We are thrilled to announce that Doctor Stuart Lawrence will be visiting our school next week, holding workshops for parents, children and staff. Over the past few years, we have developed a partnership with Stuart in supporting us in our journey as an anti-racist school.  Our ultimate goal is to have a judgement-free environment in which all feel safe to discuss sensitive topics by listening to each other with care. Open dialogue can develop real community understanding and unity. It is vital that as many members of our parent and carer community attend as possible. The theme of Stuart's talk will be 'Developing confidence in talking about race and difference.'

Please join us on Wednesday 27th November at 9am 

It is only up the for road for us, so a perfect destination for our Year Five children, as they start their new cross curricuar topic on all things Tudor. A tour of Henry VIII's palace (originally built for Cardinal Wolsey, but later purloined by Henry when he became aware of the palace's splendour), gave the young historians a feel for the majesty of the Tudor court. Next up was a workshop on Tudor trading. Wool and salt were major British exports and Henry expanded trade by establishing trading treaties with France and Spain. There was also time for a spot of lunch - it is not often we get to lunch on royal premises. We were so lucky to have some amazing parents who volunteered their time to ensure we could go on this fantastic trip. Thank you so much to them. For more pictures, turn to page two ...
