated or anything else about being in another lockdown, they’re all normal emotional responses to what’s happening. Be gentle with yourself. Text YM to 85258 for free mental health support.

Science

Scientific literacy and critical thinking is crucial in the modern world in order that young people are equipped to make informed choices throughout their lives.

The science department at Waldegrave School is a successful and vibrant place that works to inspire all our students to be inquisitive, questioning, creative and empowered.

We encourage students to go beyond the curriculum through competitions, after school clubs, attendance at scientific lectures, visits to museums and universities, taking part in discussions, researching ideas, STEM activities, joining societies at school and much more.

Students at Waldegrave are taught separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics from Year 7 onwards by specialist teachers. Lessons ensure that all students are appropriately challenged and everyone can experience success. We focus on developing important transferable skills like theorising, analysis and application.

Our GCSE and A level results are outstanding.

The numbers of students choosing to continue science at A level and beyond is a testament to the success of the department and the hard work and dedication of all the science staff, teachers and technicians alike.
