PRINCE HENRY’S HIGH SCHOOL An “Outstanding” Academy for Students aged 13-18
Headteacher’s Welcome
partnerships with our fellow schools, creating new opportunities for collaboration, professional development and educational excellence whilst retaining the distinctive character and traditions that make Prince Henry’s such a special place.
Writing my welcome message for The Henrician each year always provides me with the perfect opportunity to reflect upon the past twelve months and the events that have shaped our community here at Prince Henry’s High School. National and global affairs continue to present significant challenges and uncertainties. In a rapidly changing world, our work at Prince Henry’s remains more important than ever: helping our students to understand the world around them, develop resilience and character, and prepare successfully for their future lives. This commitment is reinforced through our assemblies, tutor programme, curriculum, enrichment opportunities and everyday interactions, all underpinned by our Prince Henry’s universal values including Courage, Courtesy, Equality, Fairness, Integrity, Kindness, Respect, Tolerance and Understanding. The 2025–26 academic year has been another exceptional one for our school community. As a founding member of Worcestershire Hills Trust, we have continued to strengthen
Throughout the year, our students have demonstrated the high levels of aspiration, resilience and commitment that characterise Prince Henry’s. From internal assessments and public examinations to leadership roles, enrichment activities and community service, students across all year groups have embraced opportunities to challenge themselves and contribute positively to school life. We look forward with great confidence to celebrating the achievements of our Year 11 and Year 13 students when examination results are published later this summer. Beyond the classroom, students have enjoyed an extraordinary range of opportunities. Educational visits have taken students across the UK and beyond, including visits to Berlin, Rome, Sorrento and Devon, alongside a wide range of subject-specific fieldwork, sporting and cultural experiences. Participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme continues to grow, with record numbers of students working towards Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards and undertaking expeditions throughout the year. Our Year 10 students also completed Work Experience placements across the local area, while Sixth Form students benefited from a range of careers and destinations events, including the successful Next Steps Conference. The performing arts have once again been a tremendous strength of our community. The school production of Anything Goes was a resounding success, playing to packed audiences across three evenings and showcasing
the remarkable talent and dedication of our students and staff. Alongside this, the Spring Show, Christmas Concert, Worcestershire Hills Trust Summer Concert and numerous smaller performances provided opportunities for students to develop their confidence and creativity, while the Art, Textiles and Design Show celebrated the outstanding work produced across our creative subjects.
The year has also seen continued investment in our facilities and future development. We were delighted to secure a £750,000 Department for Education grant to replace our ageing boiler and heating systems and support further improvements to Abbey Block. These projects will help ensure that our learning environment continues to meet the needs of future generations of Prince Henry’s students.
Student leadership and service remain central to life at Prince Henry’s. Our Head Students, Subject Champions, Service Ambassadors, House Leaders and Student Ambassadors have made an outstanding contribution throughout the year, demonstrating the values and sense of responsibility that characterise our students. We were particularly proud of the students who represented Prince Henry’s at Wychavon District Council’s Democracy Day competition, where they emerged as the overall champions. Interact members have continued their long tradition of supporting local, national and international charities through events such as Drop the Mic, fundraising activities and community service projects. Their efforts have once again made a significant difference to the lives of others.
As always, the end of the academic year is also a time to say farewell and thank you. This summer we celebrate the contribution of a number of long-serving colleagues whose dedication, expertise and commitment have enriched the lives of countless students. In particular, we thank Mrs Cox, Mrs Martin, Mr Dick, Mrs Boyle and Mrs Shalom for their many years of outstanding service to Prince Henry’s and the wider Worcestershire Hills Trust. Their contribution to the life of the school has been immense, and we wish them every happiness and success in the future.
Sport has enjoyed another highly successful year. Students have represented Prince Henry’s with distinction in a wide range of county, regional and national competitions, achieving success in Football, Cricket, Rowing, Swimming, Trampolining, Table Tennis and many other disciplines. We were particularly pleased to welcome representatives from the Football Foundation to see first-hand the positive impact that our new 3G pitch is having for both students and the wider community. The facility has quickly become an important part of school and community life and is already helping to expand opportunities for participation and sporting excellence.
On behalf of the entire school community, I would like to thank our students, staff, governors, trustees, parents and carers for their continued support. Prince Henry’s remains a remarkable place because of the collective commitment, kindness and ambition of everyone who belongs to our community. Finally, my thanks go to Mrs Barker, Miss Barnes and all those involved in producing this latest edition of The Henrician. I hope you enjoy reading about another memorable year in the life of Prince Henry’s High School. Dr A Evans, Headteacher July 2026

