Growing stronger together in God’s Love.

The school was closed their half term break from 16th – 20th February.

In her newsletter of 27th February, Mrs. Filsell wrote:

‘This week, our Collective Worship beautifully brought together our values of love, koinonia and compassion as we reflected on Pancake Day and Ash Wednesday 2026, thinking about forgiveness, fresh starts and caring for one another.

Thank you to our EYFS families who joined us for the Phonics Worship — your presence and continued commitment to your children’s learning is greatly appreciated.

We are also grateful to Kooth for speaking with Year 6 about their mental health and wellbeing, particularly around the important theme of online safety.

Here’s to a positive and purposeful start to the new term !’

St Richard went to a local park to do some litter picking! They were inspired by their Sikhism unit in RE, when they learnt that it is important to Sikhs to serve their community. They thought about ways that they could serve their local community and felt proud of their hard work.

On 6th March, Mrs. Filsell wrote:

‘This week has been full of excitement and celebration as we enjoyed a fun-filled World Book Day. The children looked fantastic and shared their love of reading in so many creative ways. A special well done to Zayann, who won Rocky’s Reward and enjoyed some special time with our much-loved school dog.

Our Faith Group also had a wonderful visit to Holy Trinity, where they learned more about the Eucharist and deepened their understanding of our faith. Meanwhile, Year 5 had an unforgettable experience at Wimbledon Theatre, taking part in the largest rap lesson ever and helping to beat a Guinness World Record.

What a brilliant week of learning, faith and fun!’

Year 1 are learning about the history of All Saints School. They went on a scavenger hunt around the Haydon’s Road campus to see what Victorian features they could find. 

They also enjoyed a visit from Miss Hardy, who talked to them about the history of the school, including some of the events during her time as a teacher at All Saints’, illustrated with photos.

 Howon and Akash’s mums spent a morning in the Nursery  teaching them how they  celebrate lunar new year at home.

The children learnt to bow, say happy new year, decorated lucky red envelopes and did a dragon dance.

Friday 13th March:

This week has been full of enriching experiences and wonderful     opportunities for our children to shine. Year 3 enjoyed a fantastic trip to Southwark Cathedral, where they took part in a special workshop all about the Romans. The children learned about Roman life and explored some of the different Roman gods, discovering what they represented and why they were important to people in Roman times. They also had great fun creating their own Roman-inspired mosaics, carefully arranging colourful pieces to design beautiful patterns just like the Romans did in their homes and buildings.

Across the school, children have also been busy organising their sponsored events for our Lenten Appeal, which will take place next week. We are so proud of the initiative they are showing as they think about how they can support others during this important season of reflection and compassion.

A special mention must also go to Mr Higgins’ Children’s Choir, who gave a fabulous performance to parents this week — their confidence, enthusiasm and beautiful singing made it a truly memorable occasion.

This week our Nursery children have been enjoying lots of exciting learning inspired by our story about some mischievous aliens on the hunt for underpants!

Friday 20th March:

‘This week has been full of curiosity, creativity and discovery as we celebrated an exciting STEM Week. Our children truly embraced their roles as future scientists and engineers, taking part in a range of hands-on activities — from making ice cream to designing and building newspaper towers and exploring the power of moving magnets. It has been wonderful to see such enthusiasm, teamwork and problem-solving skills across the school. With experiences like these, it’s no surprise that we are proud holders of the PSQM Gilt Science Award — a true reflection of our commitment to high-quality science learning. Well done everyone! “

STEM Week highlights

In DT Year 1 built towers using only newspapers and masking tape and then in Maths they explored volume and capacity and recorded findings in a table.

Year 3 recently explored the work of designer Finn Juhl, using it as inspiration to design and build their own chairs from newspaper. As part of our STEM D&T focus, the children showed great curiosity, experimenting with different ways to make their structures strong and stable. The challenge was to create a chair sturdy enough for Rocky, our school dog (the teddy version), to sit on during the holidays. Through testing and improving their designs, pupils developed problem-solving skills and resilience. We were impressed by their creativity and thoughtful designs—Rocky now has a fantastic set of chairs to enjoy.

In Science this week, we explored how magnets can move metal objects without touching them. By using a magnet under the paper, we were able to guide a paper clip through a maze. This showed us how the magnetic force can work through materials like paper. We also tested different things to see what would happen. We tried using different thicknesses of paper to see if the magnet could still move the paper clip. We also added pictures or stickers to the paper clip to see how extra weight changed the way it moved. From our exploration, we learned that magnets can pull metal objects from a short distance, but thicker materials and heavier objects can make it harder for the magnet to move them. This helped us understand more about how magnets work.

Friday 27th March. – the final day of the Spring Term.

On Wednesday, Mrs Khan visited Reception to talk to the children about Ramadan and Eid. She explained the significance of Ramadan as a special time for reflection, kindness, and helping others. The children learned about the importance of doing good deeds, such as sharing, being respectful, and showing generosity to those in need.

Mrs Khan also spoke about how Eid is celebrated at the end of       Ramadan, describing it as a joyful occasion filled with family, food, and giving. To make the experience even more engaging, the children learned a simple dance, which they thoroughly enjoyed and performed with great enthusiasm. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn about different cultures and traditions in a fun and interactive way.

Mrs. Filsell wrote:

“As we come to the end of the Spring Term, it’s hard to believe how quickly the weeks have flown by. We gathered together for a lovely end of term service, where it was especially meaningful to share and learn the beautiful hymn ‘In Christ Alone’. Thank you to all the parents who joined us — it was a joy to celebrate the children as they received their Christian Value and Star of the Term certificates. We are so proud of all they have achieved.

Wishing our whole school community a blessed and peaceful Easter. “

It was ‘standing room only’ for the End of Term Easter Service in All Saints’ Church. Children in the Year 6 Faith Group Team welcomed everyone to the service, and the prayers were led by the Faith Group Team in Year 5, Year 4 and Year 3. The children enthusiastically sang the hymns – When I think about the Cross, In Christ Alone and Sing out an Easter Song – and Mrs Filsell presented certificates to one child from each class for Christian Values and then for Star of the Term.

After the welcome, Fr. Christopher said a few words, then blessed the palm crosses which had been bundled into classes and before the final hymn one child from each class collected their bundle from Fr. Christopher, and they were taken back to school and given out to the children before they went home.

School closed at 2.00 pm — and re-opens after the Easter break on  Monday 13th April  at 8.30 am.  We wish everyone a ‘safe and happy holiday’.
