Heads Corner:
As we come to the end of the final week of the spring term, I would like to wish all students and their families a very happy, restful and peaceful Easter break. Mr Cullen’s article in this newsletter is a helpful reminder to us of the religious meaning of Easter. I’m sure many students and families will take time during this break to think of ways in which we can support and help others who are suffering. Our return to school is on Tuesday 18th April at our normal start time of 8.30am with all students expected on time and in their full school uniform. There have been several trips and events during this week, starting with the Year 7 Science Symposium in Milton Keynes, the A level Psychology conference and the Year 8 Poetry Slam – and that was just Monday! The week continued to be busy with the upgrading of our cashless catering system, a Year 10 evening trip to the theatre in Greenwich with Ms Hollingsworth and Mr Daintry, a guest speaker on Wednesday afternoon for our Sixth Form students and some Year 11s who is a CEO of a successful company, and our Coffee Morning on Thursday for parents of our new students joining us in September in Year 7. There are articles on some of these events in this edition with a few to follow in the first edition of the newsletter in the summer term. Some of you may have followed the news about changes to school funding and the difficulties that this will cause. I am enclosing a copy on the next page of the Waltham Forest Secondary Headteachers’ joint letter to you. Over the next few years, our schools are facing the worst cut in resources for decades through the redistribution of funding away from London and the freeze placed on schools’ income, despite increasing costs. These cuts have already begun to take effect across all Waltham Forest Schools. Please do write to your local MP so this matter is raised in Parliament.
I look forward to seeing you all for the summer term after an enjoyable and safe holiday.
Best wishes, Shona Ramsay Headteacher
Dear Parents and Carers,
School Funding Crisis
As you will be aware, schools across the London Borough of Waltham Forest are facing huge financial challenges and the Government’s planned National Funding Formula is set to make things far worse for the borough’s schools and its pupils.
The Government has stated that the scheme will redistribute funding across the country’s schools in a more equitable way however it is clear that this will not be the case. Already, many MPs and Councillors across the country, representing all shades of political opinion, are supporting Head Teachers and Governing Bodies in complaining of the potential damage to children’s education and opportunities. The likely outcome will be larger class sizes; a reduction in the subjects available at secondary level; less teaching time; fewer opportunities for sport and cultural activities; more difficulty in recruiting staff.
Waltham Forest Council will be making its concerns known to the government and, across London, Councils are working to raise the importance of the issue with the Government, through their MPs and through the media.
The London Borough of Waltham Forest and other London Councils have provided a response to the Government’s consultation on the National Funding Formula.
Primary and secondary Heads Teachers want parents to have a voice in this campaign and to provide their support. Therefore, you may wish to access a parent-led website: http://www.fairfundingforallschools.org, which includes guides to responding to the consultation on the National Funding Formula, model letters to MPs, journalists and other useful resources.
By adding your voice, you are agreeing to support our call to the government to re-think the NFF and to invest more funding in schools, in particular to provide an additional £335m per year (1% of the DfE’s schools budget) to ensure no school loses funding as a direct result of the implementation of the National Funding Formula.
Yours sincerely
Waltham Forest Primary and Secondary Head Teachers POETRY SLAM WINNERS!
This week, instead of ‘Poet of the Week’, we are celebrating the amazing young Poets who made the Year 8 Slam so fantastic! On Monday 27th March we heard from 19 Poets, each of whom have been working really hard on their poems with Miss Hirsch. Every single one of them was brilliant and they all brought passion, emotion and honesty to the stage.
It was really tough to decide the winners. Whilst we reminded ourselves that ‘the points are not the point, the point is the poetry’ we still had to pick people for the prizes. Mr Pillay, Ms Richards and Mr Thorbourne did the difficult job of judging and picked people that had impressed them, for their writing, their performances and their effort.
The two commendations went to Ayma Perveen for best performance and Matthieu Louise for most imaginative poem.
