Great Men Lecture Series

The Great Men Lecture Series

Teachers are so much more than educators. They are role models, mentors, wellbeing support, the list goes on… And they often go far beyond their duties to do what is best for their students. Teachers, thank you for all you do 💛 #WorldTeachersDay

Congratulations to our class of 2021 on their excellent A Level results - we’re incredibly proud of you all. 👏👏👏 @Alpha_PlusGroup #alevelresults2021

It was such a pleasure to have Natasha Devon MBE in to talk to Y8 & 10 @WetherbySenior boys on Friday. Her presentations on Social Media & Self-Esteem & How to Support a Friend with their Mental Health were brilliant. Thank you @_NatashaDevon #mentalhealth #greatmen #wss

@HillaryforPrz @WetherbySenior Thank you, that’s so great to hear! It was such an interesting talk.

@GreatMenSeries @WetherbySenior My son totally enjoyed the talk and so happy to hear about his experiences!

Another fantastic Great Men Lecture this afternoon. Our guest speaker shared his experience working as a foreign correspondent all over the world - lots of really interesting stories and insightful questions from @WetherbySenior boys. #rolemodels #values #greatmen #careers

We are looking forward to our next Great Men Lecture tomorrow @WetherbySenior A fantastic opportunity for boys to hear stories from a foreign correspondent, and for any budding journalists to ask careers based questions. #greatmenlectureseries #greatmen #rolemodels

Our fantastic peer mentors spent time in tutor groups today, meeting boys and talking to them about our peer mentoring initiative. @WetherbySenior #greatmen #itsgoodtotalk #rolemodels #teamwetherby

It's been great to start working (online) with young people in schools again after lockdown pause. There's so much change happening at the moment, so it felt maybe even more important to open up these spaces for questions and sharing. Thanks @WetherbySenior for having us!

We asked Year 9 @WetherbySenior what they learned & enjoyed from the @Beyond_Equality workshops...... "Everyone sees things very differently", "Gender shouldn't affect what you can and can't do", "how stereotypes are damaging", "the debate & the chance to share opinions",

The second Y9 workshop with @Beyond_Equality has begun. ‘It’s weak for men to cry.’ @WetherbySenior #rethinkingmasculinity #teamwetherby #challengingperspectives

Word association clouds in the first workshop with @Beyond_Equality #gettingtheconversationstarted #greatmen #rethinkmasculinity #teamwetherby @WetherbySenior

We might be online but we are grateful that we can still continue our work with @Beyond_Equality (formally @GLInitiative). Year 9 boys have the first of 2 online workshops this Friday. @WetherbySenior #greatmen #teamwetherby #beyondequality

Many thanks to our Head Boy, Monty, and his deputies for hosting assembly this afternoon. Lots of advice and words of wisdom for the younger boys. @Alpha_PlusGroup #schoolassembly #WordsOfWisdom #marylebone

We are delighted that our pioneer leavers have achieved such an outstanding set of A level results. 58% A*-A, 85% A*-B. Boys are moving on to top universities in the UK, US and Europe. Well done! @WetherbySenior @Alpha_PlusGroup @isaschools

Today, the English Department will launch the 'Educate and Celebrate' reading project. We ask each member of our school community to read at least one book by a BAME author in a continued effort to support and celebrate difference and diversity in our curriculum and community.

I couldn't be more proud of Monty and Hari who have been supporting the work of @wlm_uk by sorting and delivering groceries to local homeless people. @WetherbySenior @Alpha_PlusGroup @isaschools

Although our red doors have temporarily closed and we transition to remote learning, we will continue to support our students during these difficult times. We hope all our students, families and staff stay well and healthy. ⁦@Alpha_PlusGroup⁩ #teamwetherby

In the midst of the #covid_19 chaos, it’s easy - if not natural - to panic. We place kindness at the heart of our workshops and the work we do. This is needed as much now than ever before. This is a reminder that it’s ok not to be ok, to be stressed or anxious.
