QEGS Wakefield

Walking nine miles for a brilliant cause! 🏔️🥾🦷 We are incredibly proud to introduce Robert and Lilianna, who are gearing up for an inspiring charity fundraising challenge at the end of June.

They will be embarking on a challenging 9-mile hike up Ingleborough in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. They are raising vital funds for Dentaid, a charity dedicated to providing essential dental care and oral health support to individuals facing homelessness, poverty, and abuse both in the UK and abroad. ✨

They’ve been working hard training with regular long walks, demonstrating a true passion for giving back to the community and supporting those who struggle to access healthcare.

If you are able to show your support and cheer them on, the link is in our bio. Thank you!

🔬 What a fantastic couple of days filled with scientific exploration! We were absolutely delighted to welcome primary school pupils from across Wakefield for our annual SPLATS event (Students Presenting, Learning, and Teaching Science).

Hard work and big ideas in D&T! 🛠️

Our Year 10 students spent the day fully immersed in launching their D&T NEA coursework, exploring creative design possibilities based on their chosen briefs and identifying target clients.

They worked incredibly well together, demonstrating fantastic creativity and collaboration throughout the session. A brilliant start to the designing process, well done everyone! 🌟👏

A huge congratulations to Alice, Sophie, and Thomas, who had the incredible honour of receiving their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards at Buckingham Palace!

It was an absolutely spectacular day spent exploring the beautiful palace grounds and basking in the sunshine, the perfect reward for lots of hard work, resilience, and dedication.

We couldn't be prouder of your amazing achievements. Well done! 🌟👏

What an absolute adventure! 🌲🔥 Our Year 6 pupils had the most incredible time just before the half-term break, completely immersing themselves in everything the Bushcraft Residential had to offer.

From mastering the art of axe-throwing and shelter-building to learning how to build the perfect campfire, everyone gave it 100% and had an absolute blast! It was the perfect way to build teamwork, resilience, and unforgettable memories.

It was a residential filled with lots of outdoor adventurous spirit. Well done Year 6! 🏕️✨

Night one of High School Musical Jr. did not disappoint! A massive well done to our incredibly talented KS3 pupils for a flawless opening performance last night. 🙌