Head Students & Ambassadors
After such a fulfilling 5 years at Prince Henry’s it is difficult to say goodbye to the school and all the amazing people who have made our time here so special. As Head Students, we have been privileged to speak at many major events, but we have also been privileged to be given so many incredible opportunities which have given us memories for life. One of the determining factors in our success was the constant support we received throughout our time at Prince Henry’s. We would like to give our thanks to all the staff for their time spent going above and beyond to support us. In particular, to the Sixth Form team who work tirelessly to ensure we are given the best support and guidance possible. Our year group has had so many opportunities and we are mindful of all that we have been able to enjoy in our time at Prince Henry’s. The school’s performance of “Anything Goes” is definitely a highlight of the year, and of our time here. The opportunity for the entire school community to get involved on such a project, and then perform to sold-out audiences was something we will never forget. On top of the show, there have been so many wonderful extra-curricular activities constantly running, and we would encourage all prospective and current students to engage with as much as they possibly can! As well as all these opportunities within school, there have also been lots of exciting trips this year, from the Rome and Sorrento trip to the Ski
Page 8
Trip in the Italian Alps, students have experienced different cultures and learnt new skills outside the classroom. As students, we have been amazed by the feel of community within the school. The school’s charity group, Interact, has hosted many fundraisers – Drop the Mic, The Spring Show, and so many more. All the proceeds from these events have gone on to support the local and wider community, and it has been a pleasure to see students from all years joining to support the community and each other. We have been able to meet with Dr Evans and the Senior Leadership Team multiple times over the course of the year to discuss and suggest potential improvements to the school system and are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to do so – even if it was occasionally difficult to think of anything at all! In our brief time within our role as Head Students, we hope we have made a positive impact upon the school for the future. It certainly has had a positive impact on us. We will really miss the whole Prince Henry’s community; however we will look back on our time here with fond memories. We wish everyone the best of luck for the future!

GAMES DAY
Despite soaring temperatures of around 30°C, Wednesday 8th July proved to be another fantastic day of competition, teamwork and House spirit at Prince Henry’s High School as students took part in our annual Games Day and Sports Day. The day began with Games Day, where students enjoyed a wide range of activities designed to encourage participation, teamwork and friendly competition. From football, basketball and tennis to retro gaming, board games and many other events, there was something for everyone. Across every activity, students demonstrated excellent attitudes, enthusiasm and sportsmanship, creating a fantastic atmosphere despite the challenging heat. House pride was evident throughout the morning as students competed with determination and enjoyed supporting one another. Mr Loader July 2026
Page 16
Year 12 students had their own Games event on School Games Day in which they were competing for the Tutor Group Sports Cup. It was a hugely enjoyable morning and all of Year 12 took part representing their tutor groups in what became an extremely competitive morning. They took part in a range of races including egg and spoon relay, sack race relay, over and under balloon relay, 5-legged race and ‘dressup’ relay. The competition culminated in a very hotly contested inter-tutor group tug-of-war. The results were very close at the end with 12CM winning the cup and 12WSR and 12STG in Silver and Bronze positions. There was some fantastic team spirit with tutor groups dressing to a theme and this year really raising the bar. 12CM adopted the World Cup theme, all sporting Football shirts and with a giant football as their mascot, 12WMG came as each of the characters from ‘Scooby Doo’ including a ghost, 12HZL dressed as Cavepeople, 12AF wore Army camouflage, CLP were ‘Jurassic Park’ with an inflatable dinosaur , 12CPW came as characters from ‘Shrek’, 12WSR were Pirates including Captain Hook and a Crocodile, 12STG were all in blue, 12JO were farmyard creatures including an inflatable cow and chicken, and 12PB had an Hawaiian theme and accompanied the events with rhythmic drumming. It was excellent fun and Year 12, and their tutors, are to be congratulated on their willingness to throw themselves into the activities and the happy atmosphere of friendly rivalry that accompanied the sports. Mrs Webb Director of Sixth Form July 2026

SPORTS DAY Sports Days attention turned to the athletics track where students competed in a range of traditional Athletics events. The fields were alive with colour and noise as students proudly represented their Houses with face paint, homemade banners and enthusiastic cheering, creating an electric atmosphere throughout the competition. One of the standout moments of the day came in the high jump, where Lila Gallinagh produced an outstanding performance, finishing just 2 centimetres short of breaking A. Harrison’s school record, which has stood for 22 years. It was a remarkable effort, and we look forward to seeing Lila challenge the record again next year. Keeping everyone cool in the sweltering conditions, our Interact group sold ice creams throughout the afternoon in support of charity, with record sales reflecting both the generosity of our school community and the welcome relief they provided in the heat. Congratulations to all of our competitors and to every student who took part with such enthusiasm and positivity. A special well done goes to our individual Sports Day champions: Year 9 Boys: Jack Savage Year 9 Girls: Lila Gallinagh Year 10 Boys: Jake Paul Year 10 Girls: Poppy Archer Year 12 Boys: James Fair Year 12 Girls: Charlotte Poole A huge thank you to all the staff, student leaders and volunteers who helped make the day such a success. It was a wonderful celebration of participation, resilience, teamwork and House pride, and a fitting highlight at the end of the school year.

