School Council Presentation on Road Safety

Today the School Council delivered a fantastic assembly about an important issue affecting our school community. Over recent weeks, we have seen an increase in unsafe driving and parking outside the school during morning drop-off. Cars have been stopping on the zigzag lines, parking on the kerb, and blocking the road — making it difficult for pedestrians to cross safely and, in some cases, preventing emergency vehicles from passing through. These behaviours put children, families, and staff at real risk. The School Council explained to pupils that we need to encourage others to drive with extra care, follow parking rules, and allow a little extra time in the morning to keep everyone safe. To help raise awareness, our School Council is also launching a Road Safety Poster Competition. We are inviting all children to design an A4 poster that encourages safe and considerate behaviour during drop-off and pick-up times. We hope this competition will help pupils feel empowered to share their voices and encourage positive change.

Sayers Croft Residential Trip - Year 4

The children threw themselves into orienteering and the Anderson shelter building, showing brilliant teamwork and enthusiasm. They were all very impressed by the delicious food and ate well. This evening’s night walk was a real adventure — the children showed great courage walking through the forest in the dark to find their group leader using their torches. We ended the day with a cosy campfire, full of smiles and excitement. They’re all safe, settled, and having a wonderful time!

Yr 6 Visit by David Hall - Science Workshop

Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their Genome Explorers assembly with David Hall. The session was arranged in partnership with the Cambridge Science Centre. The pupils learnt all about DNA and genes, and how these carry the instructions that make each living thing unique. They looked closely at the double helix structure of DNA and explored how the “bases” (A, T, C and G) pair up. They learnt that these base pairs form a code that tells cells how to grow, function, and repair themselves. Pupils also discovered how genes are passed from parents to children and how small changes in DNA can make us all different.

Leonard Silver - Judaism Workshops

Today in RE, we had the amazing opportunity to listen to Leonard Silver, a Jewish man from Scotland. He came in to talk to us about what it means to be Jewish in today’s world. We learnt so much about the Jewish faith, including the different religious festivals, important places and figures of worship, and some of the special clothes Jewish people wear and why they wear them. We also got the chance to ask Leonard our own questions. Some of us asked why Jewish people don’t believe in Jesus, and how they are able to understand and read the Torah. Leonard answered all our questions and helped us understand things better. At the end of the session, Leonard talked about the Holocaust and explained why it is so important that we learn about it and never forget that period of history. It was such an incredible session, and we feel really lucky that we got to listen to him.

Remembrance Day - 11th November 2025

As a school, we came together to observe a minute's silence for Remembrance Day. We reflected on the courage and sacrifice of those who have served to protect our peace and freedom. Our Head Boy and Head Girl led the service by reading a prayer and the poem In Flanders Fields. Prayer: Almighty God, We remembered with gratitude those who served and sacrificed for peace and freedom.  May we live with courage, kindness, and hope, working together for a world where peace prevails. Amen.

We welcome Councillor Khaireh to Our Lady of Grace

The School Council members had a fantastic time meeting Councillor Adel Khaireh, Labour’s councillor for Plumstead and Glyndon today. During the visit, they were eager to learn more about his role within the local community and the responsibilities that come with being an elected representative. Councillor Khaireh spoke about the importance of teamwork, listening to others, and making decisions that benefit everyone — qualities that also make a great school council member. He shared his experiences of working with local residents, addressing community concerns, and helping to shape improvements across the area. The pupils asked thoughtful questions about leadership, fairness, and how they could make a real difference within their own school. Councillor Khaireh encouraged them to be confident in sharing their ideas, to work collaboratively, and to always consider the views of their peers.
