• Rights Respecting Council Trip to City Hall

  Tue 21 Oct 2025 HN

  City Hall Visit

  On our trip we went to City Hall.

  We went on three different modes of transport – the overground to Liverpool Street, the underground to Tower Hill and then the DLR to Royal Victoria.

  We went through airport like security and then we were greeted by Richard.  He was really kind and knowledgeable.

  Richard told us all about London now and then.   He showed us the past and present mayors of London. Then he showed us a really exciting video of London in different time periods.

  Charlotte commented ‘I like when we saw the debating room because it was very interesting knowing who uses it – the Mayor of London and all the elected members of the assembly. People who don’t work in city hall can sit in the comfy cinema like seats – they can see what the Mayor is debating what things would make London a better environment for everyone.’

  Once we had finished at City Hall we were lucky enough to go on the cable cars which took us over the River Thames.  It was fun because we got to sit in the cable cars and see what the River Thames looks like from a height. 

  ‘Overall I would say it was a ten out of ten trip because City Hall is such a fabulous place, the members are so nice and greeted us like we were the Mayor! ‘By Charlotte.

• Pupil led Collective Worship

  Thu 09 Oct 2025

  Huge congratulations to Gillian, Penny and Charlotte who wrote and presented an assembly to both sites about World Religions today. It was warmly received by both sites and highly informative. They spent their break times researching and producing the power point presentation that they shared. It is nerve racking speaking in front of 420 pupils plus staff but the three Y6 pupils made it look easy!

  

• Karl Nova the poet worked with selected Y4 pupils!

  Wed 08 Oct 2025

  Selected Y4 pupils joined Y4 pupils from nearby schools for a day of poetry on Wednesday. They had a fantastic time!

  In his award winning debut book “Rhythm and Poetry”, the beauty of rap lyricism and Hip Hop influenced poetry is displayed with wit, humour and positivity. His approach is to meet young people where they are and engage them with the style and attitude they are familiar with while keeping his content wholesome, inspirational but still very real. This collection reflects on his journey of growth from childhood to adulthood through the lens of hip hop culture with a great freshness, sincerity and realism. A lot of the verses have already impacted many lives as he travels and delivers them with his unique and energetic style.

• First Aid Training for Y6 pupils

  Fri 03 Oct 2025

  On Monday this week, Year 6 pupils received some excellent first aid training from Danny Hyde, a fire fighter stationed at Bethnal Green. They all behaved beautifully and showed high levels of competency, whilst being instructed as to: how to deal with someone who is unconscious; giving CPR and using a defibrillator. 

  Here are some of the children's thoughts:

  Chloe said, “this was a life lesson that could help me help someone in the future.

  Matylda added, “we were all engaged because it was hands on experience”.
