W hat made the open
evening at Eleanor Smith special was
the same thing that makes it a special school:
its staff and pupils.
Upon entering, guests were greeted by the soft tones of a piano being
played by one of the pupils at Eleanor Smith. Meanwhile, other
pupils, demonstrating exemplary manners, handed out refreshments.
The focus of the evening was the
Resilience Framework and The Thrive Approach. Eleanor Smith is
doing ground-breaking work on both. Staff were invited to an
International Conference in Canada
to present their work on Whole School Resilience and Eleanor Smith
will be the first Centre for Thrive in London.
As Head teacher Graham Smith
said: “We are ambitious for all our
students who deserve the best.”
Eleanor Smith has been implementing
a Resilience Framework over the past few years in collaboration with
Brighton University. Resilience uses
methods which support and develop children with complex needs by
instilling a sense of belonging in students, supporting learning,
helping students to cope with social and emotional difficulties and teaching
students to take responsibility.
The Thrive Approach encourages the regulation and promotion of
positive relationships at the School and measures pupil behaviour in
line with child development. Details
are available here, however, the
best showcase for The Thrive Approach is evidenced at Eleanor
Smith.
Guests perused the work of pupils
at the school and spoke to staff, parents and pupils alike about how
the school operates. When asked
about what it was like being a pupil at Eleanor Smith, one boy
responded: “I get to do activities and learning that I don’t get to do
at normal school”.
The Thrive and Resilience Approaches are
extensive, multi-disciplinary and fully-integrated into school life. This
has certainly been the case at Eleanor Smith and over the course
of the evening four staff members
explained the implementation of Resilience and Thrive.
Statistics of performance at Eleanor
Smith show that the school’s approach is achieving results: last
year, of the 37 pupils at Eleanor Smith, 29 increased their attendance
in mainstream schools, which corresponds to 78%.
The highlight of the presentation
was the account from a former Eleanor Smith pupil and his mother
about the impact that attending this school has had on them both. He
has gone on to do four work
experience placements and is currently continuing studying at
college. He said: “What makes it even more special is the staff. They
care about us”.
His mother told her story candidly and, indicating her son, said good-
humouredly: “You wouldn’t say this child went to Eleanor Smith.” Such
is the stigma attached to this and similar schools. However, with the
success of Eleanor Smith’s approach,
spearheaded by Resilience and Thrive, more families will start
saying with pride: “This child went to Eleanor Smith.” And so they
should.

How would you teach your
pupi ls about Columban missionary fathers in Pakistan?
In the RE Department at St Bonaventure’s the answer was to
speak with them directly.
School Chaplain, Jess Barnett, arranged the school’s first Skype
live link chat which she hopes: "Will be the first of many exciting
learning conversations across the
world".
Despite a power cut, Year 10 students got to hear about the work
the missionary fathers are doing in the predominantly Muslim nation
and gained a unique insight into
environmental issues thousands of miles away. The fathers chatted
about the variety of their work, the families they work with and their
experiences.
Distance has no place in the RE classroom at St Bonaventure’s.
The Skype’s the limit
Eastlea were early testers of
the micro:bit, a collaborative project from Microsoft, the BBC
and 27 other partners that introduces young people to the
world of programming.
Eastlea pupils took the pocket-sized computers for a test run, under the
watchful eyes of Lord Tony Hall of the BBC and Microsoft CEO Satya
Nadella.
Eastlea is a Lead School in
Computing At School and teacher
Stephen Richards is a Master Teacher. It was through this
connection that the school was loaned the micro:bits and during
lessons and lunch time clubs, every
Year 7 at the school had the chance to see what they could do.
The BBC call the micro:bit its most ambitious education initiative in 30
years. It aims to inspire digital creativity and develop a new generation of tech
pioneers.
The micro:bit is a codeable computer
with motion detection, a built-in compass and Bluetooth technology.
It is completely customisable and
can be programmed to interact with any number of devices through a
combination of simple coding and software. The micro:bits will eventually
be given for free to all Year 7 pupils in the UK.
After testing, a group from Eastlea
were invited to the annual Future Decoded Microsoft conference,
attended by international tech business leaders. The Eastlea group
helped run the Microsoft education
stand and gave demonstrations of
micro:bit programming.
Stephen gave a talk at the conference,
giving an introduction to the micro:bit. He also spoke about the
DFE’s recent decision to cut GCSE and A level ICT from 2018, replacing it
with GCSE Computing only. Stephen
said: “initiatives like the micro:bit are excellent examples of the kind
of partnership that needs to exist between business and education if
computing at schools is going to
succeed”.

NEWSLETTER The Voice of the Docklands Light Railway
Tired of “mind the gap” and
“stand clear of the closing doors”? Ever thought that you
could do better? Year 6 pupil Tyler Nurthen did.
Back in January, Tyler and thirteen
fellow pupils at Ranelagh Primary School entered a competition
launched by the Docklands Light Railway School Project to design a
s a f e t y a n n o u n ce m e n t f o r passengers travelling on the DLR.
Primary school children across
London were invited to record or write an interesting and informative
message that would brighten the passengers' day and improve their
journey. These could include
information about the network, travel safety and reminders about
taking care of possessions.
The pupils researched the railway,
listened to the announcements currently used on the station
platforms and trial led their
messages in the classroom.
Tyler’s entry was selected by
Inspector Shaw from the British Transport Police and the team of
DLR employees as one of the three
winning entrants named the ‘Voice of Docklands Light Railway’.
So on the 2nd July if you were at Gallions Reach Station or at West
Ham Station during the Autumn you
may have been surprised to hear Tyler’s message from the speakers:
"Hello Governor, if you are silly enough to leave your luggage on
the train you will need to talk to the Dockland staff. Stand behind the
yellow line for your safety."
Lucy Sabia, DLR Community Ambassador, who introduced the
competition to the London primary schools and met the winning
children at the Control Centre said:
"Tyler's warmth and enthusiasm
captivated the hearts of everyone involved in this project. He was the
guest of honour at the recent Newham Mayor's Show where his
presence was warmly greeted by
all. It was a pleasure for KeolisAmey Docklands to work with
Tyler, recording his safety announcement, and we hope he
enjoyed hearing it at the stations.
Well done Tyler."
The three winners visited the DLR
Control Centre at Beckton. Where they were treated to a tour, spoke
with the DLR staff and recorded their announcements on to a
scratch pad, from which they were
broadcast that same day.
Tyler has also been made the West
Ham Station Adoptee, under the Community Adopt a Station
Scheme, and on 3rd December
2015, accompanied by his Grandmother and Susan Green,
Learning Mentor, at Ranelagh
Primary School, will attend a Community Presentation Night at
the Radisson Blu Hotel.
Sue Green said: "I am sure that Tyler's humorous announcement
brightened the day of all of the
passengers travelling on the Docklands Light Railway. West Ham
is the nearest DLR station to Ranelagh Primary School and
Tyler's family, friends, the staff and
pupils, at Ranelagh are all proud of Tyler's success."