3rd place – Lacee Polocz 2nd place – Iqra Shahid 1st place – Lena Swara Lena performed her stunning poem beautifully and was a very well deserving winner. Here is Lena’s winning poem:
Gaming codes
By Lena Swara (Year 8) Many players have certain skills. Headphones are like the sounds favourite I wish I had a code toy, the wires are like trains of sound that showed how I feel the waves pass through me like a howling I wish I had a better poem that showed wolf in the full moon. better verses but you hear the delicateness of silence. I wish I had a better voice that said some A game is imagination better words every press is an idea. I wish I didn’t have to rhyme every time I wrote. I code what I want and see what I had imagined. I was told that all my fears would shrink but now I’m insecure and I care how I I code 24/7. My pixelated character can code. move up, down, left and right.
Words in game speeches are lethal codes I can have infinite lives. that can show the most pain from every press of a button. I could build a rocket ship and then fly it far away I would rather daringly punch myself, instead of a verbal hit and I dream about space but now they are laughing at my face saying a game is because I can put a plaster on a bruise a waste of time!
but I cannot put one on my heart. I will prove to them that it’s not just a game, it’s a dream. This glitches around the gaming system, I have my computer, laptop, iPad and every micro square of the screen phone represents a game which is pixelated with code. and I start to code until I can see a perfect masterpiece. It is diverse.

On Sunday 12th March Ms Hirsch and Ms Smith took two lucky students to the Women of the World Festival at the Southbank Centre. Ayma Perveen and Iqra Shahid, both in Year 8, were selected for the trip after they wrote exceptionally mature and passionate poems about feminism in their poetry lesson with Ms Hirsch. They had demonstrated enthusiasm for discussing equality and the teachers thought this would be a brilliant opportunity for the girls to learn from some inspirational speakers and bring their ideas back to Lammas.
Women of the World (or WOW) is a 3 day festival held at the Southbank Centre each year. There are also WOW Festivals all around the world, each one celebrating amazing women and giving people of all genders a chance to discuss equality and the problems facing women in today’s society.
On the school trip to WOW the girls began the day by listening to some famous women discuss the day’s news headlines. Comedian Jo Brand told everyone she is ‘in a permanent state of anger’ and the speakers discussed how social media seems to be running our country.
They then went to a talk for teenagers about what it is like to grow up as a girl. The talk was really informative and educational and everyone came out feeling more open and confident to talk about what it is like to go through puberty.
They finished the day with a craft session for a feminist zone and made pictures and poems for their website. The girls even read the craft leader their poems and she was extremely impressed.
The day was inspiring, informative and incredibly interesting and Ms Hirsch and Ms Smith were really proud of how brilliantly the girls represented Lammas.
Here is what the students had to say about their experience:
“We were given an amazing opportunity to experience the Women of the World Festival in which we were able to expand our knowledge of various feminists and activists fighting for the respected liberation of women worldwide. We are so grateful to have been granted this opportunity and would recommend such an experience to everybody.”
Ms Hirsch Spoken Word
On Wednesday 15th of March we were visited by Chris Collins, a horticulturist, and a representative from the ‘Know Your Onion’ programme which both Year 9 and 10 Food students are currently a part of. The programme consists of children getting involved with growing their own Fruit and Vegetables for their school which will be sold at local Markets. This programme gives us the chance to learn about gardening and become more in touch with the foods we eat on a daily basis as well as understanding more about organic farming. The first twenty minutes began with an explanation on what we are doing and hoping to achieve with planting our own products.
We were then led to the allotment and started planting the vegetables using a variety of gardening equipment. Personally the whole experience contradicted my belief that gardening was simply digging holes and adding seeds, I actually realised there was a lot more to it. Some herbs had to be grown in small pots before being transferred, whereas some vegetable seeds could be added to the soil straight away without any prior preparation. Conclusively, I would recommend this programme to anyone with a curious and open mind. It was quite an informative and enjoyable session.

