Our final Lower Phase Recognition assembly was full of fantastic achievements, showing that despite the end of term fast approaching, the children have not taken their eye off the ball at all and are continuing to work hard and produce learning they can be very proud of. We hope to see lots of you at the 'Take One Picture' exhibition after school today, where lots more wonderful work will be on show for you to enjoy.
And the scores are in....
No tens from Len, but, wow, another fantastic set of data from across the school...
There is statutory data for Reception (GLD), Y1 (Phonics), Y4 (MTC) and Year 6 (KS2 SATs) Below you will see the school’s results for all the statutory data points mapped out against the performance of children across the country.
Have a look and see why are so pleased.
We saw range of pieces from English, maths and science today, but most impressive of all was the attitude displayed by the children. We talked about the different skills and attributes we need to be top-class learners and today, we saw examples of what happens when children are resilient, determined and positive. Well done everyone!
Sorry it's been so long since the last recognition assembly, with sports days, residentials and school trips going, its non-stop in the summer term. The work is still going on though, so take a look at this bumper edition
By total coincidence, each teacher selected a piece of writing for the children to share today!
Year 4 Residential at Stubbers Adventure Centre
Our Year 4 children had a fantastic experience at Stubbers Adventure Centre in Upminster during their thrilling three-day, two-night stay from 18th to 20th June 2025.
Throughout the trip, the children demonstrated incredible confidence and resilience. They bravely faced new challenges, overcame fears and anxieties, and truly pushed themselves to the max! We are so proud of their efforts and achievements on their very first residential visit.
Take a look at some of the unforgettable moments, fun times, and acts of bravery from our amazing Year 4 adventurers!
For a range of reasons, we haven't had a Recognition assembly for a while, so it was an absolute delight to see the wonderful work the children shared with us this morning. They're certainly back with a bang!
Bucking the current trend of falling school roll, particularly in London, Edmund Waller has been oversubscribed for the past 4 years. The school is in great shape, with our three school values - Creativity, Humanity and Ambition - all coming together to create an environment where children flourish socially, creatively and academically. We are very proud of the school and can't wait to show you round.
We are currently putting together the dates for the Autumn Prospective Parent Tours.

In keeping with our key value of 'Humanity', we kicked off the new term, with an assembly about the origins and purpose of the Pride celebrations.
Have a look at the file below for some information that was shared with the children - the ap of countries that do (and do not) officially celebrate or mark Pride in some way is particularly interesting.
