We were delighted to welcome back @divinmubama, England U21 and Stoke City striker, alongside three former students who are all thriving in their own fields.
Each has taken a completely different journey: elite football, a self-made car care business, salon leasing, and self-taught ...trading, yet all are built on the same strong foundations.
This photo captures all of them with Mr Bartlett, our Assistant Director of Sixth Form, who said: “Proud of these young men. Proud of what they have become. Successful second - great people first. What stood out most in our conversations wasn’t success. It was humility, emotional intelligence, resilience, real conversation and their genuine care.”

Our group of year 10 SACRE students joined other local schools for an afternoon of exploring different churches in Newham. This gave students an insight into different denominations and how different churches work.
Dylan, "I really liked visiting different churches; they look so ...different, but one thing they have in common is how they all serve their local community."

Our Year 7 students recently participated in the Jack Petchey Talk About Transition workshop, designed to support students as they develop confidence, communication skills, and strategies for managing the move into secondary school.
The session focused on building resilience, fostering ...positive relationships, and encouraging students to express themselves effectively.
Student feedback included:
“The workshop helped me feel more assured when speaking in front of others.”
“I learned useful ways to stay positive during new challenges.”
“It was reassuring to know that many students share similar worries.”
We are grateful to the @jackpetcheyfoundation for providing such a valuable opportunity for our students’ personal development.

Advent marks the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year.
On the first Sunday of Advent, we pause to reflect and begin our spiritual journey. We light the first purple candle, the Candle of Hope, reminding us of the hope the prophets held for the coming of the Messiah. 🕯️
... Wishing you a blessed Advent. ✝️
