Welcome to our latest magazine which celebrates the experiences and achievements of the pupils attending our school during their admission at Great Ormond Street. You will see very quickly how many diferent curriculum opportunities are on ofer and the way our pupils and teachers work together to make the most of learning during lessons. Our whole school projects such as Film Week allow everyone to learn new skills whatever their starting points might be and in this case we saw some incredible outcomes that we celebrated at the end of last term. I am sure we have helped encourage future careers in production, sound, animation, journalists and design to name just a few!

Many people that meet us describe our School as a ‘School without walls’. With very limited space our staf manage to reach hundreds of families and pupils every year across many wards whilst also keeping them connected to their ‘home schools’ and communities across the country. We have never let space limit what we can achieve but knowing that our designs for a new School, being featured on the ground the new Children’s Cancer Centre, are well under way is incredibly exciting. New and innovative School spaces will help the school to flourish and to allow more inpatients to access learning in a variety of ways. We are really leading the way nationally in designing a bespoke Hospital School within Great Ormond Street that can meet the needs of future generations needing access to learning.

So as you can tell we are as busy as ever, we hope you enjoy sitting down and taking a moment out of your busy day to read our magazine and enjoy the wonderful work of our pupils.
