A massive thank you to all the parents of children who contributed to “Fancy Dress Up Day” in return for canned good and non-perishable items. Last Wednesday, the ‘Me to We’ Club members took the time to go to the Ealing Food Bank and donate all the goods. The school raised a whopping 365 Kg – the single biggest donation by a school to date!

This week, as part of their KS3 History program, 35 Year 7 pupils visited the Tower of London. They enjoyed an information session on Norman consolidation of power and walked (in the chilly weather) around much of the tower grounds. They learnt a lot about Norman contributions to Anglo-Saxon England. They also engaged brilliantly in some hands-on source work with primary sources, some even dating back to the Roman era!

Reception are learning all about animals this term and they have produced some wonderful work including crafting owls, perfectly painting pigs and drawing zoo animals.

Christmas has arrived in Nursery! The pupils loved decorating their Christmas tree.
