• Faure's Requiem

  Mon 18 Mar 2019

  On Saturday a small choir of years 6 and 4 girls performed Faure's Requiem, in a massed choir at St Mary's Church, Woodford. The event was organised by Forest School, and conducted by James Clements - Head of Music. The girls were amazing, singing in Latin and following the many paged libretto. They were accompanied by a full orchestra, organ and the noted Baritone Soloist Tom Mcveigh. It was a wonderful performance and an evening to remember.

• Young Leaders' Conference

  Thu 14 Mar 2019

  On Thursday 14th March, 12 children from year 4 and 5 attended the Young Leaders’ Conference at Feel Good Centre. Entitled ‘Get up, Get Active’, the children learnt and practised different activities that they could bring back to school to teach others to be physically active. Led by Shona Gordon, our School sports Coordinator, the children were taught to be ‘Active Spies’ to encourage their peers to be more active. They took part in 3 workshops throughout the day and even learnt how to do the new dance craze, The Triangle Dance! Hopefully everyone will be ‘triangling’ in the playground.
