The children welcomed His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent  to our school as part of our 50th Anniversary celebrations. The Duke joined school staff and dignitaries for a light lunch asking about the curriculum and the enrichment activities that the children are able to experience.  He visited every class,  meeting staff and chatting to children about their anniversary activities. At the end of his visit the Duke, mayor of Waltham Forest and the Deputy Lieutenant for Waltham Forest joined the whole school for a special assembly.
