With the temperatures climbing this week, we know exactly what’s coming…

📞 “Is the air conditioning working?”
📞 “It’s boiling on this coach!”
📞 “It feels like an oven in here!”

So we thought we’d explain why…

The simple answer is yes – our coaches are fitted with air conditioning, and our systems are regularly serviced and maintained. Like everything mechanical, they work incredibly well… until Mother Nature decides to turn the thermostat up to maximum!

Here’s something most people don’t realise....

Coaches can carry various amounts of.passengers depending on capacity, each passenger producing body heat, all sitting inside one vehicle with huge panoramic windows and the sun beating down on the roof for hours at a time.

Unlike your car with two or three people inside, a coach has to cool a massive internal space while, in some cases, up to 72 people are effectively acting as their own little radiators.

The air conditioning is working flat out, but there comes a point where physics simply wins. On days like these, it’s trying to keep up with an incredible amount of heat coming from both outside and inside the vehicle.

And while passengers might be feeling warm, spare a thought for our drivers…

They spend all day behind a windscreen big enough to qualify as a greenhouse, smiling through the heat while making sure everyone gets to their destination safely. If anyone deserves a cold drink this week, it’s them!

So, if your coach feels a little warmer than you’d like, please bear with us. We promise the air conditioning is doing everything it possibly can.

After all…
We’re all melting together! 🥵
Stay hydrated, be patient, and please be kind to our drivers and staff.

Thanks for travelling with Crest Coaches Ltd

Amazing. Well done to these three WHSB students.

WHSB CELEBRATES HISTORIC TRIO OF ARKWRIGHT SCHOLARS

The School is delighted to announce that three of our Year 11 pupils have successfully secured Arkwright Engineering Scholarships this term. As one of the UK's most prestigious STEM awards, the Arkwright Engineering Scholarship programme identifies, inspires, and nurtures high-potential young people aged 16–18, supporting them through their A-Levels, IB, or Scottish Highers. Administered by the Smallpeice Trust, the scheme provides recipients with funding, industry mentorship, and exclusive university connections.

The successful pupils—Jamie, Sultan, and Misha—passed a highly competitive, multi-stage national selection process to earn their awards. While the School has a proud history of nurturing Arkwright Scholars, we typically celebrate just one recipient per year. Securing three scholarships simultaneously marks an impressive first for WHSB. This landmark achievement highlights an exceptionally strong year for engineering and design at the School. Behind this historic success is a year-long preparation programme led by Mr Moore. The School extends its sincere thanks to him for his invaluable guidance, and our School community congratulates Jamie, Sultan, and Misha on their outstanding achievement.

What a guy! A childhood dream becoming a reality and raising money for a wonderful local charity at the same time.

Go Harry!!

Taking on this wing walk just one week before his 99th birthday, Harry would love your support. Instead of a card, donate what you can and leave a message to show him how many people are behind him.
