Visit from famous children's author
We were bowled over by our visit from Meg Rosoff last term. She came and shared luncch with our Reading Group and then spoke to the older students and many staff. Meg donated an audio copy of her latest book, 'The Bride's Farewell' and the students found her talk absolutely inspirational. Many wrote heart felt thank you letters to her and we were very grateful to the RNIB Natinoal Library who organised and funded the visit. Since it took place many more students have been enjoying Meg's books.
German Exchange - 20 years celebration!
NCW recently celebrated it’s 20th year of exchange with our partner school in Marburg (Germany). To mark the occasion, a small group of our students and our visitors went to meet the Lord Mayor in his Parlour in Worcester’s Guildhall. This was followed by tea and an informal chat, before a photographer from the local press came to take a photo of us with the Mayor. Fame at last!
The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the party we held, where former students and staff from previous exchange visits had been invited back to join in with the celebrations. A real blast from the past! It was great to have the opportunity to catch up with everyone and hear their news. One of the former students, who left NCW in 1991, said it had been a “thoroughly enjoyable day” and added “Let’s do it again for 30 years.” Well, here’s to the next 10 years!
