Last Thursday we discussed the American tradition

Last Thursday we discussed the American tradition of Thanksgiving. After discussing the historical aspect of it, we often came round to discussing how thankful we are. We are thankful for our students at Shaftesbury School. This has been one of trickiest years we have all seen and we want to say thank you to our students for showing strength, resilience and kindness through it all. Thank you. #shaftesburyschool #thanksgiving #thankfulforourstudents #shaftesbury" @bhh.shaftesbury.school @shaftesburyenglish

"It’s up to all of us-Black, white, everyone - no matter how well-meaning we think we may be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it (racism) out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with
justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets" ~ Michelle Obama

Congratulations to STEAM ambassador James Pester f

Congratulations to STEAM ambassador James Pester for winning the Young Engineer of the Year Award. Here are some amazing words from the nominee... “Congratulations to James from everyone in SIG. James, you won this award because you saw the “adventure” of starting an engineering career and the relevance of your schoolwork and STEAM activities. So, you’re not an engineer yet! But, you are young, you saw a future in our business, and you struck out as soon as you saw the opportunity. James is thrilled and added “To me STEAM is much more than a subject. It is really important and is a foundation to build our future, keep our generation safe and find solutions to help keep the generations after us safe”.
