She wa5 found murdered in her flat in Hammer5mith on 22nd May 1997. Katerina loved math5 - I believe it wa5 her favourite 5ubject. She 5tood out in the c/a55 and in the lower 5chool; 5he had more math5 merit5 than any other pupil and her work de5erved them. SMILE allowed her to work at a rapid pace and to extend her5elf with new idea5 - 5he loved it. She wa5 quick to learn and her work a delight to mark. I could give her the full range of material a5 any equipment would be well taken care of at home and bought back the next day. Now other pupi/5 when 5et Pentagon Triangle5 or Soma 5olid5 or 50 many other card5 5ay "Katerina did thi5". She marked her5elf out from the beginning of the year by getting the general rule for "Hand5hake5" before mo5t of the other5 knew what wa5 going on. She recently did 0740 without any help from me. Katerina had everything in front of her, a love for learning and the determination to 5ucceed - I don't under5tand why it wa5 all taken away. I am glad to have known her and to have taught her. I want to pay tribute to her through SMILE a5 it gave her such plea5ure and a sense of achievement. Su5an Steward Holland Park School Page2 Goodbye Helen ... Hello Pat After 8 years as SMILE's Co-ordinator Helen Wright is leaving the SMILE team to take up the post of Head of Mathematics at Swanlea School. Many many thanks to Helen for all her hard work and commitment in guiding SMILE through the many changes of the last 8 years. And all the very best of luck at Swanlea. We are very pleased to welcome Pat Cajee as the new Co-ordinator. Pat will be joining the SMILE team in either November or January from Graveney School in Wandsworth.

Becoming part of a SMILE curriculum development group • entitles your school to a discount of 10% on SMILE materials, • enables you to develop your writing skills • allows your mathematics department to participate in deciding which new activities should go on the SMILE Network If you would like to anend either of these curriculum development groups please return the form from the last edition of Splash to the SMILE Centre as soon as possible. Page4 Network Changes Suggested changes for the September 1998 Network As mentioned in June's Splash, National Curriculum Planning felt that the unlevelled flow was under used, and that many activities within it would be more widely used if they were referenced within the main body of the Network.

Dear Splash In the June SPLASH, I noticed that the mental mathematics activities which I published through the Learning Resources Branch (LRB), have been deleted from the network.

Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.

    Making the school “the best place to learn in, the best place to work in St Paul’s Way and the best place to partner Education Foundation Trust with”... SPWT is part of the University Schools Trust NEWSLETTER Monthly News Updates | November 2019 | www.spwt.net | @StPaulsWayTrust Executive Headteacher’s Message Dear Parents/Carers, This month has been another busy period for St Paul’s Way Trust School as we continue to build on the successes we had during first half term. There has been a truly exceptional range of opportunities with increasing numbers of students taking part in extra-curricular clubs, competitions and curriculum visits. Please do continue to encourage your son/daughter to participate. Away from the classroom, our Parents Evenings for Year 8 and Year 9 were really well attended and we would like to thank parents/carers for their feedback. Although the feedback was very positive, we are constantly seeking ways to improve our student experience (Future parents evening dates are on the back of this newsletter). It is also worth mentioning our sporting success for both boys and girls where we have won a number of competitions against other Tower Hamlets schools, reaching the latter stages of any ongoing tournaments. In addition, we would like to commend our students for their fundraising efforts for various good causes, highlighting the global citizens we want our student to become. Lastly, we are very fortunate to have been selected to partner with National Youth Orchestra (NYO) of Great Britain, this will mean greater opportunities for our students in Music for the foreseeable future.
