  • Year 6 Brilliant Club Trip

    Published 27/02/25

    On Wednesday 26th February, the year 6 Brilliant club children attended their graduation at Royal Holloway, University of London. In September, the children started a project on rights and law. They were involved in researching about the topic, having one to one meetings with their university tutor, who would guide their thinking, and finally write up all their research in a 1000 word essay. The standard was very high as they were expected to reference, use academic language and be resilient in their writing.

    On graduation day, they were given a full campus tour of the university, spoke to student ambassadors, explore different university societies and ultimately, celebrate their success! Well done, year 6, you are now alumni of the scholar’s programme 20205!

    Year 6 Evolution and Inheritance Workshop

    This week each year 6 class had a virtual workshop delivered by the Natural History Museum. A representative from the museum led a 50-minute interactive workshop all about evolution. The children looked at what is evolution? Why does evolution and how does evolution happen?

    They very much enjoyed the workshop and the children had to look at different time periods and look at adaptation of the foot and hooves of a horse.

  • Children's Mental Health Week

    Published 03/02/25

    Children’s Mental Health Week
    To begin children’s mental health week, each year group had a workshop run by Empower Arts. The session began with a discussion on what mental health is and how we all feel different emotions. The children then played emotional musical statues: showing different body language for each emotion. Next, they learned actions to go with positive affirmations and said, “I am brave, I am strong and my feelings matter!”
    In groups, the children made freeze frames of different scenarios they may come across in the playground and spoke about their thoughts.
    The children will continue to be complete mental health activities throughout the week.

  • Gold Level Rights Respecting Schools Award ​​​​​​​

    Published 03/02/25

    Gold Level Rights Respecting Schools Award
    We are absolutely delighted to share some fantastic news—our school has been awarded the Gold Level Rights Respecting Schools Award from UNICEF UK! This is the highest level of the award and reflects our commitment to embedding children’s rights in every aspect of school life, from our policies and curriculum to our ethos and daily practice.

    To celebrate this incredible achievement, and as it is also Children’s Mental Health Week, we will be holding a Golden Day in school on Friday 7 February, 2025. Children are encouraged to wear yellow clothing (no jewellery, please) as we come together to recognise the importance of children’s rights and well-being. Throughout the day, pupils will take part in activities focused on mental health and well-being, a key area of strength highlighted in our Gold Award assessment.

    Achieving this award is a huge accomplishment for our school. The assessment recognised:

    • Our articulate pupils, who have a deep understanding of children’s rights and confidently apply key rights-respecting concepts.
    • How children’s rights are embedded across the school, visible in displays, linked across the curriculum, and highlighted on our website and communications.
    • The way our pupils connect their rights to safety both in and out of school, and their trust in our school systems to support them.
    • Our strong culture of inclusivity and respect, which is embraced and understood by the whole school community.
    • Our focus on health and well-being, ensuring that children and families feel supported to thrive.

    Earning the Gold Award means that our pupils see themselves as global citizens, advocating for social justice, fairness, and children’s rights both at home and around the world. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and look forward to celebrating it together on Golden Day!

    Thank you for your continued support in making our school a truly rights-respecting community.
