Rights Respecting Councillors Meet Waltham Forest's Mayor

The newly formed Rights Respecting School Council visited the Town Hall in Walthamstow to further their knowledge about democracy and how governance works at a local level.  During their meeting organised by local councillor, Roy Berg, the children were introduced to the Borough's Mayor, Elizabeth Baptiste, and taken on a tour of the recently refurbished chambers. They also were given the opportunity to talk to another official, Cllr Stratham, about their concerns with regard to parking outside the school and the issues caused through the non-replacement of Stan, our much loved school crossing attendant who helped children and families cross the busy Kings Road for many years.

Following on from the councillors' meeting with the Mayor, it has been decided that the school will be supporting one of the Mayor's chosen charities - The Sickle Cell Society. The school plan to hold a fundraising Pyjama Day to be held on Friday, 14th January 2022. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to come to school to join in the fun!
