Dear Families, Staff, and Students,
It is my pleasure to share with you the latest edition of the BWHS newsletter. This issue is particularly dedicated as an homage to our school production of Oliver. Based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens, the students and staff at Bentley Wood did an outstanding job bringing the story of Oliver Twist to life. The performance showcased incredible talent—from the atmospheric scenery, props, and costumes to the makeup, lighting, and behind-the-scenes efforts. The singing, acting, and overall creative delivery were truly exceptional.
This newsletter is filled with moments of pride, celebrating the achievements of individuals, teams, and departments. It is a testament to the learning that extends far beyond the classroom, in line with our motto: Learning today, Leading tomorrow.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our parents for their continued support, which makes these events possible. And, once again, to all the staff who dedicate so much of their time and energy to ensure that every student’s journey at Bentley Wood is rich and rewarding.
At the end of the newsletter, you will find our usual section on drop-offs and pick-ups. I’d like to draw attention to all staff and families who use the Bridges Road entrance to an email we have forwarded you from Harrow Local Authority about a proposed School Streets Scheme on the roads around Bridges Road.
As always, there is significant building work and improvements taking place during the holidays. Year 11, 12, and 13 students, please remember to sign in and out, and follow all instructions when using the school site during the half-term break.
Wishing you all the very best over the half-term holiday.
Kind regards,
Naseema Akbar Headteacher
