South Wigston High School

Our learners have returned from an unforgettable trip to Valencia!

During their time in Spain, students immersed themselves in the local culture by attending lessons at a Spanish school, exploring the beautiful old town and visiting one of Valencia’s stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sites. They also enjoyed visits to the incredible Oceanogràfic, the Science Museum and some of the city’s popular shopping centres.
Most importantly, every single pupil represented South Wigston High School brilliantly throughout the trip. Their behaviour, manners and enthusiasm were exceptional, and we were incredibly proud to receive praise from the hostel owner, who described them as “the best school group we’ve ever had.”

A huge well done to all involved for making the trip such a memorable success!

Today marks the start of GCSE exams for many of our learners.

We would like to wish every learner the very best of luck over the coming weeks. You have worked incredibly hard to get to this point and we are proud of the determination, resilience and commitment you have shown throughout your journey.

Believe in yourselves, stay focused and remember to give each exam your very best effort. We are all behind you.

Yesterday learners recently enjoyed an unforgettable trip to London to see Disney’s The Lion King in the West End.

Our learners loved being in London and the show was incredible!

A fantastic day from start to finish. 🦁🎭✨
