New WES Film Coming Soon
Boys were filmed in school on Thursday for a special WES promotional film which will be ready in September to show to new prospective students to the school.
You might see some advertising in the local press too as we aim to increase our roll in Year 7 from September 2017 to 130 from 125.
Dates for Open Evenings and Mornings will be published on the school website if you know of any families who would like to visit us.
Awards Evening
The evening of 12th July on the final week of term saw the annual Awards Evening, when invited families came to see their sons receive awards for subjects, houses, PE and sports, contributions to Performing Arts, WESPA tutor group awards, Richard Knight Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, Heads of Year awards for outstanding student of their year, leavers’ awards and finally Headteacher’s award, which went to Daniel in 10W.
A full list of award winners can be found on a separate page on the website.
Art Exhibition
At the end of the summer term the William Ellis School Art Department had a private view and end of year show to celebrate the work made by the art students throughout the year. The exhibition was divided in to sections to showcase the variety of work produced by the students on the Art GCSE, Art BTEC, AS Art and AS Graphic Design courses. The private view was well attended by students, staff and parents with awards given out towards the evening with Pochara and Thomas in Year 11 receiving commendations. The work was varied with brightly coloured small ceramic pieces made to look like melting wax dripping off ledges, portraits of students in different guises, detailed pencil sketches and abstract paintings. The exhibition showcased the ingenuity, creativity and hard work of all the art students this year and was complemented with a nearby film screening room of A Level Film Studies students’ work. There were some interesting pieces like a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho shower scene and a personal favourite of mine was a zombie apocalypse film set in recognisable areas local to the school.
