Year 6 had an amazing trip to the London Docklands Museum as part of our global and English studies, exploring the question, "Are All People Free?" The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were excited to discover many links to their learning. A fantastic way to bring history to life and deepen their understanding of freedom, trade, and the rich history of the Docklands! #LearningThroughExploration #HistoryInAction#DocklandsMuseum #AreAllPeopleFree

For #worldbookday2025 we celebrated our love of reading and embraced the theme of empathy and collaboration across the school. Pupils chose outfits to reflect characters who embody these traits and activities throughout the day provoked thoughtful discussions.
