<h3>New arrivals: welcome</h3>
<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped
down from the committee after several years. The Friends will miss her
independent views and her willingness to get in involved in all of
Friends' activities, from organising Fun Days to serving tea at parent
nights.</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to everyone who helped
organise and run events this year. The Friends would also like to thank
people and organisations who kindly sponsored or made donations to our
events. These include: The Taste of Lahore restaurant, The Prince of
Bengal restaurant, Sewell & Gardner, Warner Bros UK and Top Golf UK.</p>',

<h3>New arrivals: welcome</h3>
<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped
down from the committee after several years. The Friends will miss her
independent views and her willingness to get in involved in all of
Friends' activities, from organising Fun Days to serving tea at parent
nights.</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to everyone who helped
organise and run events this year. The Friends would also like to thank
people and organisations who kindly sponsored or made donations to our
events. These include: The Taste of Lahore restaurant, The Prince of
Bengal restaurant, Sewell &amp; Gardner, Warner Bros UK and Top Golf UK.</p>',

Many companies offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise at an event or through an activity, such as our big raffle.
The list of companies that fund match is too long for us to list here – most high street banks, building societies, supermarkets and large companies offer match funding, but these schemes are not exclusive to the big corporates. If you work for a small or independent company, they may be interested in charitable giving through match funding too.
Please ask your HR department or check your company’s intranet or employee website. If they offer match funding, we can provide the information you need and help you complete any paperwork to process the contribution easily. If you are able to help in this way please do get in touch at info@friendsofwbgs.org as this is a really simple way to make a big difference.
Thank you

<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped
down from the committee after several years. The Friends will miss her
independent views and her willingness to get in involved in all of
Friends' activities, from organising Fun Days to serving tea at parent
nights.</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to everyone who helped
organise and run events this year. The Friends would also like to thank
people and organisations who kindly sponsored or made donations to our
events. These include: The Taste of Lahore restaurant, The Prince of
Bengal restaurant, Sewell &amp; Gardner, Warner Bros UK and Top Golf UK.</p>',

Many companies offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise at an event or through an activity, such as our big raffle.
The list of companies that fund match is too long for us to list here – most high street banks, building societies, supermarkets and large companies offer match funding, but these schemes are not exclusive to the big corporates. If you work for a small or independent company, they may be interested in charitable giving through match funding too.
Please ask your HR department or check your company’s intranet or employee website. If they offer match funding, we can provide the information you need and help you complete any paperwork to process the contribution easily. If you are able to help in this way please do get in touch at info@friendsofwbgs.org as this is a really simple way to make a big difference.

<h3>New arrivals: welcome</h3>
<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped

Many companies offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise at an event or through an activity, such as our big raffle.
The list of companies that fund match is too long for us to list here – most high street banks, building societies, supermarkets and large companies offer match funding, but these schemes are not exclusive to the big corporates. If you work for a small or independent company, they may be interested in charitable giving through match funding too.
Please ask your HR department or check your company’s intranet or employee website. If they offer match funding, we can provide the information you need and help you complete any paperwork to process the contribution easily. If you are able to help in this way please do get in touch at info@friendsofwbgs.org as this is a really simple way to make a big difference.

<h3>New arrivals: welcome</h3>
<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped
down from the committee after several years. The Friends will miss her
independent views and her willingness to get in involved in all of
Friends' activities, from organising Fun Days to serving tea at parent
nights.</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to everyone who helped
organise and run events this year. The Friends would also like to thank
people and organisations who kindly sponsored or made donations to our
events. These include: The Taste of Lahore restaurant, The Prince of
Bengal restaurant, Sewell & Gardner, Warner Bros UK and Top Golf UK.</p>

<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped
down from the committee after several years. The Friends will miss her
independent views and her willingness to get in involved in all of
Friends' activities, from organising Fun Days to serving tea at parent
nights.</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to everyone who helped
organise and run events this year. The Friends would also like to thank
people and organisations who kindly sponsored or made donations to our
events. These include: The Taste of Lahore restaurant, The Prince of
Bengal restaurant, Sewell &amp; Gardner, Warner Bros UK and Top Golf UK.</p>',