Anything Goes The school production of Anything Goes, a show that sparkles with wit and romance, was a spectacular celebration of talent, creativity and teamwork. Students captivated audiences with their energetic performances, confident vocals and lively choreography whilst our impressive technical team helped bring the show to life. With its farcical plot, larger-than-life characters and timeless songs, show week was a wonderful opportunity to come together and enjoy being creative and work together across all years groups. We are incredibly proud of our students’ efforts and know this will be a part of their school life that they will never forget. Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering another hugely successful three-night sell-out show. Mrs M Cook & Mr P Bullas February 2026

Prince Henry’s School News A POSITIVE START TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR We are delighted to welcome all our students back to school after the summer break! They have enjoyed a very positive start to the term and are settling very well into their lessons. Thank you for ensuring our students have started the new academic year wearing their school uniform with pride. We have seen this first hand over the last few days, through all students’ appearance in assemblies and around the school. Our uniform promotes a sense of belonging and an identity within the Prince Henry’s community, and beyond. Thank you very much to all our parents and carers for all your support during this successful first week back.

HELLO YELLOW CAKE SALE On Friday 10th October, students from across Year 9 and Year 10 put on a bake sale to raise money for the charity Young Minds. This bake sale was held on World Mental Health Day, and was used to raise awareness and funds to support young people with their own mental health. The students baked a range of goods for their peers and teachers, and raised an incredible £81.84! Well done to everyone involved!

Prince Henry’s School News YEAR 12 ACTIVITY DAY AT WORCESTER UNIVERSITY LAKESIDE CAMPUS On 25th September, our Year 12 students enjoyed an action packed activity day at Worcester University Lakeside Campus as part of their Induction programme. They tried a variety of physical activities, including canoeing and blindfold games. There was also a bush craft activity in which they built shelters and fires and did a blindfolded obstacle course. The weather was very kind to us and we enjoyed lots of lovely September sunshine. As well as having a lot of fun, it was good to see the students challenging themselves to try new activities and push themselves physically and mentally. The activities were designed to stretch and challenge them and to develop teamwork, leadership and communication skills. It was a real pleasure to see the students throwing themselves into the different challenges and enjoying themselves; it was also an excellent way for the year group to get to know each other better. Our new Year 12 busied themselves making new friends, laughing with old friends, working in teams, picnicking in the sunshine and enjoying each other’s company in different surroundings. A good time was had by all! Mrs Webb Director of Sixth Form

OPEN EVENING 2025
Our annual Whole School Open Evening took place on Thursday 23rd October, and as always, it proved to be extremely well attended. The whole school had a fantastic atmosphere, with staff and students taking delight in showing visitors the great work which goes on in all departments. Dr Evans gave two popular presentations in the Henrician Theatre. He was supported in this by contributions from Head Students Iris Risdale and Steve Unwin as well as Year 9 students Niall Archbold and Jorja Freestone. The keynote featured video presentations which demonstrated extra-curricular life at Prince Henry’s and why it is such an outstanding school. Thank you to all the students and staff who contributed to such a wonderful evening, whether it be within departments, performing, behind the scenes or outside on car park duties.

Prince Henry’s School News THEATRE TRIP TO SEE WICKED On Wednesday 1st October, 50 Drama students in years 10-13 had a visit to London’s West End to see ‘Wicked’. The performance was absolutely super and the students thoroughly enjoyed the production. A real favourite in the cast was Laura Emmitt who played Elphaba. Our students were very impressed as she was the understudy. ‘Defying Gravity’ at the end of Act One, ‘As Long as You’re Mine’ and the powerful ‘For Good’ really hit the spot and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Our students were a pleasure to take and a really fantastic day was had by all. Mrs M Cook Head of Drama and Theatre Studies

