• School Council Visit Waltham Forest Town Hall

  Tue 30 Oct 2018

  The school council recently paid a visit to the Town Hall where they met The Worshipful Mayor of Waltham Forest, Cllr Sally Littlejohn. The Mayor and two councillors, Cllr Roy Berg and Cllr Mitchell Goldie, spoke to the children about how the council operates and how it impacts on the local area and economy.

   

  The highlight of the visit was being invited into the Mayor's parlour where the children had the opportunity to ask questions and pose for photographs with the Mayor.

   

  Year 6 school councillor, Flynn, commented, "It was really exciting to meet the Mayor of Waltham Forest. She gave us lots of advice about what it takes to be a good councillor."

  

• Enabling Enterprise trip to MFS Investments

  Wed 17 Oct 2018

  On Tuesday 16th October, twenty Year 5 children took part in an Enabling Enterprise Day at the investment bank, MFS at St Paul's in London. The aim of the day was for the children to create their own business opportunity with the aid of volunteers who work at the company. The children had an imaginary amount of money to spend on what they'd need to set up and then had to pitch their business plan! There was no winning team but awards were given for Teamwork, Imagination, Leadership and Sharing ideas.

  After a fantastic lunch, which was provided, they were then taken on a tour of the office and we even went into the trading room. The views of St Paul's Cathedral, the Shard and the London Eye from the windows were beautiful! The people who worked there commented on how hard the children worked and what a credit they were to our school.
