This month, we are highlighting the incredible achievements and successes within the Black community, with a special focus on the remarkable contributions of Black women.

It's a time to honour the ambition, resilience, excellence, and leadership that have shaped our world for the better. Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of Black history, filled with accomplishments, artistry, and brilliance.

One of our wonderful teachers here at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls, Miss Weston, generously donated this amazing set of balloons to honour Black History Month.

We think they look fantastic, thank you so much Miss Weston for adding that extra something special towards our BHM celebrations

Dear Parents/Carers,

WPSfG will be taking part in this year’s Jeans for Genes Day on Friday 22^nd September.

1 in 25 children has a genetic disorder that makes their life very difficult. That’s like one in every class. By wearing our jeans and donating, we will change the lives of these children.

All children and staff are invited to wear their jeans on Friday 22nd September. We’d like everyone to take part so please encourage your child to come into school on the day wearing their jeans and with a £1 donation.  We expect students to simply swap their usual skirt or trousers for jeans, they must still wear the rest of their school uniform (shirt, tie, blazer and shoes).  Jeans also need to be neat and suitable for school with no tears, rips or emblems.

We will sharing information with students throughout the week so that they have an understanding of how important it is for us to take part and support this cause.

Jeans for Genes Day have a series of powerful films to explain how your child’s donation will make a difference. Each film provides a compelling and personal insight, introducing some amazing children living with genetic disorders, sharing first-hand what life is like with their condition. Please visit jeansforgenes.org/schools for more information and to view these films.

If you’d like to find out more about how our support will help, please visit their website at jeansforgenes.org

Thank you,

The WPSfG team

On Thursday 7^th September we welcomed Calvin Bailey MBE, Officer Commanding, 70 Squadron RAF into school to speak to our Year 11 cohort. Calvin spoke about his life and journey from being born in Zambia and growing up in Plumstead to learning to fly a plane and to the evacuation of civilians from Afghanistan in 2021. Calvin discussed the importance to our students of having dreams and planning for the future, making sure that students research and find out about the opportunities and careers that are available them.

We really appreciate Calvin coming into our school delivering such an informative and inspirational presentation, our Year 11 students had lots of questions!

This is one of the clips that Calvin showed during his presentation:
