• Sports Day 2021

  Fri 02 Jul 2021

  Despite the current restrictions, most of the pupils were able to enjoy Sports Day today. Unfortunately, due to the recent 'bubble' closures Years 3 and 4 were unable to participate but plans are afoot for them to enjoy Sports Day when they complete their period of isolation next week.

   

  With fine weather marking the day, Reception and Key Stage 1 children took part in their races during the morning with Years 5 and 6 participating in the afternoon.

   

  Zac, from Year 5, was extremely proud of his achievements during the events he participated in but lamented, 'It was a shame all the parents and other family members weren't allowed to cheer us on but it was a great day.'

   

  Fellow Year 5 pupil, Tommy, commented, 'It was great being out in the fresh air enjoying ourselves. Hopefully things will get back to normal again.'

  As part of their Religious Education studies, pupils from Year 3 visited the Parish Church today where they met Father Justin for the first time since his appointment as rector last year. Father Justin took the children on a guided tour of the church informing them of its history and the purpose of artefacts and furniture found in the building.

  Year 3 pupil Ethan commented, 'I enjoyed putting on the purple chorister robes."

  Classmate Lois added, 'It was fascinating to discover the gravestone of Owen Stone who used to be headmaster of our school back in the Victorian times.'

  Fellow Year 3 pupil, Cody, was very excited to get to ring the church bells, 'It was brilliant!' he said.

• School involved in the launch of new keeping children safe initiative

  Wed 09 Jun 2021

  A group of Year 4 pupils were filmed and interviewed today by BBC Local News marking the launch of 'Clever Never Goes', a new initiative designed to help keep children safe. The session was led by PC Karen Killick from Chingford Police station and was attended by Waltham Forest police chief, Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Tucker.

  Eden, who was interviewed by the BBC reporter, described feeling 'nervous but excited' when she was told the reporter wanted to speak to her. She added, "It was a great experience and I learned a great deal about keeping safe. I was thrilled to know I would be appearing on the television for the first time in my life."

  Ivy and Isla both enjoyed the presentation and were both surprised to learn that it is very risky even going off somewhere with people you might know reasonably well without the permission of a parent or carer.

  Molly enjoyed meeting the Waltham Forest police chief. She was particularly impressed that as a young officer he had once arrested 66 people in one month!

  BBC will be airing footage of the session on their Local News programme today at 1.30pm and 6.30pm

• Farms Not Factories! Pupil calls for responsibly sourced practises to food production

  Tue 11 May 2021

  Year 6 pupil, Caspar, presented a challenging PowerPoint assembly yesterday to KS1 & KS2 pupils concerning responsibly sourced foods. Caspar sensitively described to the children some details about factory farming and other inhumane methods of livestock rearing.

   

  Caspar is raising money for the charity, 'Farms Not Factories' and is receiving donations via the school offices. So far he has  raised nearly £115!

   

  Caspar commented, 'Animals have beating hearts and emotions just like humans so we should treat them with the upmost care when raising them for food on our plates. I am a meat eater myself but don't want to see animals unduly suffer.'

   

  Caspar is encouraged by the school's 'Meat Free Monday' initiative but is planning to write to Waltham Forest's Catering Service to investigate if their food sourcing is of the highest standard. He has also put up a display near the Junior site sensory room telling of his concerns and desire to bring about change to the world.

   

  Caspar has set up an online petition on Change.org. If you would like to support his cause got to :
