• Shakespeare for Schools

  Mon 13 Nov 2023

  On Monday 13th November, some of our students from Upper School performed Shakespeare's play Anthony & Cleopatra at the Grove Theatre in Dunstable.  We rehearsed weekly in the month leading up to the show.  Other students from Upper School also helped make props and scenery during their creative arts lessons.
  Marcus, William, Francesco, Casper, Thomas and a couple of other students performed beautifully to a large audience.  They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we were very proud of all of them.

  As part of St Albans theme day, classes across the school have used their community visits to go to St Albans Cathedral.

Some students particularly enjoyed dressing up!

   

  A great and immersive community visit was had by all!

  

• Student School Council first meeting

  Fri 06 Oct 2023

  Watling View’s student School Council held it’s first meeting of the year on Friday 6^th October.

   

  Class representatives got together to meet each other and learn about their roles for the year. Their first order of business will be to return to their friends in class and ask them some questions about lunch time and playground activities. What kind of activities do we like to do for leisure, and what would we like to see more of?

   

  At the next meeting they will represent their friends and share the results of this consultation exercise, and the school will listen to the feedback and help organise new opportunities for pupils to enjoy themselves and play together during their lunch time break.

• National Teaching Assistants' Day 2023

  Fri 29 Sep 2023

  Teaching Personnel created National Teaching Assistants’ Day in 2012 after realising something was amiss. The calendar was full of red letter awareness days for all varieties of causes in education. Yet nobody had given much thought to the unglamorous yet vital work that teaching assistants do in our classrooms every day. 

   

  Today we are celebrating National Teaching Assistant's Day in recognition of all the amazing hard work and dedication they show towards our students and their education.

   

  A huge thank you to our incredible Teaching Assistants!!!

  We will miss them very much but wish them all the very best in their future aspirations!

  

• Gravely Fruit Farm

  Tue 20 Jun 2023

  Lower Middle School and Early years had an amazing trip to Gravely Fruit Farm. We picked strawberries, played in the park and sand pit, jumped and ran across huge bouncy pillows and enjoyed a bumpy tractor ride! We were all blown away by beautiful site, the range of exciting activities and the lovely staff who made the day such a special experience for our pupils.
