Chatting with Channing
Year 2 has been exploring the continents and oceans, using atlases and globes to deepen their understanding of the world. Loving their enthusiasm for discovering our planet!
The U13 football team finished runners-up out of 20 teams in the Alessia Cup 5-a-side tournament. The team was presented with their medals by Arsenal and England star Alessia Russo.
On Wednesday 6 November, historian Dr Lisa Pine visited the school to speak to Year 10 and Year 11 students in the Arundel Centre about the concept of the Volksgemeinschaft (“people’s community”) in Nazi Germany. Drawing on her extensive research into German history and society, Dr Pine explored how ideas of unity, family life, and national identity were used to shape everyday experience under the regime. There were many impressive and thoughtful questions from the students, and Dr Pine commented on the inquisitive nature of our learners. The students greatly enjoyed the opportunity to hear from such a distinguished scholar and to deepen their understanding of this important topic.
On 5 November, Year 12 Geography students spent a day in East London investigating the urban geography of Brick Lane and Spitalfields. The trip brought to life their classroom learning about place identity, regeneration, and inequality.
Gathering data through environmental quality surveys, land-use mapping, questionnaires, and annotated photographs. They examined how migration, investment, and creative industries have transformed the area, reflecting on whether regeneration has enhanced or diluted its cultural distinctiveness.
Students showed excellent focus and curiosity throughout the day, combining rigorous observation with thoughtful discussion. Back in school, they analysed their findings and evaluated how economic change and cultural identity intersect in one of London’s most distinctive neighbourhoods.
