#SSANews 🦉✨ Ms Ikar and Ms Haynes visited Selwyn Primary school this week to present Year 5 students with their debating certificates and special prizes!

#SSANews 🦉✨ ✨Stratford School Academy staff and students raise £1217.81 for Place2Be ahead of the London Landmarks Half Marathon! ✨ On Sunday 2nd April, staff from Stratford School Academy will be taking on the huge challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon (LLHM) to raise vital funds for children’s mental health charity, Place2Be. Place2Be provides child counselling and mental health support in schools, including primary, secondary, high and all-through schools across England, Scotland and Wales. In June 2021, Stratford School Academy partnered with Place2Be to provide students with access to a dedicated Place2Be mental health professional, who has become integral to the school team. Our Place2Be School Counsellor Arefa Attan, works closely with students, families and staff to improve emotional wellbeing and provide mental health support for the whole school. Students use Place2Be for lots of different reasons. The most common ones are anxiety, struggling to focus, low self-esteem, mood swings and worries at home. In particular, the Place2Talk service has proved popular amongst the young people of Newham as it provides them with the opportunity to talk to their Place2Be counsellor about any problems or worries they are experiencing. Stratford School Academy teachers and support staff decided to take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon this year, to give their thanks and support back to Place2Be, who they believe has made a difference to the lives of their students. However, it wasn’t just staff who wanted to get involved in giving back to the charity… Stratford School Academy’s proactive Student Leadership Team, also pledged to support Place2Be and their teachers by raising money in the run up to the LLHM. To raise money, student leaders organised not one but three fundraisers in the Spring Term which proved popular amongst the wider student body. The fundraisers including Girls Movie Night, Boys & Girls Movie Night and a FIFA 23’ Tournament enabled staff and students to raise a fantastic amount of money ahead of the LLHM! #place2be #LLHM #fundraising #studentleadershipteam #teachers #schoolcommunity #mentalhealth #newham #forestgate

#SSANews 🦉✨ This academic year, #Year10 drama students are participating in the National Theatre Connections Festival 2023. As part of the festival, students have performed Is My Microphone On? by Jordan Tannahill in the Upton Lane Assembly Hall and will now go on to perform at artdepot, a National Theatre partner theatre in North London. National Theatre Connections is an annual, nationwide youth theatre festival. Every year, Connections commissions new plays for young people to perform. The programme brings together some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow, provides young people with excellent insight into professional theatre performance as well as the opportunity to perform their play at an official National Theatre venue. Students have been rehearsing every week to ensure that they are ready for their upcoming performance on a professional stage in North London. On Tuesday 28th February, their practice was put to the ultimate test as their peers, families, staff and a NT Connections mentor director assembled in the Upton Lane Assembly Hall to watch the students’ debut performance. During the performance, the students performed with clarity, audibility, story-telling, conviction, and energy in both cast and pace which prompted a standing ovation and flowers from the audience. A huge well done to all of the students whose unfaltering dedication and commitment to the festival has seen them truly grow and excel as performers. The students will now work on the feedback they receive from the NT Connections mentor director to develop their production for transfer at leading Partner Theatre, artsdepot. If you missed the performance, do not fret! You can still purchase tickets to watch their second performance 👉🏻 LINK IN BIO #ntconnections #ntconnections2023 #nationaltheatre #nationaltheatreconnections #nationaltheatreconnections2023 #drama #performance #dramaperformance #theatre #actors #secondaryschool #KS4 #education #forestgate #newham