2.22 – A GHOST STORY DRAMA TRIP 30 Drama students from Years 10 – 13 went to see ‘2.22 – A Ghost Story’ at the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre on Monday 20th October. Following seven West End seasons, a record-breaking UK and Ireland tour and twelve productions across the globe, we were all very excited that the production was coming to Cheltenham. Everyone really enjoyed the play and despite the jump scares and the super creative effects where a lot of the students were a little bit spooked, the story was excellent and delivered well. A lot of the students did not see the ‘twist’ coming at the end and we were asked as an audience not to ruin it for anyone else who may be going to see it. The final moment of the play was ‘2.22 – Shhh…Please don’t TELL!’ Thanks to Miss Rose, Mrs Shephard and our Link Governor Mr Watson for attending.
Mrs M Cook Head of Drama and Theatre Studies
EDWARD BENNETT VISIT Actor Edward Bennett visited the Drama and Theatre Studies department again this year to deliver two workshops to Year 11 and Years 12/13. The GCSE students explored their set text, ‘Romeo and Juliet‘, looking at the balcony scene and the Sixth Form practically workshopped Beatrice and Benedick in Act 1, Scene 1 of ‘Much Ado About Nothing’. The students were really inspired by Edward’s ideas of vocal delivery and how to create meaning by using ethos, pathos, and logos. These ideas were explored and built upon with excellent outcomes. All of our students thoroughly enjoyed working together as a professional company and finished with a Q&A session with Edward.

Remembrance Service
Prince Henry’s students who are members of Sea, Air, Army and Fire Cadets, together with students from the Girl Guides, Scouts and Brownies, took part in an Act of Commemoration outside the front of the school today at 11am to remember those who have given their lives in the service of their country during conflicts including the First and Second World Wars. Mr Cooper led the ceremony which was complemented by a recital of the poem ‘For the Fallen’ read by Head Students Zoe Brotherton, Iris Risdale and Steven Unwin. The parade was led by Sgt Richard Talbot-Smith of the Pershore Air Cadets, while Mr Fisher performed the ‘Last Post’. A two-minute silence was also observed by the whole school community.

Prince Henry’s School News National Careers Week The week begining 2nd March was Careers Week, a celebration of Career Guidance to support young people as they explore their futures. At Prince Henry’s we fully support this initiative and so every year we have a range of activities before, during and after this week to support students. At this important stage in the academic calendar we are particularly looking at ways to help our young people to develop awareness and excitement about their future pathways. Year 10 had their Destinations Day last week during which they attended workshops with potential employers and education providers. This week a large number of Year 10 students will be attending the Skills Expo at Sixways Stadium in Worcester. Over the last few weeks Year 9 students have been choosing their GCSE Option Subjects for next year with guidance on choices to support their future careers. Then in the middle of March, most of our Year 12 students will be attending the UCAS University fair to better understand their options. Therefore, whilst celebrating National Careers Week, we are also ensuring that Career Guidance is not just about one week but a sustained, comprehensive and integrated approach across the whole school, across all year groups, which is age appropriate and which meets individual needs.

Strategic Safeguarding Award During May 2026, Prince Henry’s High School was awarded the Enhanced Strategic Safeguarding Quality Mark. The Safeguarding work carried out by Mrs Thorner, Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), the Safeguarding Team and wider school staff has been deservedly recognised by the Strategic Safeguarding Quality Mark organisation. The feedback from the school audit visit included the following comments: “Prince Henry’s High School has securely achieved the Enhanced Strategic Safeguarding Quality Mark, demonstrating that safeguarding is far more than a statutory obligation; it is the core business and vital thread that underpins the school’s entire provision. This is rooted in a clearly articulated and embedded vision that “Every Child Matters,” ensuring Safeguarding is consistently reflected in daily practice and leadership communication.” “The school distinguishes itself through a relentless focus on bespoke provision for its most vulnerable learners. On-site provisions create a genuine “family within school” ethos, where emotionally available adults deliver specialised, trauma-informed support for pupils, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs which in another setting limit might access to a traditional mainstream provision, not at Prince Henry’s. There is a sustained commitment to investing in child-centred, context-specific provision, enabling all pupils to flourish. This approach has demonstrably improved outcomes, particularly in re-engaging those previously at risk of persistent absence, with provision continuing to evolve strategically.” “A strong culture of wellbeing ensures pupils are supported to belong and thrive, extending beyond academic outcomes to prioritise the whole child. Pupils articulated a clear sense of mattering to adults, the school, and their peers, and were able to reflect on how this could be strengthened for others. Senior leaders reinforce this culture through visible recognition of pupils’ attitudes and engagement, fostering an environment where children feel respected, listened to, and empowered.” Well done to Mrs Thorner and her team who work relentlessly to safeguard the students at the school.

The discussion focused on how students learn in lessons, covering a wide range of themes: homework, private study, aspirational targets, exam practice, the importance of parents’ and carers’ evenings, professional development for staff, and academic development for students. Together, they explored not only what is working well, but also areas where provision and outcomes can be strengthened further. NACE is an independent charity, founded over 40 years ago, which works with schools, education leaders, and practitioners to improve provision for more able learners and to increase challenge for all. Its vision is that all young people, including the more able, have the opportunity to develop their abilities without limits – regardless of barriers to learning or the school they attend. This vision underpinned the discussions with our students, highlighting the importance of aspiration, equity, and challenge in every classroom. Prince Henry’s was proud to gain the NACE Challenge Award following its Ofsted inspection last year. This award recognises the school’s high-quality provision for more able learners and its commitment to raising expectations and standards for all.

PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION We are incredibly proud of our public speaking team: George, Sophie and Susie, who represented Prince Henry’s with success at the recent ESU Public Speaking Competition, hosted at St Edward’s School, Cheltenham. George delivered a captivating speech exploring Henry Ford’s philosophy, “Don’t find fault, find a remedy.” He impressed both judges and audience by connecting Ford’s words to contemporary issues, particularly the challenges of climate change, offering a thoughtful and inspiring message about modern responsibility and problem solving. Sophie received excellent feedback for her role as Questioner. Her insightful, probing questions demonstrated maturity, clarity and real intellectual curiosity. Susie, acting as Chair, was a consummate professional: calm, confident and engaging as she guided the audience seamlessly through the presentation. Competition on the day was strong, with other teams exploring a wide range of fascinating topics from the importance of music to safeguarding our online identities. Despite the high standard, our team rose to the challenge with skill and creativity. We are delighted to announce that George, Sophie and Susie are one of three teams to progress to the Regional Finals of the competition. Preparations are already underway, and we wish them every success in the next round. Well done to all three students; an outstanding achievement!

DONATION FROM EVESHAM TOWN COUNCIL FOR LITERACY RESOURCES
In September, Evesham Town Council very kindly donated £100 to Prince Henry’s High School in order to purchase literacy resources. We were able to put this money towards a bespoke collection of Barrington Stoke dyslexia-friendly texts. Each book combines accessible layouts, carefully considered fonts, and engaging storytelling to support readers with dyslexia while ensuring age‑appropriate themes and content. With a diverse mix of genres and voices, the collection provides inclusive options that help students build confidence, fluency, and comprehension. Last Wednesday morning was the first day that our Year 12 Reading Buddies group was able to try them out with some of our Year 9 students during registration in some paired reading. They were a great success!

Duke of Edinburgh
DUKE OF EDINBURGH – BRONZE Over the course of the expedition, the group navigated independently through classic Cotswold countryside – from rolling hills to winding footpaths. They worked together to follow their routes and it was great to see the improvement in map-reading skills over the course of the expedition. Their positive attitude never wavered, even when faced with tired legs, heavy rucksacks, the occasional navigational challenge or the unpredictable British weather! This achievement marks an important milestone in their DofE journey, and every participant should feel incredibly proud of what they’ve accomplished.
DUKE OF EDINBURGH – SILVER 36 Year 10 students are currently completing their Silver Duke of Edinburgh Qualifying Expedition in the beautiful Black Mountains, South Wales.

Both expeditions started off in Beddgelert on Monday morning. The year 13 students, aiming to complete their DofE, set off in a northerly direction after their assessor made it clear what was expected. The Year 12 students set off in an easterly direction, practising with staff the navigational skills they will need to do the assessed expedition next year. Both groups of students are appreciating the cooler temperatures than those experienced last week and are confident of making it to Betws-y-coedwhere their expeditions finish on Thursday.
DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME CERTIFICATE Prince Henry’s is proud to celebrate the remarkable contribution of our students who have taken part in the volunteering section of the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award. Over the past year, their dedication, compassion, and commitment to supporting others have been formally recognised with a Social Value Certificate, highlighting the significant positive impact they have made within our wider community. In the last year, students at Prince Henry’s volunteered for a total of 3,484 hours with a social value of £26,303. Volunteering is an integral part of the DofE programme. It is about more than just students giving their time; their volunteering hours allow them to develop a passion for a cause or learn new skills that set them up for the future. We are so proud of the young people dedicating their time and energy to volunteering. Dr Evans, Headteacher, and Mr Pilling (DofE Manager) are pictured alongside Eivina Baziliauskaite who is completing her Bronze Award, Jake Paul who is completing his Silver Award and Elizabeth Ukse and Mille Boreham who are both completing their Gold Award and are the first Young Leaders at the school.

