💛 Hello Yellow Day 💛 Today we proudly took part in Hello Yellow Day to support young people's mental health and wellbeing. Staff and students came together wearing yellow and taking part in activities to raise awareness and show their support. We are delighted to share that, thanks to the generosity of our school community, we raised over £150! A huge thank you to everyone who donated and helped make the day such a success. Together, we have helped support the vital work that ensures young people know they are not alone and have someone to turn to when they need help.

Science in Action! Year 6 have been getting hands-on in Science, learning about electrical circuits and making their own switches. It was a great opportunity to put their scientific knowledge into practice and see how a switch can control a circuit. Fantastic work, Year 6! 👏

🇬🇷🍕 Friday was pizza day for Year 5! Our Year 5 students put their cooking skills to the test in Design Technology, making delicious Greek pitta pizzas. They did a fantastic job and the finished pizzas looked amazing! 👏 #DesignTechnology #Year5 #CookingSkills #GreekPittaPizza

Huge thanks to a Harrow-based clothing manufacturer, clothing express (which supplies our leavers' hoodies) for donating a couple of thousand pounds-worth of cotton fabric to the school. This will enhance our students' work in textiles when we make aprons and drawstring bags. It will also come in handy for the school's productions.

Author visit David Barker came to visit us on Friday, sharing not only a chapter from his book but also tips and insights into the creative writing process as well as his journey to becoming a published author. The children asked some great questions and were captivated by the first chapter of his new book, Moonlight Robbery. If you want to get your hands on a copy of this, you can! Students have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Moonlight Robbery at the discounted price of £8. Students can pick up a letter from Reception. We are so thankful for David taking the time to visit our school and know that he has inspired our students to get excited about reading, writing and storytelling!

Cross country competition Yesterday, our students competed at The Windsor Boys' School and gave it their absolute best. Every runner worked incredibly hard, supported one another and should be very proud of their efforts.

Parents' evening bookings are now open on MCAS (MyChildAtSchool). Please see emails and announcements sent out today.

📚 Exciting BookBuzz Delivery! 📚 Our Year 7 students have recently taken part in BookBuzz, a scheme from BookTrust designed to encourage young people to develop a love of reading. Each student had the opportunity to choose a book from the BookBuzz collection, and their books have now arrived! There were lots of happy faces as everyone received their chosen title. 😊📖 Even better, all of the books from the BookBuzz collection are available in our school library, so students can continue exploring the collection and discover even more great reads. We hope Year 7 enjoy getting stuck into their new books. Happy reading! 📚💛
