18/11/2024Our ‘Proud to Belong; Community’ value was at the heart of a co-curricular trip last week when the Music Department took a small group of Year 7 students to the Chestnut View Care Home in Haslemere.
The group, accompanied by Mrs Young, performed an afternoon concert for the care home residents with songs focused on ‘growing up’. The students gave rousing renditions of ‘When I Grow Up’ from the musical Matilda and ‘A Million Dreams’ from The Greatest Showman, amongst others.
The students then enjoyed refreshments with the residents and had an opportunity to hear their stories and experiences about growing up.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
Welcome to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme at Woolmer Hill School.
The Duke of Edinburgh's (DofE) Award is a high quality, enjoyable, challenging and rewarding programme of personal development activities for young people aged 14 – 25. It's all about going the extra mile – gaining new skills, pushing yourself physically, helping others and exploring new territories. At the same time, you’ll gather friendships, experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.
Woolmer Hill School provides an exciting opportunity for students to take part in the DofE Award programme which will aid character development in an environment of social interaction and teamwork. We currently offer opportunities for students to gain their Bronze Award and are very excited about being able to launch our first Silver Award as of December 2022.
