We are delighted to welcome back a Woolwich Poly Alumni to lead Maths Admissions Test Masterclasses.

Michael will be holding sessions supporting our Year 13 Further Maths students who are sitting their MAT paper on Wednesday 2nd November 2022.

Michael Nguyen achieved 5 A*s in A Level Maths, Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and is currently studying for his PhD in mathematics at University College London.

He completed his Masters in Mathematics from UCL in Summer 2022.

Well done to the students who attended the first session. It was incredibly insightful and informative.

Best-selling children’s author Steve Cole came to talk to Years 7 and 8 on Tuesday 18th October. 

Steve has written over 200 action, fantasy, comedy and adventure books including Astrosaurs, Beast Quest and Z. Rex and the sales of his books have exceeded three million copies. He gave an exciting workshop about his recent Young Bond series and answered the students’ questions about his career as a writer.

Copies of all the Young Bond books, as well many of his other titles, are available in the school library. 

Thank you to Ms Griffiths our school librarian for coordinating this fantastic extra-curricular opportunity for our students.

On Friday 14th October we supported Mental Health Week by wearing green items of clothing to school and also holding a bake sale.

Students and staff baked and donated cakes, and we sold these tasty treats, raising over £80.00 for the Mental Health Foundation. 

A big thank you to the students from the student council and our Year 11 Prefects for their support helping out on the day.

A thank you must also go to Mrs Hawgood who organised the events for Mental Health Week and made this week so much brighter. Thank you for all you do to support to our school community with extracurricular events.