MR BORNOFF ACHIEVES MOUNTAIN LEADER QUALIFICATION We are delighted to share the fantastic news that Mr Bornoff has successfully completed his Mountain Leader assessment, further strengthening our Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) expedition provision. The Mountain Leader qualification is a nationally recognised award requiring a high level of skill, experience and commitment. It involves rigorous training and assessment in navigation, safety, group leadership and outdoor risk assessment across challenging upland environments. This achievement reflects many hours of preparation, practical experience and dedication. Having an additional qualified Mountain Leader within the school will have a direct and positive impact on our DofE programme. We are now even better equipped to provide safe, high-quality and enriching expedition experiences, support larger groups and give students expert guidance as they develop their outdoor skills. DofE expeditions encourage students to build resilience, teamwork, independence and confidence. Having experienced and well-qualified staff is essential to delivering these experiences safely and effectively, demonstrating the school’s ongoing commitment to excellence in outdoor education. Mr Bornoff said: “Completing the Mountain Leader assessment has been a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience. I’m excited to use these skills to support our students on expedition and help them gain confidence in the outdoors; I can’t wait to get out there!” Mr Pilling, DofE Manager, praised the achievement: “We are extremely proud of Mr Bornoff’s achievement. It not only showcases personal commitment but also greatly benefits our students. Our DofE expeditions will continue to go from strength to strength thanks to his expertise.” Congratulations once again to Mr Bornoff – we look forward to seeing him out on expeditions over the coming week!

Prince Henry’s School News YEAR 12 VISIT TO CARDIFF UNIVERSITY 50 students in Year 12 visited Cardiff University, where they enjoyed a range of talks and a tour of the campus. It proved to be a good chance for students to explore a university campus and find out about the courses on offer at this Russell Group university. The formal talks were very enlightening and informative, and despite the rain, the campus tour was really useful. The day concluded with a Q&A session with current Cardiff students, which provided excellent insights into life at university, both academic and social, student well-being, the UCAS application process, different degree courses, and specific information about Cardiff University. This visit was part of the Post-18 options part of our Enrichment and Guidance programme.

HE+ POSTER PROJECT LUNCH On Tuesday 7th July, our HE+ students came together for a celebratory buffet lunch to present their research posters as part of the University of Cambridge’s HE+ Poster Project. The HE+ Poster Project is an exciting yearly initiative that challenges high-achieving Sixth Form students to undertake independent academic research and present their findings in the form of an academic poster. As a key component of the University of Cambridge’s HE+ programme, it is designed to stretch students beyond the classroom curriculum while developing the analytical and communication skills required for competitive university applications. Between mouthfuls of delicious food, students confidently presented their work to members of the Sixth Form Team and Senior Leadership Team, who were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional standard of the presentations. The variety of topics, all linked to the overarching theme of uncertainty, demonstrated both intellectual curiosity and academic ambition. Research areas included why we dream, the International Criminal Court’s ability to enforce international justice, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the global obesity epidemic, pharmacological testing, authoritarianism in Libya under Gaddafi, and the succession crisis after Edward VI’s death. What stood out most was not only the depth of research that had clearly gone into each project, but also the fluency with which students explained complex ideas. The project provides outstanding preparation for the independent learning expected at university and has given our students a valuable opportunity to explore subjects that genuinely interest them. Students will continue refining their posters over the summer before submitting them to the University of Cambridge by 1st September. Given the quality of work already on display, we would not be surprised to see one of our students recognised amongst this year’s prize winners!

Leavers’ Breakfast
CLASS OF 2026 We had a lovely final morning with our Year 13 students. They enjoyed a breakfast in the Sixth Form Common Room which was a very joyful affair with staff and students sharing memories over pastries, bacon rolls and fruit. This was followed by a final assembly in the Henrician Theatre. Dr Evans and Mrs Webb both reflected on the students’ time at Prince Henry’s and their many successes in school, thanking them for all that they have contributed to school life. The assembly finished with musical entertainment led by groups of students: singers, bands, instrumentalists and dancers. It has been an absolute pleasure working with our Year 13 students, and a real privilege to have watched them grow from Year 11 students into a group of remarkable young people. They will be very much missed and we wish them every success and happiness for the future.

PRINCE HENRY’S INTERACT PHHS INTERACT SPRING SHOW The annual Spring Show was a resounding success. The audience loved following the fabulous Steve and Evie and a delightful set of ‘Revolting Children’ across New York on a musical-themed tour led by Ethan and Edie. It was a fun-filled journey, filled with a really impressive display of talent from our student and teacher musicians and dancers. Acts included a phenomenal Pitch Perfect riff off starring Sixth Formers, Miss Jackson, Mr Timperley and Miss Maiden and a stunning rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables. The Spring Show is entirely planned, developed, and executed by our dedicated performers and Interact students. It was truly inspiring to witness the show’s success, especially after all the hard work the Interactors and performers put in to bring the event to life, despite having only one day for a technical rehearsal! The students came together as a team, and the result was nothing short of a triumph. All proceeds from the show will be donated to charity. Special thanks go to Mr Pilling and Mr Rees for their technical support throughout this ambitious endeavour and we would like to thank all parents, carers, and friends who came along to watch the show. In order to celebrate the success of the show everyone enjoyed a moment of reflection with tea and cake together at a Rewards Tea Party the day afterwards.

