Most Archbishop Lanfranc pupils (92%) say we should NOT tease in a mean way, call others hurtful names or spread unkind stories.An independent survey was conducted in June 2011 by Wesley Perkins of Hobart and William Smith colleges, New York, to look into the way our pupils treat one another and what they think about other people’s behaviour.  The results for this Social Norms survey were very positive, for example 90% of pupils 'strongly agree' or 'agree' that other pupils care about them.

Ms Abdelnoor and Ms Al-Sanea took a group of year 7 and 8 boys to ‘The Hidden Treasures of the Mary Rose’ Exhibition at Whitgift School, South Croydon on 6 July 2009.  The exhibition is open until 1 September 2009 and entrance is free for school groups.  There is a choice of activities and workshops in which children can participate.

Our group were given a tour of the exhibition, played a variety of interactive games and enjoyed a workshop identifying a variety of artefacts found on the Mary Rose.  An object that the boys thought might be a fishing rod, weapon or candle lighter turned out to be a canon lighter (linstock).  The exhibition staff were very welcoming and managed to engage the boys for the full 2½ hour visit!

Walk to school week

Walk to school week is next week. The theme is Walk 'n' talk. The idea is to get you to see the social side of walking and chatting with your friends. Lets's face it - walking is often a more reliable way of getting to school on time!

Walking:

  • saves time waiting for the bus
  • is great for the environment
  • gives you a chance to have a good catch-up with friends
  • gives parents some more freedom in the mornings
  • is a healthy start and end of the day 
  • does not cost a penny
