Dear Parents,
As you can see from our photographs the newly elected
school council have been out visiting the Mayor of Brent,
Lesley Jones MBE. They were invited into the Mayor’s
Parlour for refreshments followed by a question and
answer session; she was impressed with their thoughtful
questions and knowledge of the democratic process.
In one picture the children are holding the register for
births in Brent, open at the page where my birth is
recorded: I was born in Brent in 1967, just over a mile
from Ark Franklin.
Remember to ask your child about their legacy sentence,
here is one from a school councillor: ‘He was a world
famous cosmologist who discovered many secrets of our
universe.’
Have a good weekend, enjoy the sunshine, and we look
forward to seeing you from 8.30am on Monday.
Warmest regards
Janine Ryan
We took the opportunity to visit the children’s section of the
library while at Brent Civic Centre.
Headteacher’s thought for the week
