In celebration of Sixth Form student Tori tells us about her time as a boarding student being far away from home.

“From when I first started at the College in Senior School to now in Year 13, I have truly loved my time here, especially as a boarder. Boarding has helped me build close friendships that I believe will last a lifetime, while also allowing me to form strong friendships with day students.

“Studying Sport has been another highlight, as it allows me to study something I am genuinely passionate about. Being part of the 1st team football has helped me develop my skills, confidence and teamwork while creating unforgettable memories.

“Overall, Wymondham has given me lifelong friendships, valuable experiences and opportunities that have helped shape who I am. I am incredibly grateful for my time here and will always look back on it with pride and appreciation.”
Tori, Year 13 student from Bermuda

To support our Year 11s in their preparation for upcoming mock exams, Elevate Education were in today running sessions focussed on Time Management which all Year 11 students attended. These sessions explored developing an appropriate and sustainable study routine, how to avoid procrastination, and how to identify the activities which are best suited to maximising learning and retention of knowledge.

Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive about the clarity of the message and their enjoyment of the sessions. We hope the strategies explored prove useful to them over the coming weeks.

Our students enjoyed an exciting trip to New Scientist Live 2026 in London, exploring the fascinating world of science, technology, engineering and innovation!
From emerging technologies to the big scientific questions shaping our future, the exhibition offered an opportunity to see science brought to life beyond the classroom.
Students had the opportunity to:
🔹 Explore the latest developments in science and technology.
🔹 Discover how STEM subjects connect to real-world challenges, from climate change and sustainability to medicine and space exploration.
🔹 Learn about the wide range of careers and pathways available in science, engineering and research.
🔹 See how curiosity, creativity and problem-solving drive scientific breakthroughs.
Most importantly, the visit encouraged students to ask questions, think beyond the curriculum and imagine where their own interests and talents might take them.
A brilliant reminder that science isn't just something we study, it's something that shapes our world and our future!