YEAR 12 MALVERN WALK Our Year 12 students, Dr Evans, Mr Freeman, Mrs Barker, Mrs Lungley, Mrs Webb and members of the Sixth Form Team celebrated our beautiful countryside by climbing the Worcestershire Beacon and walking along part of the Malvern Ridge. The forecasted sunshine and showers turned out to be mainly sunshine with only a couple of fairly significant downpours which did not daunt our spirits. Students and staff enjoyed the amazing views across the countryside from the Malvern Hills towards Bredon and across Hereford to Wales. The walk was quite challenging but with frequent picnic stops including a lengthy lunch in the sun, it was a wonderful day out enjoyed by all.

SIXTH FORM VISIT TO ITALY A group of 40 Sixth Form students has just returned from a six-day visit to Rome and Sorrento. During the visit, the Year 12 and 13 students experienced many different aspects of the culture, society, history and food of Rome and the Bay of Naples. After a very early start from Prince Henry’s, we arrived in Rome in time for lunch and then a walking tour of the city to get our bearings. The highlights of the tour were the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. We then had a day exploring Vatican City, St Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. The evening was spent enjoying more Italian food and some very competitive ten-pin bowling. The key sites of Ancient Rome were on the itinerary for the last day in Rome, including the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, The Forum and the Pantheon. On the way back to the hotel, we visited an historic Gelateria where we learned how to make gelato and enjoyed tasting the wide range of flavours. The next day we travelled to Pompeii to spend the day looking at the incredibly well-preserved remains of the town and learning about Roman civilisation and the disaster that befell Pompeii. Although it was very wet, we were still able to enjoy wandering around this world heritage site, marvelling at the condition of the buildings, frescoes and mosaics and we were particularly fascinated by the on-going archaeological excavations. Sadly the rain continued the next day, so a walk up Mount Vesuvius was not possible, but we were still able to visit Herculaneum to see the remains of the town and look at the artefacts that have been found, giving great insights into the lives and culture of the people who lived there. On the final day the sun shone to show Sorrento at its loveliest, and we made our last stop at a lemon and olive grove where we learnt about local products and had a hands-on demonstration of Mozzarella making. Our tour ended with a tasting of the cheese that we had made and other local delicacies.

During the visit, students demonstrated impeccable behaviour and engagement at all times. They gained a deeper understanding and enthusiasm for the city itself as well as its significance for their GCSE studies. Students had the opportunity to visit sights such as the Jewish museum, the Olympic stadium used in 1936, as well as exploring the architectural sights such as the Brandenberg gates and marvelling from above from the TV tower. Students were immersed in the history of the city as well as the culture and left feeling enthused about the city.

Prince Henry’s School News YEAR 12 VISIT TO LONDON On Activities Day the Year 12 students visited London and were able to enjoy a range of different activities. The bus dropped the students off in South Kensington and some students chose to start their day at one or other of the different museums in Kensington, the V & A Museum, the Natural History Museum or the Science Museum. In our Tutor Time over the past few weeks, students have been researching activities and planning their days, focusing on key skills of organisation, teamwork and independence. Some students chose to go further afield and had booked to go to an Escape Room and the theatre. Some of the year group opted for either enjoying pottering around and picnicking in Hyde Park, bowling, shopping in Knightsbridge, Camden Market or Oxford Street, or going on a sightseeing tour around Central London. It was an exceedingly hot and sunny day, so some students visited the Serpentine Lido. The students all enjoyed an excellent day out, arriving back for the return journey home in many cases weighed down with their purchases, tired and happy.

YEAR 12 HISTORY VISIT TO THE HIVE IN WORCESTER On Tuesday 16th June, the Year 12 cohort of History students visited The Hive Library at the University of Worcester. They attended a masterclass on how to successfully use the resources in the library, utilising secondary sources to help with their independent research for their History A Level NEA. They then had time to explore the collection in the library, exploring their topic in more depth. The students found the day a useful experience and left enthused about their independent research.
UCAS HIGHER EDUCATION EXHIBITION 110 Year 12 students attended the Higher Education exhibition at the University of Worcester on 19th March to begin their research into the opportunities that they have post A levels. With over 120 exhibitors there were lots of different stalls offering a wide range of options for the students to consider. The vast majority were representatives from universities and colleges but there were also exhibitors giving information about apprenticeships and internships as well as representatives from the Armed Forces. UCAS experts were also on hand to answer questions about the more general aspects of applying to university and there were talks on apprenticeships and aspects of university and the application process. The students all came away heavily laden with prospectuses from the different institutions as well as other promotional goodies: pens, hats, sunglasses, tote-bags and confectionery! The exhibition marks the beginning of the careers process for Year 12. We hope that they will read through all the materials that they have gathered and begin to consider the different types of courses and opportunities on offer. In June we will have our internal Next Step Conference at which they will attend talks and workshops delivered by universities, colleges, employers, and providers of apprenticeships, internships and Gap Years. Following this their tutors will use form time to deliver other aspects of our careers programme and to help students who are looking at university to begin their application process. The Sixth Form Team, the tutor team and I are looking forward to helping our year 12 students navigate through their options.

