The first Assembly was the introduction and significance of BHM and was led by Mrs Smith – our Diversity lead.   

Two year 6 pupils did an amazing job presenting their PowerPoint on Nigerian Independence Day during the second Assembly. They worked collaboratively, researched the topic, and delivered it confidently. Their hard work, teamwork and knowledge about the topic shone through and pupils and staff thoroughly enjoyed it.  

An ex-pupil, Chitalu Chande now studying at Oxford university, returned to inspire the whole school with her powerful story – a journey of willingness, resilience and perseverance that began at Warren, continued through sixth form and led her all the  way to Oxford.  

Two ex- pupils who are currently doing their work experience also spoke in Assembly about their experiences at Warren and how it propelled them to work harder in life, step out of their comfort zone and explore options available to them. Scarlet was motivated by her experience at Warren to become a teacher! 

Illustrator and Church Musician Mrs .Taaya Griffith from our local community church visited year 2 for an RE and music lesson.    

Chris Bush will also be working with the children after half term sharing his experiences as a professional footballer. 

 Year 5 & 6 pupils engage in anti- racism workshops 

Education is a tool for social justice and our year 5 & 6 pupils have been given the exciting opportunity to engage in a series of anti- racism workshops that are designed to empower students and teachers to explore the ways in which learning about ‘race’ and racism can help us to challenge the unequal systems that can surround us in society. The pupils felt comfortable with their peers and engaged in small group tasks and discussions openly and honestly. Every pupil had the opportunity to share their thoughts and experiences regarding racism and felt safe and secure to share their views. 

Across the school our pupils have looked at, read and engaged with a variety of stories and information this month. This has shown the rich diversity of Black history, moving beyond stereotypes and helping our children learn to see people as individuals with unique backgrounds and cultures.
