Dear Parents/Carers,
We are excited to announce that our school will be participating in Odd Socks Day on Monday 13th November as part of Anti-Bullying Week. This day is an opportunity for students and staff to wear mismatched socks to school in support of the cause. It's a fun and positive way to celebrate what makes us all unique and raise awareness against bullying.
We want to emphasise that with this event there is no pressure to wear the latest fashions or the need to buy anything extra or new, students are encouraged to simply be themselves. This is an important reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe and accepted, and we are thrilled to participate in Anti-Bullying Week in such a meaningful way.
Your son will be involved in other activities throughout the week e.g. whole school assemblies, form class activities.
Information on our anti-bullying policy can be found here

Wear it Pink Day 2023 at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys
On Friday, November 3rd, we hosted our annual Wear it Pink Day event to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Now – a cause that's close to our hearts. We're proud to have supported this charity for several years, as several of our colleagues have directly benefited from their support.
Staff and students alike made a donation of £1 and sported something pink to school that day, creating a sea of pink as they walked in. In addition, we organised a Poly Bake Off where staff submitted their homemade desserts to be judged by a panel consisting of Ms Manley, Mr Evans, Ms Hoang, and Miss Redsell. The judges had a difficult job but ultimately awarded the top prizes to Ms Prescott for her Lemon Drizzle Cake, Ms Tomkins for her Victoria Sponge, and Ms Youngs for her Banana Bread.
During break time, we held a bake sale featuring all the delicious entries from the bake-off. We also organised a "Guess the Number of Teapots" competition where staff could donate and submit their guesses. Congratulations to Ms Tibble, who correctly guessed 67 teapots!
Thanks to everyone who participated in Wear it Pink Day, whether by baking, donating, or purchasing cakes. We raised an amazing £213 for Breast Cancer Now – thank you for your generous support! A special thanks to Mrs Hawgood for organising this event and going the extra mile to make it so special for our school community.
Dear parents/carers,
We are holding some talks at both Woolwich Poly Girls' and Woolwich Poly Boys' schools this half-term on the topic of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE). They will be given by the Growing Against Violence charitable organisation and will be on the following dates:
Thursday 16th November 3.30 - 4.30pm at the Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls' site
Tuesday 5th December 4 - 5pm at the Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys' site
These talks are open to parents and carers of students in either school, so you may attend on either day. The talks will be the same each time so you do not need to come more than once.
Please see the attached flyer for information regarding CCE and contact your child's Head of Year if you have concerns of this nature.

Dear parents/carers,
The police have informed us of their intention to have a dispersal zone covering Woolwich Town Centre on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 November throughout the days and nights as a measure to prevent antisocial behaviour.
We advise that any children without adult escort may be stopped by the police, questioned and asked to leave Woolwich Town Centre. Failure to co-operate with police instruction may lead to arrest.
Those students coming to Saturday school or passing through Woolwich Town Centre are advised to take or change buses outside the main squares and Powys Street areas.
Mr T Lawrence
Head of School