I am me and you are you, I am a girl and you are a boy. I am me and you are you, That makes me, me, and that makes you, you. Lexi Gardener

One Word One word can make someone’s day, One smile can make troubles fade away. Religions and opinions We listen without words, To make a more inclusive world. To feel safe, we need to trust, In the ones that we love, So we open up our arms, To embrace those who’ve been harmed. We are all just trying to co-exist, So what’s the point in “He said that!” and “She said this!” When struggling with problems, Talk to those who help often,
Respect Respect is a currency with no solid worth Except you can earn it through deeds and words. Society’s wealthiest are ones with respect People without it are often not their best. Extraordinary things are achieved from respect. The people that have it are Capital in their own sense. In short, respect is Terrifically the best. Lawrence Griffiths
Try your best not to judge, Or hold a grudge. Space is important, But not for too long, Connection comes naturally, Like birds singing songs. Treating yourself right, Is key to a good life, To help yourself blossom and grow. Remember to be kind For one day you might find, That someone’s smile made your troubles fade away. Harrison Ching

POETRY
Teamwork Teamwork is special, A bond formed by partnership, A net filled with trust. Teamwork is pleasing, It creates a sense of pride, Working together. All beings of life, Everyone uses teamwork, Ingrained into our souls. Prince Henry’s High School, Walls built on trust and respect, Built upon our pride Niall Archbold & George Turner
I am who I am I am who I am. I choose what I do With the freedom I have. I know myself And what I can do. I am different. The brown eyes I carry And hair I have shows My uniqueness. It’s better to be Yourself and not follow In the path of others Freya Friend

I Observe Sometimes – almost every day – Grief passes through me as I realise All the years I have spent Deep rooted within the Earth’s rich soil I’ve never seen anything truly extraordinary. Unlike birds or humans I do not possess the luxury of freedom The ability to see the myriad wonders of the world. However I do suppose I am lucky enough To view and belong in many memories; The family picnics and the countless summers Where the harsh hand of the scorching sun Hits the world forcing many to evacuate for shade Under the span of my shielding foliage. And I mustn’t forget how I witness the generations growing up From young innocent children, Who reach the sky as they climb my branches, Into teenagers, some of whom Become incredibly infatuated with each other And see it necessary to leave a reminiscence of their love By carving initials into my bark. And eventually, some grow old Then bring their children back to me For Spring picnics and to introduce me To the next generation I will watch grow older. With all that, maybe I am able to see something incredible. I am able to see time pass by quickly each year, Never stopping, constantly moving, Whilst I wait for the future to reveal what mysteries It has hidden behind its back. I have the honour to witness children grow up, Seasons continue their cycle and birds create their morning melodies Though I can’t move, I observe the extraordinary; Day after day, month after month, year after year.

WORCESTERSHIRE HILLS TRUST SUMMER CONCERT 2026
The second Worcestershire Hills Trust Concert was a true showcase of collaboration and creativity. We were delighted to feature a Massed Concert Band of over forty musicians from Bredon Hill Academy and Prince Henry’s High School, alongside a rich variety of vocal and instrumental ensembles, as well as talented soloists. One of the evening’s highlights was a 140-voice chorus, combining pupils as well from Charford and Blackwell First Schools - a truly inspiring example of what can be achieved when we work together.

CELEBRATION DAY 2026 Our annual Celebration Day took place on Friday 3rd July. Our Big Band opened the celebration with a bang before a blend of presentations and videos from Dr Evans reflected on everything that has happened within the Prince Henry’s community over the last academic year. We were delighted that so many parents, carers and other family members and friends were able to come along to The Henrician Theatre to celebrate in the achievements of our students. Following the presentations and wonderful performance of Rise Like a Phoenix by Evie Hughes, we all enjoyed a buffet lunch in the Princess Royal Hall and Henry’s. Special thanks to our Guest Speaker, Zoe Wenham who inspired us all with her ambition, determination and talent on the race track. One of our Head Students, Alice Collett, gave the Vote of Thanks on behalf of the whole student body despite only returning from her Gold Duke Of Edinburgh expedition just hours earlier. Thank you to everyone who makes Prince Henry’s such a special place.
