Dear Parents / Guardians, 

Our school Ember Team and 6th Yr. Leadership Team are once again holding our SVP Christmas appeal. Families are asked to donate items and send them into school with your daughter where they will be collected in their tutor time classrooms. Attached is a list of items that SVP need for Christmas 2022, each class has been assigned a specific item to bring in. Any family that can donate another luxury item can leave this in their classroom, luxury items can be tins of biscuits, chocolates, new toys or new clothing.

Our Ember team will be visting each tutor class next week and explaining to our students about the appeal and how they can donate. SVP will be visiting the school on Friday 16th of December to collect all of our donations. 

We have always had a very generous response from the school community and we look forward to the the same this year.

Stand-Up Week November 2022

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our school would like to acknowledge the fantastic work done by our student Anti-Bullying Ambassadors (ABAs) in organising a wonderful Stand-Up Week 14th -18th November. The theme they chose for the week was ‘Using Language to Unite us – Choosing Words that Heal, not Hurt’ and the focus of the week was on kindness and respect for everyone.

The many activities arranged by our ABAs included a badge competition with the winning designs printed on badges and distributed on different days during the week. Congratulations to Yovela Fubara and Juliette Dowdall in 6th year, Lucy Hand in 3rd year and Lily Christian in 1st year on their lovely designs.

The ABAs also chose to continue our popular Thumbs-Up Days this year with students and staff encouraged to paint 9 nails imaginatively and colourfully while leaving one thumbnail blank. The ‘Thumbs-Up for Unity’ this year was to show we are united, standing up together, in support of the uniqueness and dignity of each one of us. They even ran a nail-painting station!

On Friday, the whole school participated in our Living Rainbow School for a Day. ABAs arranged for each year group to wear a colour from the Rainbow and our school was a riot of bright colours and joy. Lots of class photographs were taken under our Rainbow Balloon Arch in reception.

Particular commendation must go to our ABAs who presented a different focus each day on the importance of both understanding LGBTQ+ terms and using all language respectfully and inclusively. The ABAs worked to highlight that kindness and respect towards others should and must be deliberately chosen actions by all our students. Well done to our ABAs and all the staff and students for their great participation.
