  • The New Scientist Exhibition 2026-27 - Y4, 5 and 6 STEM MASt trip

    Published 21/10/26

    The New Scientist Exhibition 2026-27 - Y4, 5 and 6 STEM MASt trip

    After the success and enjoyment of this trip in previous years, we returned once more to the EXCEL to expose the children to a range of science and computing-related careers, experiments, technology and even an explosive show. 

     

    The children loved exploring all of the sections from healthcare and farming advancements to robotics. They took part in experiments measuring their responses to music, walked through a digestive system, used ultrasound equipment, performed VR brain surgery, used Playstation controllers to perform operations, extracted DNA from a strawberry, interacted with AI robots, met a dinosaur and even milked a cow!

     

    The children loved it all, remembered all sorts of facts and discovered a wide range of careers and jobs related to science. Well done to everyone that attended for their enthusiasm and curiosity!

  • School Council Community project

    Published 30/06/26

    On 12th June, the Curwen School Council undertook a wonderful community project to show appreciation for their local neighbours. School councillors stepped out into the neighbourhood to offer warm greetings, beautifully connecting with residents by using a variety of languages including Bangla (হ্যা লো / Assalamu Alaikum), Urdu (علیکم السالم / Assalamu Alaikum), Romanian (Bună), and Portuguese (Olá).


    To share their gratitude, the students thoughtfully designed thank you cards and prepared delightful small hampers filled with sweets, tea bags, and plant seeds. They then personally delivered these tokens of gratitude to homes in their local area, extending a warm, personal thank you to each neighbour. This entire endeavour was a testament to the students' strong communication skills, collaborative teamwork, and creative innovation.

  • Hatching of Chicks

    Published 08/05/26

    The wonder of life…

    For several years now, we have enjoyed the wonder of watching the live hatching of chicks. Children observed the miracle of them pecking and struggling their way out, then recovering in the incubator before rapidly developing into lively, fluffy chicks that were soon able to feed and drink for themselves. The process enriched and brought the children’s science learning of animal topics to life, where they learnt about the care of animals, growth, life cycles, diets, food chains and habitats.

  • Sweet Success for Our School Council!

    Published 28/04/26

    A huge round of applause for our hardworking School Councillors! On Friday, 24th April, they held a fantastic Bake Sale to raise money for Curwen. This entire event was their own initiative, and they worked incredibly hard—from planning the stalls to serving up treats with a smile—to make the day a success.

    We are thrilled to announce that their dedication truly paid off, as they managed to raise a grand total of £227.40! 

    We want to say a massive thank you to all the parents and carers for showing such great support.

  • A Celebration of Voices: Our Multilingual Storytime!

    Published 16/03/26

    Last Thursday, March 5th, as part of our World Book day, Curwen Primary School was filled with the wonderful sounds of different languages and cultures during our Multilingual Storytime. This special event gave children across the entire school the opportunity to choose a story and hear it brought to life by our talented staff members in a variety of languages, including Portuguese, Twi, Bengali, Mandarin, Romanian and Kweyol, to name but a few. It was a fantastic afternoon of discovery, laughter and pride. Whether children were hearing their own home language celebrated in the classroom or learning their very first words in a brand-new tongue, the engagement was truly inspiring. From interactive drumming and acting to learning about Caribbean superstitions and European folk tales, our pupils dived headfirst into the rich diversity of our school community.
    What our pupils had to say: The feedback from the children captures the magic of the afternoon perfectly:


    "The experience was super fun and interesting. I would like to learn more about languages."
    — Noor, 4DLR


    "I enjoyed hearing you read in a different language and learning my name." — Mila, 2G


    "I liked hearing the different languages and trying to work out the patterns or any words. I could read the English translation too, so I understood the story, but I really liked listening to a different language for its own sake." — Ana, 5A


    We want to say a huge thank you to all the staff who took the time to share their languages and heritage. As Miss Bryan (5CB) shared:
    "I absolutely loved sharing my language with the children who visited my class. They were engaged and very interested in the story... This makes me proud to be Dominican."


    Events like these remind us how lucky we are to belong to such a vibrant, multilingual school. We are already looking forward to our next storytelling adventure!
