Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community.
The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it. Wearing a poppy is still a very personal choice, reflecting individual experiences and personal memories. It is never compulsory but is greatly appreciated by those who it is intended to support.

Please find attached below two PDF documents from the Greenwich Safeguarding Children Partnership on water safety awareness.

Breast Cancer Now - Wear it Pink is a charity event that the Poly have supported over the past few years, it is a charity close to our hearts as we have had several colleagues who have benefitted from their support. This year we will be holding our special day on Friday 4th November, staff and students can wear something pink to school-suggested donation £1.
We are also holding our very own ‘Poly Bake Off’, the bakes will be judged on the day by three judges from the boy’s school. A big thank you to Learning Support for hosting the bake sale on the day, I hope with everyone’s support we can raise some much-needed money!
