Curriculum Drop Down Day Monday 10th December 2018

On Monday 10th December 2018 we are having a Curriculum Drop-Down Day.  This means that as well as having some of their normal lessons students between Years 7-11 will also be having some special sessions on some different topics.  Students will have 2 normal lessons and 3 special sessions on the day.  The overall theme for the day is ‘Respect’ and the sessions will cover topics such as E-Safety, Respecting the Environment, Respecting each other and Respecting the Law.  There will also be opportunities for some student to look at vocational skills. 

The school day timings will be as normal and students should attend in full uniform as normal.  They should also go to their normal classrooms for the sessions unless told otherwise.

Bishop Stopford’s School will be supporting the North Enfield Foodbank this December

Dear staff and students, 

I am happy to inform you that Bishop Stopford’s School will be supporting the North Enfield Foodbank this December.

Every day people in the UK go hungry for many reasons, but just a small box of food can make a big difference. 

Foodbanks provide emergency food to people in crisis and their need is increasingly important during the winter period. North Enfield Foodbank is part of The Trussell Trust’s network of foodbanks that work to tackle food poverty and hunger across the UK.

Bishop Stopford’s School has arranged to donate to North Enfield Foodbank on the 14th December. 

It would be appreciated if you could donate non-perishable food items from the list below.

These are the dates in which the foodbank will collect donations from the school this winter:

Tuesday 4th December 2018
Thursday 6th December 2018
Monday 10th December 2018
Wednesday 12th December 2018
Friday 14th December 2018

Donation boxes will be held in the reception area and brought to the green space by Year 10 volunteers and Year 7 form captains. One to two pupils will be responsible for each form in taking their form’s donations to reception during form time on the allocated days.
