  • Wear a Hat Day - Thursday 28th March 2024!

    Published 20/03/24

    Dear parent/carer,

    March is Brain Tumour Awareness month and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys will be supporting the charity Brain Tumour Research by wearing a hat to school on Thursday 28th March 2024. 

    Staff and students can wear a hat for the day, silly, fun, homemade, plain, colourful, small, large, themed but no offensive slogans!

    We are asking staff for a suggested donation of £1, students can donate if they wish to. All donations are to be sent into Reception.

    There are currently two competitions running with a free hat workshop taking place Thursday 21st March 3-4pm sign up with Mrs Hawgood at Reception as there are limited spaces available. Students will be able to create their design on a white baseball hat which they can wear on the 28th – Wear a hat day if they wish to.

    The second competition is a colouring competition, you can collect an entry form from reception – prizes to be won!

    Brain Tumour research receives just 1% of the national spend on cancer for research into brain tumours.

    I hope that with your help and support we can raise some money towards this important research. Last year we raised £300, can we beat that total this year?

    Thanks as always for your support.

  • IWD 2024 - School Display

    Published 12/03/24

    Happy International Women's Day!

    On this day we honour women's accomplishments and promote inclusivity within our communities.  We elevate the focus on women’s equality to help forge a gender equal world.

    Thankyou to the women who have dedicated themselves to the fight for equality and continue to raise their voices against discrimination.

    To celebrate IWD today we have displayed 24 thought provoking posters in our main school corridor. These posters also feature 26 illustrations of important women from history, created by visual storyteller Rori (www.giantkittenhead.com). Rori states ‘I drew important women from history for 100 days. I focused on more obscure women, women whose accomplishments have been forgotten, erased, or have simply fallen out of popularity’.

  • World Book Day - Thursday 7th March 2024

    Published 12/03/24

    World Book Day 2024!

    Today at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys we celebrated World Book Day.

    We kicked off the day with an assembly for Year 7 students where our Librarian Ms Griffiths showed that 7C1 had loaned the most amount of library books so far at 222 books. Since they started here at WPSFB Year 7 have loaned 1296 books.

    Frederick, Sami, Ayrton and Harley were recognised for their help and support in the library and received a certificate and were able to pick a brand new book to keep as a prize.

    Ms Griffiths also gave certificates and books to the following five students for being the top library borrowers, well done to Abdulmateen, Daniel, Nilesh, Cyras and Saswin.

    There was a quiz at form time today, which challenged students to identify the title and author of 10 of the most popular books in our school library.

    There were also 15 posters placed around the main school building featuring a number and a photo of a book. Students had to find all the numbers, names and authors of all 15 books and all successful entries won a prize.

    Our Sixth Form Literacy Leaders have also been gathering student and staff favourite books for a display.

    Thankyou to all the staff and everyone involved in literacy week, it has been fantastic to see so many students talking about reading in the build up to World Book Day as well as witnessing so many silent reading sessions going on around school. Reading for pleasure is so very important - Never stop reading!

  • International Women's Day - Friday 8th March 2024

    Published 01/03/24

    IWD 2024

    International Women's Day 2024 campaign theme is 'Inspire Inclusion'

    The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion.

    When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world.

    And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.

    Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women.

    With well over a century of history and change, the first International Women's Day (IWD) was held in March 1911. IWD isn't country, group or organisation specific. It's a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging women's equality.
