Friday 10th November - Fairlop Heritage Group - Remembrance Service

Today we were very honoured to have the Fairlop Heritage Group visit us to conduct a Remembrance Service to our Year 6 students. We were also very lucky to have the Deputy Mayor, Saira Jamil join us for the event. Representing the Fairlop Heritage group was David Martin and his wife Barbara, and Jeff Harvey. David gave the presentation, with some very interesting facts about both World Wars and the part Fairlop played in them.

Thursday 2nd November - Michael Ward visits the school.

Today we were very luck to have a visit from Michael Ward who is an actor/model and is a former pupil. He had a tour of the school with Mrs Dye, visiting the classrooms he had been in as a student. He also spoke to all of our pupils during a special assembly and told them our motto "You can achieve, if you believe..." was one of the important things that had stayed with him. He remembered staff members who had been here when he was, and one of our teachers was a student at same time. He visited our School Library Bus and was very impressed by our current theme of "Harry Potter" and the display our very talented staff had created. Finally, he met some of our students for a Q and A session. They asked some excellent questions and was very open and honest with his answers, providing them with some very good advice as well.

Friday 21st January 2022 - Wes Streeting and The Fairlop Heritage Group Visit.

              An amazing visit last Thursday took place with our close link ‘The Fairlop Heritage Group’ and our local MP Mr Wes Streeting—now Shadow Health Secretary! The group shared images and factual recollections from Hainault and the Fairlop Airfield for our Year 6 pupils, linked to curriculum learning on World War 2.  It was a real privilege to hear their stories. Wes Streeting is a great advocate for schools and is always able to share current thinking and links with our pupils.  We all appreciated his time and pupils had created a card to mark his birthday on the visit.   (Please look at the Blog for more photos and details).   Year 6 were a credit to the school with excellent questions and engagement!

It was even mentioned in the local Recorder newspaper.
