World Book Day 2026

Fri 20 Mar 2026

As part of our curriculum focus on British history on Thursday 8th May, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of VE Day (Victory in Europe Day). To mark this important occasion all children to come to school dressed in red, white, and blue. This is not a fancy dress day with no expectation to buy anything new.

VE Day commemorates the end of World War II in Europe, a day when communities across the UK came together in celebration and remembrance. It is a moment to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who lived through the war, and to help children understand the importance of peace and unity.

Throughout the day, the children participated in a variety of activities linked to VE Day, including themed lessons, arts and crafts, music, and storytelling. These activities were designed to be age-appropriate and engaging, helping the children to explore this key historical event in a meaningful way.

The Mayor joined us to celebrate this important anniversary and and thoroughly enjoyed meeting the children, watching them parade around the playground with their flags as did many parents and governors.

Year 2 – Charity event- ‘Wear a hat, share a hat’.

Dear Parents and Carers,

In Year 2 we have been talking about local issues in our area. We have found that an issue that we feel deeply about is homelessness.

The children would like to run an event in school on Friday 15^th November 2024 called ‘wear a hat, share a hat’. This is where everyone is invited to wear a hat that can be donated to the local charity – nightsafe who can disperse these to those in need.

The hats do not need to be brand new so look for those that you do not need or use anymore. We will welcome hats of all sizes too so these can be children’s or adults.

Thank you in advance for all your support,

Year 2.

Community Clean Up

Thu 14 Mar 2024

Salam/ Hello, hope you are well and ramadhaan is going well.

Last week myself and Shamim Abbas (Environmental officer from the Council) were on Robinson St, and spent some time on the footpath behind the masjid and highlighted the need for the clean up. Not only was there shrubs that were over grown and not serving much purpose but litter, clothing items that had been dumped, and rats running around.

Shamim informed me yesterday, with the joyous news that the area has been cleaned up. The pictures are attached. We hope yourselves and those frequenting the area will have noticed that this has been done and make an effort to keep it tidy now the hard work has been done.

I will be sending out a message to the local area informing them , as soon as I receive the before pictures!

I personally was delighted with the fast turn around, thank you Shamim, especially with how busy the area gets during namaz times and with eid and summer on its way.

Hassan – thank you for raising the issue and providing suggestions, I massively appreciate it and we are still hoping post eid to hold a day where we can get the community together encourage the need to keep the area tidy.

Many Thanks

Take Care

Halima
