A huge well done to our new school councillors who were elected by their peers in a recent class vote. They will be representing both the school and the trust this year. A huge well done to you all.

School Council learning walk
Wednesday 4th February
This week, our School Councillors carried out a learning walk around the school. Working together, they first created a checklist of what they hoped to see, including children who were engaged, enthusiastic and happy in their learning, as well as adults using praise and rewards effectively.
The learning walk began in the Early Years, where the council visited Nursery and Reception. They observed lots of purposeful play alongside positive and supportive adult interactions. In fact, the councillors were reluctant to leave EYFS, as it brought back many special memories from when they were younger.
As they moved through the rest of the school, they saw a wide range of engaging activities. Pupils demonstrated their creativity and their ability to retain key knowledge, supported by effective adult questioning. Other strengths highlighted during the walk included collaborative learning opportunities, excellent behaviour for learning, outstanding manners and the celebration of children’s achievements.
A huge well done to all of our School Council members for their thoughtful observations and enthusiasm. They will be sharing their findings with their peers during an upcoming assembly.
Harvest Festival
A huge thank you to everyone that brought items in for the Harvest Festival. The school council worked hard yesterday afternoon to box everything up ready for the Halifax Community Fridge to collect it and bring it to the mosque. The school council visited the Community Fridge to help serve the community and see the amazing work that the volunteers at the Community Fridge do to support our community.
