An important moment to stop and think...

About 2 and a half years ago a plan hatched in my head to take a group of students over to Auschwitz and from that experience impact the school in some way. It seemed impossible but through some out of school funding it happened and last November half term we set off with 4 students to Poland.

This week has seen the fulfilment of this dream as the assemblies all week are being taken by these students to silence and respect from all year groups and incredible feedback from all staff.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. Today period one the whole school had a PSHE lesson on the Holocaust set out by these students from their experiences and their thoughts. The feedback has been fantastic, so positive with no hassles and focused discussions from all year groups.

Its been a difficult journey and a very emotional week - with 2 assemblies to go - but the impact has been tangible and I feel proud of what has been achieved.




Spend a moment today to remember those who's lives were so brutally taken because they didnt fit into to someone else's plans.
