We hoped into the Easter spirit with a Easter Bonnet Parade and Easter Egg hunt! Our Easter bonnet parade was bursting with colour, creativity and big smiles as children proudly showed off their fabulous designs. #ProudTraditions #EasterBonnetParade

Today, firefighters brought a spark of magic to our school as they shared essential fire safety lessons. Children climbed aboard the fire engine, discovered lifesaving tips and used the hose. #HighAchievements #Firefighters #LeytonFireFighters

Little firefighters in Reception explored the movement of flames, noticing shapes big and small. Using watercolours and pastels, they created bold, swirling fire art. #HighAchievement

From exploring different biomes through virtual reality to testing car speed in physics and diving into space, the Griffin Science Symposium celebrated a week of learning by showcasing their discoveries at the Science Museum. #GriffinScienceSymposium #ProudTraditions

This week for Griffin’s Science Symposium, we explored the human body with chalk sketches, labelled our discoveries and carefully bandaged our “patients.” #GriffinScienceSymposium #ProudTraditions

Our Year 1 scientists went wild for the Griffin Science Symposium! From handling slithering snakes and scaly lizards to observing beetles and guinea pigs, it was pure discovery. #GriffinScienceSymposium #ProudTraditions

World Book Day was full of surprises: a lively staff panto, mystery readers—Riverley Family members arriving with secret books ready to bring different worlds to life—and corridors filled with storybook characters. #WorldBookDay

World Book Day unboxing! We opened a wonderful delivery from the @NationalLiteracyTrust’s Libraries for Primaries, who donated 500 books to our school. Shelves are fuller, stories are waiting and our young readers have many new adventures to discover. #Peterlibrary

For Griffin Science Symposium, our young explorers ventured into the garden with our trusty volunteer, Steve, to tuck onion bulbs into the soil.#GriffinScienceSympoisum #Planting #ProudTraditions

Today our scientists went to Space Camp for Griffin Science Symposium. They journeyed through the stars inside the space dome by @AurigaAstronomy and discovered constellations. #GriffinScienceSymposium #SpaceDome #ProudTradition

Griffin Science Symposium has begun! Families stepped into our labs as co-scientists, testing theories, making marvellous messes and chasing those dazzling “Eureka!” moments during our Come and do Science with me morning. #GriffinScienceSymposium #ProudTraditions

Reception created a stunning flower mural and enjoyed the beautiful weather as we welcomed March and the first signs of spring in full bloom #HighAchievement #Artmural

On Founders Day, we proudly honour the history, cultures and traditions that have shaped our school community. Today, we took time to reflect on our shared values and thoughtfully recorded them on our leaves. #ProudTraditions #FoundersDay2026

National Story Telling Week in Reception. We cuddled up with My First Book of Bugs, sang the poem, and wriggled off on an earthworm adventure as our story came to life. #NationalStoryTellingWeek #WideHorizons

Join us for National Storytelling Week! We joined Annemarie Anang - author, musician and actress - for an interactive workshop, exploring the magic of storytelling through music; creating a story though sound and rhythm. #WideHorizons #NationalStoryTellingWeek

Our budding scientists stepped into the Centre of the Cell Ambassador Science session exploring what’s inside us, how our bodies work and why science is everywhere. #CentreofCells #WideHorizons

Trip trap, splash and swish! Our Reception children became bridge-building artists, painting watery worlds for the Three Billy Goats Gruff. Pastels danced, colours flowed, and imagination led the way. #TraditionalTales #HighAchievement

History Day came alive as our children became local explorers, wandering through Leyton’s past and present. They studied old photos of the school, discovered famous faces and explored special places, including Leyton Orient, uncovering stories hidden all around them. #HistoryDay
