💚 Thank you for making our first Giving Week such a success!
As we come to the end of the school year, we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported our inaugural Giving Week.
From our fantastic programme of events to the heartfelt messages shared on the Gratitude Wall, the week was a wonderful celebration of the Woodhouse Grove community.
Together, parents, Old Grovians, Governors, former parents, staff and friends of the School have raised over £20,000 for our Bursary Fund, helping to provide life-changing educational opportunities for talented young people.
Thank you to everyone who donated, attended an event or shared a message. Giving Week may be over, but the appeal remains open until 31 July for anyone who would still like to support the Bursary Fund.

Last night we hosted our Giving Week 1812 Soirée and what a wonderful evening it was!
As our very first soirée, it was a fantastic opportunity to come together and celebrate the purpose of the Foundation, explore the many ways to give and launch the 1812 Bursary Campaign.
We had speeches from Eve Corry (Head of Development & Alumni Relations) and James Lockwood (Headmaster), who shared the impact of the Foundation and the difference our community can make together.
It was especially lovely to see such a diverse group of guests, from Old Grovians and current parents to staff, supporters and members of the wider school community, all united by a shared commitment to the future of the School.
A huge thank you to our brilliant School Choir for their beautiful performance, which made the evening even more special.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first 1812 Soirée such a memorable occasion. Here’s to many more!
As part of our fundraising efforts for Giving Week, we are holding a silent auction for a Kippax JB51 Cricket Bat.
A huge thank you to Old Grovian Chris Kippax, who has very kindly donated the handcrafted cricket bat for us to auction during Giving Week to help raise funds for the school.
The auction will remain open until 12:00pm, Monday 7th July, with bidding starting at £300.
If you would like to place a bid, please email your offer to foundation@woodhousegrove.co.uk.
Yesterday was the Year 9 Tug of War and just listen to the competitiveness! We’re sure all you Old Grovians remember when house rivalry was one of your biggest worries.
It was brilliant to see everyone getting stuck in and cheering each other on!
