Year One had an exciting and educational visit to Islington Fire Station. During their trip, the children learned about fire safety, the important role of firefighters, and how to respond in an emergency. They enjoyed exploring the fire station, seeing the equipment up close, and asking thoughtful questions, making it a memorable and valuable learning experience
Today, we were pleased to welcome Alan Parker from Discovery 3, who delivered an informative and important Safer Internet assembly to the whole school. The children learned about how to stay safe online, including an introduction to using AI responsibly. Following the assembly, pupils took part in creative activities to deepen their understanding: Year One and Year Two designed digital posters, Year Three and Year Four created animated adverts, and Year Five and Year Six produced short films, all focused on promoting safe and positive online behaviour.

Over the past fortnight, pupils and staff shared their personal presentations with their classes, which proved to be truly inspiring and provided a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn more about one another.
Many children arrived at school full of excitement, eager to talk about what they had discovered about themselves and their families. A great deal of time, care, and pride clearly went into preparing these presentations, and this did not go unnoticed—thank you to everyone for your support.
We also enjoyed celebrating our diverse community through the Cultural Food Tasting Session, where families kindly brought in special dishes to share, followed by our Cultural Celebration Own Clothes Day, with children and staff proudly wearing items that reflected and celebrated their culture.
Today, Year Three visited the Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House, where they took part in engaging drawing workshops and explored the wonderful artwork on display. The children approached the visit with enthusiasm and curiosity, making the most of this enriching experience. Their behaviour was exemplary throughout the trip, with staff at the gallery and members of the public commenting on their politeness and conduct. In fact, several staff members shared that this was one of the best classes they had ever worked with, which is a fantastic achievement and a real credit to the pupils.
This term, we have been developing our Forest School provision alongside our Forest School Leader, Nina Lovelace. We are delighted to now have an outdoor classroom, a mud kitchen, a mud pit and a dedicated den-building area for the pupils to enjoy.
Next term, we look forward to further enhancing the space by creating an allotment area where children will be able to grow their own plants.
Today, Year Three attended the Prom Praise for Schools event at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a fantastic experience, with many stories from the Bible brought to life by professional actors and musicians, accompanied by a full orchestra.
The children were exceptionally well behaved and participated enthusiastically, joining in with the songs with great gusto.
Today our Reception Class enjoyed a visit to London Zoo, and both the children and adults had a truly wonderful time.
Several members of the zoo staff, as well as members of the public, took the time to speak to our staff and comment on how fantastic the class were. As Head, I felt incredibly proud to hear such praise for our wonderful children.
The children returned full of excitement, eager to share all they had seen and learned. It was a truly memorable and enriching experience for everyone involved.
Year Five visited the Institute of Physics on Tuesday. Aaron said they visit was fun and informative – ‘we learnt lots’. As part of the visit, the children enjoyed developing their knowledge of the solar system and what might lie beyond.
Year Four, Year Five and Year Six visited a careers fayre at the Guildhall on Monday. The children spoke to a range of different experts in different areas of work, learning lots of new information. Some of the children returned to school talking about what jobs they want to do when they are older!
