Our pupils recently enjoyed an exciting and enriching trip to LEGOLAND Windsor Resort as part of their involvement in Lego Club. Throughout the visit, the pupils represented the school exceptionally well, demonstrating exemplary behaviour, enthusiasm, and maturity at all times. A special thank you goes to Mr Van Gelder and Miss Day for accompanying the trip and supporting the pupils throughout the day. Their dedication and encouragement played a significant role in making the experience both memorable and enjoyable for everyone involved. During the visit, pupils also participated in the engaging ‘LEGO, Camera, Action!’ workshop, where they collaborated creatively in teams to produce their own LEGO film. This hands-on experience allowed pupils to develop their imagination, communication, teamwork, and storytelling skills in a fun and inspiring environment. Congratulations to all the pupils involved for being outstanding ambassadors for the school and for embracing every opportunity with such positivity and enthusiasm.  Miss A Yasin (Head of Year 8)

Our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils had an exciting and adventurous trip to PGL Grosvenor Hall last term. 105 pupils from all three sites, stayed at Grosvenor Hall for 2 nights in March, where they participated in a range of challenging activities, including abseiling, rock climbing, fencing and raft building. Throughout the trip, their behaviour was outstanding, and they truly embodied the values of our school, acting as excellent ambassadors. All pupils had a fantastic time, showing incredible bravery and determination when it came to overcoming their fears. With every obstacle faced, pupils showed resilience and perseverance, a great example of our school values. Pupils continued to support one another, cheering each other on and offering encouragement at every step. This trip is always a fantastic trip where pupils truly use this opportunity to build positive relationships, resilience to difficult situations, and excellent teamwork skills. We couldn’t be prouder of the outstanding behaviour of our Year 7’s and Year 8’s. A massive thank you to the 10 members of staff that gave up their time for the trip and offered their support throughout.

Dr Niki Kalaydzhieva , a lecturer at UCL specialising in pure maths, conducted a Game, SET, Maths workshop, where pupils learned how to play a game called SET. This game enhances pupils' understanding of finite geometry, modular arithmetic and projective geometry through an interactive problem-solving card game. Here is a video of the game: ( How to Play Set (Math Card Game)  It was fantastic to see students engaged by the workshop and interacting with each other to master the card game.

The Year 7 and 8 students have been developing their practical cooking skills, teamwork and confidence through our after-school Cooking Club at Green Lane. This term, students successfully made delicious cinnamon rolls and cheese and onion plaits, demonstrating excellent creativity, food preparation skills and attention to hygiene and safety. It has been fantastic to see students becoming more independent in the kitchen while learning new techniques and enjoying a positive hands-on cooking experience. 

PGL Netball Tour 2026 During the 24th–26th April, 17 students from Years 8 and 9 represented Robert Clack School at the PGL Netball Tournament, competing against schools from across the country. Alongside the tournament, students also had the opportunity to take part in a range of exciting activities including axe throwing, rock climbing, giant swing, archery and the leap of faith. The Year 8 team performed brilliantly, winning 3 out of their 6 matches and narrowly missing out on a place in the semi-finals. The Year 9 team worked incredibly hard throughout the competition, showing determination and resilience right to the very end. Their efforts paid off as they won the final 3–2 against Sandon Wood, becoming PGL Netball Tournament Champions 2026. All of the girls were a pleasure to take away, remaining professional, well behaved and consistently upholding the values of Robert Clack School throughout the trip. Massive congratulations to the Year 9 girls on being crowned PGL Netball Tournament Winners 2026 — a fantastic achievement and one the school is extremely proud of. Miss Robbins & Miss Shelley

At the end of last term, form 7D received letters from their pen pals at Bluebells Academy in Kenya. They then spent form time writing and designing postcards to send back. Students shared their favourite things, showed off their drawing skills and asked their pen pals questions about their lives in Kenya. We are excited to get their replies!

As a reward for their hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout the year, members of Art Club enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Science Museum. The students represented the school exceptionally well, displaying exemplary behaviour, politeness, and maturity throughout the visit. They engaged enthusiastically with the interactive exhibits, explored the fascinating galleries with curiosity, and showed genuine interest in the links between science, creativity, and innovation. Staff at the museum commented positively on the students’ conduct and respectful attitude, making the trip an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. The visit was a well-deserved reward for a wonderful year of effort and achievement within the Art Club, and we are incredibly proud of all the students who attended.

This Summer 1 term, Reception have been learning all about Transport . The children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring different types of vehicles and how people and goods travel in different ways. As part of our creative learning, the children used collage techniques to design and make their own transport vehicles, as well as contributing to a range of transport-themed projects for our classroom displays. In Literacy, we have shared and explored a variety of transport-related stories, including Runaway Train by Benedict Blathwayt and Duck in the Truck by Jez Alborough. The children have shown fantastic progress in both their reading and writing this term, and we are incredibly proud to see so many children moving up to new reading levels and growing in confidence as writers. This term, the children also enjoyed a wonderful trip to Eastbrookend Discovery Centre, where they took part in a variety of outdoor learning activities. These included nature bingo, exploring the environment, and searching for different minibeasts. The children demonstrated excellent curiosity, teamwork, and enthusiasm throughout the visit.  In Maths, the children have been learning about sharing into groups, doubles, odd and even numbers, shape composition, and volume and capacity. They have enjoyed exploring these concepts through practical activities, games, and hands-on learning opportunities. To end the term, the children will be taking part in exciting Bee Day activities, including a special spelling bee challenge. We are looking forward to celebrating all of the children’s hard work and achievements this term.
