Rights Respecting School Award

RRSA Silver Disco

On Friday 9th February, the whole school celebrated achieving our SILVER accreditation for the Rights Respecting Schools Award. Everyone sparkled and shone and danced their socks off at the silver disco!

Article of the Half Term

This half term we are celebrating diversity in our school, focusing on Article 30 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Article 30 of the UNCRC makes it clear that children and young people who belong to a minority group have the right to share their culture, language and religion with other people in that group.

The children shared the languages they speak at home, including Urdu, Arabic, Greek and French. What an amazing community we have in school.

In RE this term, the children in Key Stage 2 are learning what is important to Sikhs and the meaning of the holy month of Ramadan and Eid to Muslims.

Campaigning for the Community

Thinking about how we can make a positive impact in our local community is at the heart of our school. We believe that our children can be pivotal in campaigning for a better environment and positive outcomes for everyone and as part of this, we are developing the work we began last year in donating, collecting and re-distributing clothing to support a sustainable future.

The recent uniform change at Meath has left us with a significant number of items which we are unable to use but which is still high quality and serviceable including staff coats and fleeces. The coats will be donated to an organisation working with asylum seekers within the London Borough of Hounslow and the children’s clothes will be donated to Storehouse, which is a community food, children’s clothes and equipment bank in Feltham.
