We are delighted to announce that Pinner Park Primary School has been awarded the prestigious Healthy Schools London Silver Award! This recognition celebrates our school’s commitment to improving the health and well-being of our pupils through targeted initiatives and a whole-school approach.

Our ongoing health priorities will focus on two key areas: oral health for our Early Years and Key Stage 1 pupils, and physical activity for Key Stage 2. These priorities were identified following a thorough needs analysis and feedback from pupils, parents, and staff.
​
Our efforts have already led to positive changes in pupil attitudes and behaviours, and we are committed to sustaining these improvements throughout the year.

Our continuing focus will include initiatives such as:

• Hosting workshops to promote better dental hygiene. 
• Encouraging increased participation in physical activity through playground enhancements, structured playtimes, and after-school clubs
• Increasing regular activities to encourage physical activity for all pupils.

Thank you goes to Miss Draghici, who coordinated this project and prepared our school for the award assessment. 
​
We look forward to continuing our journey towards even greater achievements in health and well-being!
Stay tuned for updates as we work towards the Gold Award. Together, we can make a difference!

This week, our talented Year 1 children transported us to another world with their incredible performances of Christmas with the Aliens, a delightful Christmas musical. Over two days, the children took to the stage to share the heart-warming tale of aliens discovering the true meaning of Christmas.

With catchy songs, lively dances, and brilliant acting, the children captivated audiences of parents, carers, and staff alike. Every child played their part with enthusiasm and confidence, bringing the story to life and making it a truly memorable experience for all who watched.

We want to say a huge thank you to the Year 1 staff team for their hard work in preparing the children for such a polished performance. Thank you also to the parents for your support in providing costumes and helping the children learn their lines and songs—it all contributed to the success of the production.

Finally, a massive well done to our amazing Year 1 stars! You made us so proud with your creativity, teamwork, and joy. Your performances reminded us all of the magic of Christmas.

Our Year 5 and 6 pupils participated in a unique and engaging theatre event delivered by The Riot Act as part of Road Safety Week. The interactive sessions used live drama and multimedia to recreate a road traffic accident scene, encouraging students to investigate what happened and who was responsible.

The project taught essential road safety skills, such as:

• The dangers of distractions like phones and music.
• The importance of using crossings correctly.
• The emotional and physical consequences of poor road safety.

Through this immersive experience, pupils explored how to stay safe and make wise decisions as they begin to travel more independently. It was a memorable learning opportunity, and the students thoroughly enjoyed the chance to be detectives for the day!

The Year 1 children at Pinner Park Primary School recently embarked on an exciting adventure as part of their unit on transport. The trip began with a walk to North Harrow Station, where the children took the underground train to Rickmansworth. From there, they continued their journey on foot to Batchworth Lock, home of the Rickmansworth Waterways Trust.

At the lock, the children enjoyed a hands-on learning experience, including a trip on a canal boat, offering them a unique perspective on the waterways and their history. The visit was both educational and enjoyable, providing insights into transport methods past and present.
​
After their time at the lock, the children retraced their steps, completing the return journey by underground train and walking back to school. It was an unforgettable experience, filled with discovery and adventure!

This week, as part of their geography unit on the local area, our Year 1 children took part in a fun and fascinating walk around the locality. The experience was designed to deepen their understanding of the community around them while teaching essential life skills.

Before setting off, the children were carefully briefed on safety, including the importance of staying together and being mindful of their surroundings. A highlight of the walk was learning how to cross the road safely using a zebra crossing. Each child had the chance to observe, practise, and discuss the importance of road safety—a valuable lesson for their day-to-day lives.

The walk also took the children through Headstone Manor Park, where they explored safe pathways and discovered some of the natural beauty within walking distance of the school. Along the way, they learned how to follow maps, gaining practical skills in navigation while identifying key landmarks and discussing their significance.

This enriching outing combined hands-on learning with real-world applications, helping the children understand more about the geography of their local area. It also provided an excellent opportunity to connect classroom knowledge with their everyday surroundings.

We’re proud of how engaged and enthusiastic the children were throughout the walk, and we look forward to seeing how these experiences shape their learning and understanding of the world around them.

Eight pupils from Years 5 and 6 have embarked on an exciting project to improve air quality awareness and promote active travel within our school community. 

The workshops were designed to inspire our students and equip them with the knowledge and skills to make a positive impact. Led by experts, the sessions explored:

• Understanding Air Pollution: Pupils learned about air quality, its effects on health, and the historical context of air pollution in London. Activities included measuring heart rates during exercise to connect physical activity to health benefits.
• Creating an Active Travel Map: Pupils investigated particulate matter around the school and used mapping tools to design a bespoke active travel map highlighting realistic walk and cycle zones. This resource will support our school community in adopting more sustainable travel habits.
• Promoting Their Findings: The children planned a compelling assembly to share their learnings with peers and staff. They presented the health benefits of active travel and unveiled the new map to inspire the whole school to make healthier, greener choices.

As a result of this project, Pinner Park Primary School will receive a professionally designed active travel map and leaflet, as well as a vinyl banner for display. 

A huge well done to our Year 5 and 6 pupils for their enthusiasm and leadership throughout this initiative. This project demonstrates the power of young people in driving positive change for the environment and their community. We look forward to seeing their hard work make a lasting impact.

​Stay tuned for the release of our new active travel map and updates on our journey towards a greener future!

Flu can be very unpleasant for children and can sometimes cause serious problems, such as pneumonia. Children can catch and spread flu easily. Vaccinating them also helps protect others who are at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu, such as babies and older people.

The School Immunisation team will be coming into Pinner Park to deliver the flu vaccine on 11 November and 5 December.

The team will need your consent to give the vaccine and we ask that every parent completes the consent form at the following link:

https://nwl.schoolvaccination.uk/flu/2024/harrow  

Please complete the form as soon as possible.  The portal will close 48 hours before the Flu session. 

You can consent for either the Flu nasal spray or the non-gelatine IM Flu vaccine. 

Please note that children cannot receive this vaccination with their GP unless they are clinically vulnerable.

Further information about the vaccine can be found in the leaflet below and in the various links on the consent form.
