VLT Spelling Bee

Ruislip High School had the pleasure of welcoming the trust schools for the annual VLT Spelling Bee on Wednesday 21st January 2026. The students, a mix of Year 6 and 7, represented their schools and the trust with poise and confidence.

The afternoon began with a warm welcome from Ruislip’s Headteacher, Mr Davies before the competition commenced with each team on the stage to take on the spelling challenge, focusing in particular on this year’s theme of ‘belonging’.

Students enthusiastically embraced the event. Reeya from 7F said: “It was a really fun event; I had a great time overall.” Alan from 7F said: “At first I was really worried but it turned out not to be really fun.”

Dr Lecky, the Trust CEO, joined the afternoon to congratulate all of the participants and to award Hermitage Primary School as team winners, Field End Junior School runners up and Sophie, also from Hermitage Primary, as the trust’s individual spelling champion! Well done to Sophie and all the teams for their fantastic contribution to an amazing afternoon.
