A warm welcome to Hall School Wimbledon, a dynamic and vibrant place of learning occupying a magical campus in the heart of Wimbledon.
Here at HSW, we are very proud to be a non-selective school, precisely because we know that innate ability comes in many forms, extending far beyond the narrow metric of academic assessment. We don’t just ask ‘How smart are you?’, rather we pose the question, ‘How are you smart?’ Our cherished pupils make up a lively community of budding scientists, artists, dancers, authors, carers, musicians and athletes, all sharing a spirit of adventure and a thirst for knowledge. We work hard to enable every one of us to find our ‘element’ and to feel valued for who we are and the unique contribution we bring to the school. Many pupils will discover talents at HSW which they never knew they had, such is the privilege and pleasure of working here.
There is a buzz about the place, and so there should be; we believe that school should be a place where joyful memories are made and lifelong friendships are forged. We are united in our resolve to champion the deep-down-things that make learning and living together worthwhile. Our pupils’ jerseys bear the letters HSW, a daily reminder that for any of us to flourish and become the best version of ourselves, first we must look after our Health and Self-Worth. We constantly view the ‘whole child’ in front of us because we know that from self-worth comes self-discipline, which ultimately enables us all to reach our full potential.
What a week (so far)!!!! 🤯
Our brand new ‘tradition’, Challenge Week which saw years 3-9 enjoy a different trip each day of the week has come to an end 😢
For the past four days, students have visited the Science Museum in Kensington, Go Ape in Battersea Park, Albany Outdoor water sports in Kingston and gone orienteering around Box Hill, Surrey. We are exhausted just writing about it 😅
They have had the most incredible time and we wish we could share the mountains of photos we have - look through for a snippet of each adventure 👀
Tomorrow we celebrate HSW’s cultural festival so there is definitely one fun to be had before our last full week of the year comes to an end…
Challenge Week 2024!
~ Day One ~
Our first pictures are in, and whilst we would love to share the hundreds of photos we received from staff members on our four trips this week we simply cannot post them all! (Our newsletter will have a lot more next week, don’t worry 😉)
Monday looked like this:
Our juniors visited Albany Outdoors 🚣♂️
Year 7 Spent the day in the trees at Battersea Park Go Ape 🦍
Year 8 explored space and flight at the Science Museum in Kensington 🚀
Year 9 orienteered their way around Box Hill 🌳
On Thursday afternoon, Students from year 7, 8, 9 and 10 immersed themselves in the world of mask performance through an engaging workshop hosted by Vamos Theatre Company yesterday afternoon. Known for their innovative approach to full mask theatre, Vamos guided the students through the intricacies of non-verbal storytelling, expressive movement, and character creation. The students explored characterisation and ended the workshop by devising their own scenes 🎭
We really are coming towards the end of the school year, but the learning, activities and fun are still ramping up ☺️
Our advanced horse riding group have been practising their jumps at the stables.. take a look!
What a fabulous final open morning of the year we had this week! With so many prospective families joining us, the sun shone down as Mr Hammond spoke about our bespoke learning opportunities here at HSW before handing over to our student tour guides! Our guests were shown round by individuals who know the school best, those who are here learning something new every day. We can’t wait to get to know all the new faces joining us this September and in the future 🥳
Our year 5 class have safely arrived at their residential trip today and are already enjoying their challenges out in nature!
Year 6 have enjoyed the first day on their residential trip! Full details and a lot more photos will come soon but take a look at a slice of the fun so far 🧗☀️🌳
