Update - what next?

So, just a quick update on what is happening with regard to NEASC. The admin associated with the three areas of Architecture, Culture and Ecology are working on the report for their specific Learning Principles, overseen by Miss Liz. So each admin is putting together all the great stuff you came up with in PD sessions - rating where we are now, future designs, and working toward our Major Learning Plans. It's a tough process, made so much easier by all the ideas, opinions and evidence each LP worked so hard to find. 

Student voice in action

Our y5 & 6 student voice body has been busy lately - they are currently working hard with the library staff, but more of that to come later!

From an entrance of over 20 designs, Miss Samah and her students have narrowed the wall-art project down to 3 winners! These will be placed near to the lift on the 3 floors in Block D.

Just in case you were unaware - wall-art was going to be purchased to brighten up our corridors, but it was decided that designing our own would be a far better idea! The 3 successful designs are below:

Can't wait to see them up on the walls! Well done to Miss Samah and her student voice body!
