Living Streets

St Alban's have been working closely with Living Streets to achieve a better walking environment in our community.

Our mission today was to get as many people to walk to school and leave their cars at home! We want to work closer with Living Streets to inspire people to walk more when they can.

Our Walk to School this morning was a huge success. Thank you to all the families that took part as we walked our new and improved Park and Stride route from Home Bargains Car Park to St Alban’s!

Thank you to Strider and Jim from Living Streets who accompanied us on our walk, all the children enjoyed the active start to the day and received a brand new badge for their efforts.

2023

October’s WOW Top Ten Challenge!

  A  fantastic start to our Autumn term!

Remember to Cycle, Scoot or Walk to school to earn badges and be part of a good active healthy lifestyle!

Black History Month

November 2023

As part of our broad and balanced curriculum, children are taught about different societies, and how different groups have contributed to the development of Britain, including the voices and experience of Black people. At St Alban's, we teach our children to be responsible, respectful and active citizens who recognise that differences are interesting and positive and we learn about many cultures, races and religions.  In our Catholic school, we teach our children that every human being is special, unique and a child of God.  Most schools teach children about Black history month in October and at St Alban's we celebrate this rich and diverse history and culture in October too but learn about the positive impact of black history throughout the year across the curriculum.  Enjoy taking a peek at what our children have enjoyed learning about recently!  We are looking forward next to our Advent Adventures in Learning when we will look deeper into the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ but also find out more about Sikhism and Buddhism as religions, places of worship, holy objects, key celebrations and compare and contrast this to Christianity.
