2/10/2025Today, we celebrate National Poetry Day.
We are diving into a story where poetry is the story? Whether you're a football fanatic or a word wizard, Booked will have you hooked from page one.
Written in dynamic verse, Booked follows 12-year-old Nick as he navigates school, soccer, and family drama—all told through Kwame Alexander’s signature poetic style. It’s fast-paced, funny, and deeply moving.
Available now in the library—come grab your copy and celebrate the power of poetry!
1/10/2025📣 Open Evening tomorrow night...
This is a chance for prospective students to visit with their families, tour the school, meet staff and current students and get a taste of life at Woolmer Hill.
There is no need to book for a tour, simply turn up and see why we are the top school for progress in Surrey.
Please be aware that the event finishes at 19:00, and in order to fully explore all that we offer, we recommend you allow at least an hour to tour the school.
