Teaching & learning for the 21st century
As part of their current Humanities topic, 'Anglo-Saxons and Vikings', Year 4 pupils spent a fascinating day at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich to enrich their learning.
We are incredibly proud of the success of every pupil in our hard-working Year 6 class who continue West Lodge School’s excellent record of academic success, particularly as West Lodge is a non-selective school at entry.
100% of our Year 6 cohort sat either one or both of the Kent and Bexley tests. 77% of the children achieved grammar status in at least one of the tests and 74% of pupils were deemed selective in both the Kent and Bexley tests. 67% of those who sat the Bexley Test were assessed as selective and 85% in Kent, with two pupils scoring sufficiently highly to be placed in the Top 180 of the Bexley Test.
Year 3 travelled back to the Stone Age and enjoyed a full day of workshops learning about early trading, beliefs, using stone to grind grain, cave painting, hunting and farming and how weapons were made thanks to our amazing opposable thumbs and well-developed brains.

Year 5 attended a variety of workshops at the Science Museum in order to develop their learning of their current Science topic, 'Earth and Space'.
Year 2 enjoyed visiting the Florence Nightingale Museum in London. They have enjoyed learning about Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole this half term, looking at how they both improved nursing.
Year 6 enjoyed an informative visit to the Houses of Parliament. They had the opportunity to view the House of Lords and House of Commons and learn about democracy, the UK government and how laws are made.
Congratulations to Chef Paul and our Catering Team who have been selected as the Holroyd Howe Team of the Year for South East England.
The EYFS event was held on our new multi-purpose all weather sports pitch and older students enjoyed competing on the grass track which provided the opportunity for them to run a mini marathon.
