This week's WESPA Round-Up
Dear families,
Thank you to those who attended the online meeting this week. There was a lively discussion on all areas of our sons’ lives at school including careers, DofE, communications, clubs, opportunities in and outside school as well as how we can work together to support our sons. We have already given £9000 to school this academic year. If you’d like a copy of the minutes please add your email here:

The next meeting will be in the WES Library and we will continue to alternate between in school and online to make it as accessible as possible for all families.
500 Words Competition
Thanks to generous donations from parents, we have been able to continue to sponsor the WES literacy initiative. Congratulations to all the winners of this year’s 500 Word Competition! Thank you to Assistant Head Sam Nunnery for organising the competition and to our Governors for adjudicating - I hear that there were some fantastic entries. Winners will be contacted directly.
Year 11 Celebration - calling Year 11 parents!
WESPA is raising money for the Year 11 Celebration on 27th June 2024. The event is for boys and their teachers and will be run by volunteers. We are raising money to buy food and provisions for the BBQ that will follow the ceremony. It's a really fun evening and a great chance for boys and teachers to share a moment together on a really special occasion. Please help us to reach our target and send them off in style. Any funds raised over the target will go into other initiatives to support our boys.
Here is the link to the fundraising page: https://www.givey.com/williamellisschooly11celebration2024
We have set up a WhatsApp group for volunteers - please email me or Vicky (Year 11 parent and Trustee) if you can help. We will need helpers to set up, cook and tidy after.
Have a great weekend and if anybody is able to help with the new parents' event from 4.45-6pm on Wednesday, please let me know.
Best wishes,
Al
Chair WESPA
