My Zone Lesson - Next Half Term
NEW UNIT: My Impact
My Impact explores identity, diversity, equality, wellbeing, and personal growth. Students reflect on who they are, how their actions affect others, and how they can contribute positively to their communities and society. Through learning about culture, identity, anti-racism, disability awareness and ableism, religion and belief, LGBTQ+ inclusion, body confidence, discrimination, allyship, wellbeing, and personal development, students build empathy, respect, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. The topic encourages students to celebrate diversity, challenge prejudice and stereotypes, reflect on their own growth, and plan how they can become their best selves in the next stage of their lives.

Reminder: Year 8 HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Vaccine
The School Aged Immunisation Team will be coming into your child's school on 01/05/2025 and 12/06/2026 to administer the HPV vaccine to girls and boys in Year 8.
Please use the link below to register your consent for your child to receive the vaccine, please complete this whether you want your child to have the vaccine or do not consent. When completing the form, please ensure that you make absolutely sure that you have entered the correct school as there are a lot of schools in the Barnet area with the same or similar names.
This is a very important vaccine and is part of your child's routine childhood vaccinations. It protects against 9 strains of the Human Papillomavirus and prevents against certain types of Cancer.
Your child's school will mostly have two dates booked unless it is a very small school. If your child misses their vaccine at the first session due to illness or absence, please do not complete a second consent form, the original consent form will still be valid.
We have also included a link for a short Webinar explaining about the vaccine.
