Joseph Clarke School has been awarded a prestigious grant from the Royal Society for our project ‘How you can say where things are in space’ which uses a variety of technologies to let vision impaired students explore and create objects in three-dimensional virtual space.  The project is being undertaken in partnership with the ‘Knowledge Lab’ at the Institute of Education, University of London. 

Our poets were invited to perform at Walthamstow Central Library at a Celebration of Poems and Languages put on by the Waltham Forest Bilingual Groupas part of the Borough of Culture events. 

Whitefield students visited Little Hadham Primary School in Oxfordshire last week as part of a larger ‘eTwinning’ project that we are involved with that see us working with schools from France, Greece, Spain, Northern Ireland, Croatia and Portugal.

If you have a child at Whitefield Schools can pay for school lunches and other items using your phone, computer or tablet – or if you don’t have access to the Internet, you can pop into a local shop to pay.

Congratulations to all the Whitefield Schools students who have done so well this summer with their Entry Level and GCSE exams.  

It’s been another great year at Whitefield with Secondary-age students across the school making marvellous progress on their various ASDAN certification programmes. Congratulations to all the students who have worked so hard and thank you to the families and Whitefield staff who have helped them on their way.

Whitefield Academy Trust and the Lloyd Park Children’s charity have teamed up to pilot a new approach to providing support and information for families of pre-school children with special educational needs and disabilities. The new “Somewhere to Belong” invite-only sessions that  couple the fun of a playgroup with access to variety of healthcare and educational specialists who can offer help and advice.

A group of Joseph Clarke students were invited to the Bank of England Museum this term as part of the Museum’s push to look at ways of improving the accessibility of its exhibits to visitors – particularly children with visual impairments.
