The dignity of Work and Participation

As part of our learning about the dignity of workers, Year 4 have been exploring where our clothes come from and how the people who make them are treated. We discussed the importance of fair working conditions, fair pay, and respect for all workers around the world.

To help us understand this more deeply, we looked at the example of the clothing company SHEIN, which has been in the news for the way its clothes are made. We talked about how some workers in factories like these may not always be treated with the dignity and fairness they deserve — for example, working very long hours for little pay, or in unsafe conditions.

The Option for the Poor

Harvest Festival 2025

This week, we welcomed a representative from Lewisham Foodbank to our school. They came to collect all the generous donations we gathered for our Harvest Foodbank appeal. The children were very proud to see how much food had been collected and to know that their contributions will help families in our local community.

During the visit, the children also learned about what happens at the foodbank — how donations are sorted, packed, and distributed to people in need. They asked thoughtful questions and found out how important teamwork and kindness are in supporting others.
