Lionesses in the making. Our girls’ football team recently competed against three other local schools in a football tournament and won every match. They are currently an undefeated team with a clean sheet — a fantastic achievement that reflects the girls’ hard work, determination and commitment. They take part in weekly lunchtime sessions led by Thahlima, where they develop their skills, resilience and passion for the game in a supportive and inclusive environment. We are incredibly proud of their success and look forward to seeing them continue to grow and shine.

 Year 2 Synagogue Trip. This week, all three year 2 classes had the chance to visit a synagogue to support their learning about Judaism. During their time at Stepney Park, children visit a wide range of religious buildings, including a church, a mosque, a Hindu temple and a Buddhist centre, in addition to the synagogue.

Animal Experience. On Wednesday, our hall hosted a range of exotic visitors, including a meerkat, a snake and this bearded lizard. It was a great opportunity for children in reception, year 1, Forest and Meadow classes to touch and hold the animals and, in some cases, conquer some fears!
