Charity bake sale organised by Faith, with donations going to refugees from Ukraine in the local community 

Thank you to everyone who sent items for the Ukraine 🇺🇦 collection. Members of our pupil Parliament packaged everything up and helped load the van which has been taken to a local depot for distribution.

Thank you for your generous contributions - we have had a fun filled day supporting both comic relief and the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. 🇺🇦 @comicrelief

What an incredible learning experience visiting the Houses of Parliament and creating our own reasons to campaign, debating ways in which to create interest in them with @RobertJenrick and continuing to be the change we want to see @ABYyouthtrust

Fundraiser for @RosieMayNPO: we raised money for our #globalneighbours in Sri Lanka and Nepal so they can be given the opportunity, that those more fortunate have, to learn English and receive a good education. Our prize draw winners had a ride with Santa in the pink Tuk-Tuk! 🎅

Annual Christmas tree decorating by our Pupil Parliament! 

We enjoyed welcoming local MP Robert Jenrick to our wonderful school.

UK Parliament Week 2021- Should fireworks be banned? Our Pupil Parliament hosted assembly on the day of Bonfire Night, debating the matter which then initiated a democratic vote.

Year 3 sharing their love for reading with their Year 6 reading gladiator. 
 

We achieved our Eco Schools Green Flag Award! Well done Environment Ministers. 

We celebrated the great reveal of our new eco-friendly reading shed. An outdoor library for pupils to share their love of reading at play times. 

We work closely with the Friends of Archbishop Cranmer group to decide where we would like raised funds to be spent to enhance our school and curriculum. We decided that our Key Stage 1 library needed new books... and we are so thankful that we got them! We wrote a letter of thanks and our Key Stage 1 pupils are thoroughly enjoying reading and sharing their new stories. 

To mark Mental Health Week 2021 members of our Pupil Parliament shared daily yoga videos for pupils at home and school to enjoy... promoting positive wellbeing and mindfulness.

2019-2020

In partnership with Sport Relief, we took the opportunity to promote the Toilet Twinning project! Our Pupil Parliament led an assembly to talk about the project that we will be raising money for this week. Toilet Twinning funds the work of international relief and development agency Tearfund. Our donations will be used to provide clean water, basic sanitation, and hygiene education.

Our ministers leading the half term Christian Aid assembly about food. This assembly helped to raise awareness about children around the world who do not have enough to eat, and understand what it means to be malnourished.

We were joined by Kerry from Christian Aid who told us about the aims and values of Christian Aid. He then did a workshop with some members of our Pupil Parliament who aim to share their learning with the whole school. 

Members of our Pupil Parliament represented the school at the Nottinghamshire Junior Parliament Day. We visited the Nottingham Council House and spent the day learning about how to debate, researching different viewpoints and then took part in a Houses of Commons style debate. 

This half term's Christian Aid assembly focused on Education around the world. This  assembly recognised the importance of education and helps pupils understand some of the barriers to accessing education.

Jo Towle collected the items our children had donated to the homeless this Christmas. Out Ministers of Christian Distinctiveness awarded her with our Christian Value Awards. 

As part of our Courageous Advocacy project, our Ministers helped to sort out the bottle donations to produce this fantastic display raising awareness for plastics in our oceans. 

We voted democratically to choose two charities that we would like to support as a school. Our Ministers will take lead on these initiatives.
