EDIB

During form time, students took part in a special Eid lesson, exploring the significance of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. They learned about the importance of prayer, charity, and how families and communities celebrate through food, gifts, and acts of kindness.

A key part of the celebration was hearing from our students! Through student voice discussions, Muslim students shared their personal experiences of Eid, helping others gain a deeper understanding of the traditions and the joy that comes with the occasion. It was fantastic to see students engaging in meaningful conversations and learning from one another.

Another exciting activity was our henna design challenge, where students created intricate henna patterns on paper. Henna is often used in celebrations and symbolises joy, beauty, and blessings. The creativity on display was incredible, with students designing stunning patterns inspired by traditional henna art.

As part of our ongoing Ban the Banter initiative, our SENCO led an assembly on ableism for all year groups this week. The assembly explored physical, mental, and social ableism, helping students understand how discrimination can affect individuals in different ways.

Students reflected on the impact of language and attitudes, challenged stereotypes, and considered how they can contribute to a more inclusive school environment. To continue this important conversation, students have been invited to take an active role in raising awareness of ableism within the school community.

A huge thank you to our SENCO for delivering such an insightful and thought-provoking assembly!