Many companies offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise at an event or through an activity, such as our big raffle.
The list of companies that fund match is too long for us to list here – most high street banks, building societies, supermarkets and large companies offer match funding, but these schemes are not exclusive to the big corporates. If you work for a small or independent company, they may be interested in charitable giving through match funding too.
Please ask your HR department or check your company’s intranet or employee website. If they offer match funding, we can provide the information you need and help you complete any paperwork to process the contribution easily. If you are able to help in this way please do get in touch at info@friendsofwbgs.org as this is a really simple way to make a big difference.

<h3>New arrivals: welcome</h3>
<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped
down from the committee after several years. The Friends will miss her
independent views and her willingness to get in involved in all of
Friends' activities, from organising Fun Days to serving tea at parent
nights.</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to everyone who helped
organise and run events this year. The Friends would also like to thank
people and organisations who kindly sponsored or made donations to our
events. These include: The Taste of Lahore restaurant, The Prince of
Bengal restaurant, Sewell &amp; Gardner, Warner Bros UK and Top Golf UK.</p>',

<h3>New arrivals: welcome</h3>
<p>Hollie Rendall has been appointed as
the new link person between the Friends of School Committee and the
school. She has been in post for a few months now and recently took time
out to talk about herself and her role at Watford Boys'.
</p>
<p>"I started in the role of Development
Director in January this year and went straight in at the deep end with
a fundraising campaign to run for the STEM Centre! My role broadly
falls into three categories: marketing, fundraising and alumni
relations. As well as being the main link between the Friends of the
School and the school itself, I also have a similar link with the Old
Fullerians’ Association and attend meetings of the Watford Fuller
Foundation which deals with financial matters relating to the school.</p>
<p>Alongside the largely parent and
alumni- focused fundraising campaign for the STEM Centre, my major
project this year has been to update the database of former pupils and
staff. I’ve started a twice-yearly alumni news, Fuller News, with a
circulation of around 3,500 alumni and growing. This is focused on the
present and future, rather than the past, and the intention is to have
more events for alumni. Our first such event was in the summer and was a
tribute to two long-standing former teachers who passed away earlier in
the year, as well as a number of teachers who retired at the end of
last year. My long-term plan is for students to feel like their
relationship with the school doesn’t have to end after year 13 and for
the school to have something to offer after that. This relies on Old
Fullerians being willing to come back and offer their time and
expertise, and so far the evidence is that lots of boys leave WBGS with a
great amount of affection for the school.</p>
<p>While this is my first job in a
school, I do have experience of the Watford Grammar way of life, having
studied at Watford Girls’ and taken one of my A Levels at the boys’
school. After studying at Sheffield University, I spent a decade working
in public relations for big financial brands, charities and public
sector clients (with my last client appropriately enough being the ‘Get
Into Teaching’ campaign for the Department for Education).</p>
<p>I’m always very open to ideas or
indeed offers of help! Having a close relationship with the Friends of
the School helps us all achieve our goals and it’s been great to see the
financial support the Friends can provide because of their fundraising
efforts."</p>
<h3>Departures: thanks and good luck</h3>
<p>Archana Singh will step down as Chair
of the Friends of School Committee on Wednesday 1st November at the
Friends Annual General Meeting. Archana is a great communicator who made
helping at Friends' events fun for everyone. She was the inspiration
behind the Bollywood Barn Dance in November last year, which brought
school families together for a marvellous evening in the main school
hall. </p>
<p> Jeanette Mcleod has also stepped
down from the committee after several years. The Friends will miss her
independent views and her willingness to get in involved in all of
Friends' activities, from organising Fun Days to serving tea at parent
nights.</p>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to everyone who helped
organise and run events this year. The Friends would also like to thank
people and organisations who kindly sponsored or made donations to our
events. These include: The Taste of Lahore restaurant, The Prince of
Bengal restaurant, Sewell &amp; Gardner, Warner Bros UK and Top Golf UK.</p>',
