Swadha has read an astonishing 1,770,147 words, Ayaan has powered through an impressive 1,145,297 words. We also have several amazing world Millionaires in Year 8: Zakariya with 1,563,591 words Haniya with 1,485,363 words Viktoriia with 1,338,321 words In Year 9 the amazing reading continues: Abida with 1,585,550 words and Emaan with 1,003,558 words. Your commitment to reading is inspiring the whole school. Keep turning those pages and exploring new worlds — you’re proving that readers really are leaders. Let’s see who joins the Million‑Word Club next!

A message from Redbridge Council: New Year, New Challenge. Foster for Redbridge Council. I will save more money. I will eat healthier foods. Why not make a new year’s resolution which will change a life? Over 300 children are unable to stay with their families in Redbridge each year and need a secure, stable and nurturing foster home. If you have a place in your heart and home and are considering fostering, please call 0208 708 6068 or visit https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/fosteringschools to book onto our next Virtual Information Session. We can’t wait to hear from you.
