‘Open Event’ on Monday 25th January 2016
Service Level Agreements were
sent to all maintained schools at the end of last term.
If you are a maintained school but have not received your SLA then
please contact Jonathan Parr at
An ‘Open Event’ will be held in two
sessions on Monday 25th January at Francis House (Session 1: 10am-
12pm, Session 2: 5pm-7pm) this
will provide an opportunity to
discuss your SLA and services provided. To book onto this please
contact [email protected].
NPW are pleased to offer another
three year SLA, except for ICT.
Schools signing up to this deal need only expect maximum fixed price
increases of 2% plus the value of any Local Government Pay award
between April 2017 - April 2019.
Charges in each service area have
been reviewed so there is not a fixed percentage price increase
across the whole company, instead new charges have been applied for
each Service area. NPW believes
that by setting our charging policy from April 2016 until 2019, schools
will benefit by being able to budget-plan and have reassurance of the
cost of support services for the future.
SLAs sent to all maintained schools
To round out the term, Drew
Primary School celebrated its core values in an assembly that
included contributions from parents, governors and the
local Councillor.
On the morning of Friday 18th, Drew pupils and invited guests
joined in the school’s assembly hall to the sound of the Steel Pan
Ensemble’s rendition of White Christmas.
The school had gathered, along
with Lambent Productions, to share what ‘British-ness’ means to
children today.
Having worked with Safeguarding
Advisor and Consultant, Perdeep
Gill, to explore ideas of being British, pupils from Years 4 and 6
ultimately reached the conclusion that: “our values are British, owned
by lots of people in the world” and that it is not all about being united
by a country but by a set of
principles.
The assembly opened with God Save the Queen and a recitation of the British Values that Drew
adheres to: Democracy; Rule of
Law; Individual Liberty; Mutual Respect; Tolerance of Differences.
Pupils proudly displayed coats of arms that represented these values
and pledged to live up to British Values such as adhering to the law
and treating everybody equally. It
was then the turn of Head Teacher, Emma Peltier, along with parents
and governors to read statements that they had prepared, similarly
pledging adherence themselves in
front of the pupils.
The assembly also included a brief
history of Noor Inayat Khan, the British Secret Agent born in Russia
of Indian Muslim descent who was killed in Dachau Concentration
Camp. Her story illustrated that
values considered British are not dependent on where a person is
born or on their religion.
After closing with Village Green Preservation Society, Councillor
C l i ve Furness o f fe red h i s congratulations and thanks, offering
his thoughts on British Values as “what you feel and how you live
and how you think”. He then p r e s e n t e d C e r t i f i c a t e s o f
Achievement for British Values to all
who presented.
The highlight of the assembly was a
performance of The British (serves 60 million) , Benjamin Zephaniah’s
poem about the make-up of British
Society. The pupils’ dramatic recitation drew rhythms and
de l i v e r y f r om m us i c a nd performance representing all parts
of contemporary British society and adding force to the poem’s message
of inclusivity and acceptance.
Being Me, Being Us, Being British
Drew celebrates British Values at the end of term
On behalf of NPW, I want to take this opportunity to wish schools, partners and NPW
supporters a Happy New Year and look forward to working together in 2016 - Anna Crispin

Pupils report from Number 10
Eastlea’s Hour of Code with the Prime Minister
With BBC School Report* we
have definitely attended some brilliant events and have met some
of the most inspirational individuals - we have interviewed Satya
Nadella (the CEO of Microsoft),
Olympians and even Lord Hall (the director general of the
BBC). However on Tuesday 8th December 2015 Eastlea’s BBC
School Report team attended a particularly exciting event, accompanying
a group of our Year 7 students who were
specially selected to take part in the Hour of Code at 10 Downing Street.
The students got a chance to meet
MPs and even teach David Cameron, the prime minister, and
Nicky Morgan, the secretary of state
for education, how to code. Some
students described the opportunity
as "exciting" and "nerve-wracking" at the same time. The students
were accompanied by Eastlea Principal, Miss Jibunoh, Mrs Woodhouse,
corporate services manager of
Eastlea School, the BBC news school reporter crew of Jogile Kovalciukaite and
Kacey-Leigh Jasper, Mr Moss and Mr Richards. Claire Riley and the
Microsoft team were also present along with the Hour of Code team
to make the day go without a hitch.
Although we were unable to interview Mr Cameron due to his
very busy schedule, his team fed back that he was extremely
impressed by the knowledge and
innovation of our year seven students - some who had brought
in their own BBC Micro:bit powered inventions such as a walking robot.
During her interview Nicky Morgan said "by teaching children at such a
young age, they soak up knowledge
like sponges, helping them with jobs they may do in the future".
Benjamin Jasper, one of the extremely lucky Year sevens, said
that he “felt privileged to be able to
attend such a prestigious event”,
and that he “enjoyed not only teaching people but learning from
the other students who attended the trip”. Other students said that it
was “a once in a lifetime experience” and
“something that they will never forget”.
The students were praised for their
enthusiasm, outstanding behaviour and knowledge by the Number 10
team and receiving certificates for completing their Hour of Code.