Discussion of the Week:
What is the meaning of Easter?
8 out of 10 people around the world are religious, there are 2.2 billion Christians, 1.7 billion Muslims and 1.2 billion Hindus in the three largest religions. 2.2 billion people worldwide will be celebrating Easter shortly, with church services across the world. For Christians Easter is a time to remember the death and resurrection of Jesus. According to the bible Jesus was crucified, died and then three days later was brought back to life, before ascending to heaven. The story of the resurrection is a key part of belief for millions of people around the world, believing that, by following Jesus, they will be saved in the next life and go to heaven. Many people think Jesus is an inspiration for many- especially his teaching of ‘love thy neighbour’ meaning we should treat everyone with dignity and respect.
According to Christians Easter is a time to remember the sacrifice God made and to reflect on being a good person. Whether you are a Christian or not, reflecting on our actions is a vital part of being human, many of us struggle with morality and moral decisions. In Islam, followers are supposed to follow the five pillars of faith, which include prayer and zakat (giving 2.5%) of one’s earnings to charity, whilst Buddhists are required to meditate and reflect on their actions regularly and most non- religious groups often spend time reflecting on what it means to be good and human. Currently in East Africa a number of countries have been struck by drought and famine, especially South Sudan. In the coming weeks members of the Sixth Form team will be running opportunities to help the people of the region.
I hope you enjoy your break and, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh or of any faith and no faith you will take some time to think about what we can all do to be good people and to think about how we can help those suffering in East Africa.

An interview with a Glaciologist (Ex Student Niall Gandy!)
What are you doing right now in your professional/academic life?
For the past 6 month I’ve been doing a PhD at the University of Leeds. 25,000 years ago the UK was covered in a massive sheet of ice 2,000m thick, but by 15,000 years ago it had all melted. The project is using mathematical computer models just like the ones that help forecast the weather in order to work out how and why the ice sheet melted. Right now I’m spending 10 days on a research cruise in the North Atlantic, collecting data to help us learn how the ice sheet melted.
What is the favourite part of your job and why?
My favourite part of my job is finding out new things in Science. Each new piece of knowledge is tiny, but adds up to something more substantial. Universities are a great place to work because you surround yourself by people who are as passionate in a very specific topic as you are.
What are your future aspirations?
In the next year I want to publish my first research paper. This is a document to share a new piece of Science with other Scientists. Once I finish my PhD I’d like to continue to be a researcher, teaching university students, and visiting lots of icy parts of the world!
What would be your top study tip? Or top tip for the world of work?
Be interested in what you’re doing! Have a think about the broad picture about what you’re studying and what it’s used for before going into detail.
Who or what is your inspiration?
I love how easy it is to find questions that nobody knows the answer to yet, though there tends to be a reason nobody knows the answer. Working on making new knowledge keeps me motivated through the long-slog of answering new questions.
Advice to younger students:
Don’t listen to too much advice, you’ll have more fun working it out yourself.
Describe the best moment of your academic or professional career.
Standing on a glacier for the first time after studying them using blurry satellite images for a year beforehand. Far from being barren, desolate places, they are a massive icy playground, covered in little streams. This was part of a month in Svalbard in the High Arctic, where the sun never sets, and we saw whales and polar bears. It was a trip that brought all the things we’d been studying to life.
Best memory from Lammas
The first teachers’ pantomime! (If that’s not still going it needs resurrecting).
If you could invite 3 guests to dinner and you could choose anyone – dead or alive – who would you invite and why?
If it’s “dead or alive” then Schrödinger’s cat would be a safe first invite. I’d like to see what both Emmeline Pankhurst and Clement Atlee thought of the UK today.
Describe yourself in three words
I don’t know! Currently “slightly sea sick” are three words that seem pretty suitable.
Would you rather fight a lion or a shark and why?
A shark on land, or a lion in water.
