  • School production 'The Crucible'

    Published 09/11/16

    A fantastic cast of Weald actors performed to a full school hall, for our end of year production of Arthur Miller’s 'The Crucible'. The play is a fictionalised version of events which took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692-3. In the story, Abigail, the minister’s niece (played by Year 12 student Lily Niblett), accuses several local women of witchcraft, and a witch hunt ensues. It’s a challenging and gripping play, and highlights how intolerance and hysteria can tear a community apart.

  • Sponsored Walk

    Published 20/06/16
    On Wednesday 22nd June we held our annual sponsored walk.  This event has been running for many years now and, as with previous years, the school walked in support of our school charity Classrooms for Kenya.  We are hoping that the walk will raise enough money to pay for four more classrooms for our partner schools in Kitale, Kenya.  Many of these schools are in desperate need for new facilities as the Kenyan government only pays for teachers' salaries and not the construction of classrooms.  As such, schools rely on parental contributions to fund the construction of new classrooms.  In poorer areas of the country these funds are very scarce and this is where Classrooms for Kenya and events like the Sponsored Walk come in.
