Yesterday, some of our children were joined by @teamrepair from Keep Britain Tidy for a Gadget Repair Workshop. The children used tools to carry out a simple repair on a broken electronic device. This is part of our drive to make Dorothy Barley a more sustainable school.

On Tuesday, we were visited by our CEO
@cathiepaine, who inspired our children and our Attendance Mascot, Barley Bear, with a talk on the theme of Aspirations.

Thank you, Ms Cathie for giving us lots to think about and encouraging us to always reach higher.

As many of you are probably already aware, the school will be closed on 19th September to honour Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral.

[Dorothy Barley Junior Academy @DBJSchool]

All of us at DBJA are saddened to hear the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second.

Her life of service and dedication to others was an inspiration to all of us whose job it is to serve others and we, as a school, will be marking this in a sensitive and respectful way.
