Darell Primary & Nursery School

Absolutely incredible! Our Year 6 Young Curators were able to attend the prestigious opening of the #SpiritOfInvention exhibition at @UkNatArchives They were integral to the whole process and were great ambassadors on the night. Please visit this fantastic exhibition.

Truly epic! Yesterday, was the first concert of the newly formed Darell School rock band. Here is a clip of our lead guitarist limbering up. We would like to thank Rock Bandz for unleashing the talent that is within. Rock on!

@HAMRICHFC Two young fans brought their scarves into school today. They have yet to see a game. Is there any chance you could provide some complimentary tickets for our school and we will bring along these two and some more of the next generation of Hampton fans.

We are always looking to be outward facing at Darell School. We are delighted to be working alongside @RoehamptonUni to give Year 1 undergraduate students experience of maths lessons in school. Over 100 students will observe the excellent teaching at our school.

October you say! Year 6 residential you say! What amazing children. What amazing weather.

Right, we have fixed the motherboard and are now able to keep you updated on the happenings at the wonderful school that is Darell. To begin with, here are Year 6 overcoming some serious challenges on their residential trip. Washing up and navigating 30 metre high ropes!!

Art attack! Look at these intricate batik banners. They were designed after making some close observational drawings of plants and wild flowers.

We have an amazing staff team. Preparing our children for secondary school. Learning how to fasten a tie. Life skills!

Look at this amazing progress. Below is a sample of writing from the beginning of Year 2 and next to it a recent piece of work. Progress with letter formation, content and output. Excellent.

A Year 5 geographer hard at work. Geography, DT and Art combined to ensure that powerful knowledge is retained.

Fantastic work by our Year 2 community Club today. They worked extremely hard to completely clear the playground area of our local park. The school tag line 'Making a Difference' in action. They were supported by two Year 6 prefects. Thank you to all.

We are looking forward to welcoming former Darell pupil Jo-Anne into school tomorrow. She wil be visiting Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and will be selling her book in the main entrance after school.

Year 5 are really enjoying their class novel 'Journey to Jo'burg' by @Naidoo_J2J . Using planning from @accessart they created 3D illustrations for the chapter 'Oranges.'

What a lovely way to end the week. The community coming together for our coronation picnic. A very big thank you to the amazing staff team at Darell who made it happen. Happy children. Happy parents and carers. Happy staff. Have a great weekend all.

Watch this space! the Eco team have met and have great plans for the school. They are currently deciding on their logo and here is one of the early considerations.

This picture was taken at 6am this morning. Year 4 are just beginning to stir after a very peaceful night. It has been so lovely to see the confidence of the class grow and now they have survived a night in the wilderness. Very happy children and staff. Have a great day today.

We are so proud of our Debate Mate team. They attended the London Cup at the prestigious SOAS Uni. in Russell Square. They scored the most points of any school and made the final debate, losing against an exceptional team. Supportive, collaborative, intelligent and amazing.

Thank you to our Reception team and parents. An excellent turn out for Maths hub @NCETM Parent Project Workshop. Learning together to benefit our children.

Year 5 have been developing their fashion design skills this term. They were inspired by their class book 'A Clock of Stars,' written by @fran_gibbons. Future stars of the design world! @LCFLondon.

Picture Book Society had a brilliant last session of the term entering the imaginative world of the circus. They created some captivating clown portraits.
