Congratulations everyone! On 2nd of March all members of the Winchelsea school body took place in National Doodle Day.
The day focussed on raising awareness of epilepsy amongst our children and we would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Dennett (our Epilepsy Champion), who organised and coordinated the event.
Our efforts raised a terrific £85 - Well done!!

The day began with a good work assembly, punctuated by jokes from the giggle box competition - whic

To do this a risk assessment is conducted taking into account a range of factors including:
State of pathways, steps and slopes around the s

Today two of our school councillors, Craig and Ryan, represented the school at the Poole Secondary Schools Anti-bullying Conference. The event took place at the Civic centre and was opened by His Worship the Mayor of Poole.
The boys joined in with a role-play activity in the morning, where they took the role of an iceberg, before breaking off into groups. Working with children from the Grammar Schools, Corfe Hills, St. Alhelm's Academy, Ashdown Community College and Poole High School, the boys shared ideas about how to raise the profile of anti-bullying. They devised plans
Children remember, remembered the 5th of November by holding a sparkle party in the hall.
The classes had all made different foods for everyone to try...
They loved the apple-bobbing...
And they all loved dancing!