To further understand World
War One (WWI), the Forest Gate Community School History
Department organised a visit for forty-six pupils to Belgium.
On Friday 11th December the
pupils, in Year 8, visited Ypres to see WWI sites they have been
studying in lessons. Pupils had the opportunity to visit the In Flanders
F i e l d s M u s e u m a n d t h e
Passchendaele Museum, alongside
paying a visit to Tyne Cot British Cemetery.
The visit enabled pupils to visualise the scale of sacrifice made by
British and Commonwealth soldiers
during WWI to preserve the British Values that the pupils learn about
and demonstrate at school and in the community.

Children's author Jeff Kinney
didn't set out to be an author, his childhood dream was to
become a newspaper cartoonist. However, this ended abruptly,
when his drawings were
deemed "too simple and childlike". Jeff went on to create
the hugely popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and at a special
event at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, he told his
story to an audience of primary
school groups, including Ranelagh.
When Jeff Kinney was introduced,
the audience erupted into applause. Jeff then spoke to them about his
route to success and read extracts
from his brand new book. Following the presentation, the author took
part in a lengthy Q and A session with the young audience.
Sumana said: "Jeff Kinney is my favourite author, so it was really
inspiring to be able to actually meet
him. He spoke about never giving up on your dreams, which I found
very motivating."
The event was organised by the
charity 'Save the Children Fund' and
the Community Leader at Ranelagh, Aisha Naeem Sheikh, was offered
tickets for the year five pupils due to the fact that Ranelagh is a
Flagship School for 'Families and Schools Together' (F.A.S.T.) in
Newham.
Also last term a group of twelve
Ranelagh pupils visited Roquetas de Mar as part of a Twinning Project.
Shella Lawrenson, Head of School, who organised the Twinning
Programme, said: "Primarily, the
reason behind this initiative is to improve the children's acquisition of
Spanish and to give them plenty of opportunities to practise their skills
in real life situations."
Whilst in Roquetas, the children
attended classes, enjoyed a visit to
the Blue Flag Beach of Playa de la Romanilla, sampled traditional
Spanish dishes and stopped off at 'Mini Hollywood' which is the
location for many popular movies.
The visit and the ethos behind it were summed up by Emily when
she said: "I got to have a go at speaking Spanish to my new
friends."

Every Thursday evening one St
Bonaventure's schoolboy swaps his brown blazer for a blue
uniform as he becomes part of the Metropolitan Police's
Volunteer Police Cadets. Last
week Tyrese Ade received the news that he had been named
Newham Junior Ambassador of the Year Award.
The 12 year-old from Canning Town has been a police cadet for just
over a year. He was selected for
being an excellent role model; his good behaviour and positive
attitude and influence on other cadets; being a regular attender at
meetings; fully engaging in all
organised events and being a great ambassador for the service.
Cadets work closely with the Safer Neighbourhood Team and assist
and interact with the Newham
community. They are taught respect and discipline - vital life
lessons indeed.
St Bonaventure's Head teacher,
Paul Halliwell, said: "We are very proud of Tyrese. He is a fine young
man who is very mature for his age
and is an excellent ambassador for St Bon's, The Met and young people
in general. It's no surprise he has been recognised."
On Wednesday 16th December, as
promised, 14 St Bonaventure's students returned to Mornington
Hall Care Home in Manor Park with gifts for the staff and residents. The
s t a f f a nd r e s i dent s we re
overwhelmed and asked the students to come back next year.
The boys were deeply moved by their visit and one commented:
"Our parents always told us that giving was far better than receiving
and it has taken until today for me
to really get it and understand that it truly is."
