During lockdown our School has been working in collaboration with Shaftesbury Scrub Hub. We have been busy pattern drafting, cutting, sewing, altering, packaging and delivering PPE to our local community.
Since the hub launched at the end of April, our voluntary community sewing group has had over 50 volunteers sewing from home. We have almost fulfilled our requests for masks, scrubs, gowns and laundry bags and these have been so gratefully recieved by our local surgery, hospital, carehomes and dentist.
I am proud to have been a part of the hub and I am humbled by the kindness of our incredible volunteers. Each and every item has been lovingly made with care and wrapped with individual messages of hope and support sent to our health and care workers. Thank you to staff, parents and our local community for being absolutely amazing!

Pride Month is a movement that celebrates diversit

Pride Month is a movement that celebrates diversity. For lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity, equal rights, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. #lgbtq🌈 #lgbt #pridemonth

An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration Every year, durin

An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration
Every year, during the month of June, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place, way back in 1969.

As well as being a month long celebration, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community. Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month, and there are many street parties, community events, poetry readings, public speaking, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants.

Sustainability and diversity lies at the heart of

Sustainability and diversity lies at the heart of our STEAM program at Shaftesbury School. Today we recognise two amazing projects.
Small change, big difference is a 2 year collaboration working to raise awareness of issues that threaten our environment locally and globally. The team have designed recycle bins to help reduce litter, built a statue from fishing nets to raise awareness of ocean plastics and planted trees on the school field to offset carbon emissions. Little windows to the world is a project that connects young people through the power of technology. The team have tackled some of sciences big questions and discussed these in real time in conjunction with Spanish speaking schools across the globe. #stem #dorsetlife #bigbangstem #satcoms #airbus

STEAM in the community is an amazing project. The team worked with primary school students and Year 7’s at Shaftesbury School using VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) to bring learning to life. #futureclassroom #bigbangdorset #stemeducation #bbceducation #dorsetschools

STEAM throwback to the amazing ‘nature vs the machine’ project. This project led by Mr Collis focused on future food solutions through aqua and hydroponics. Prior to lockdown, students were investigating how to grow food using hydroponics (water and nutrient solution) and aquaponics (using fish waste to grow food). The project has been a success initially with salad leaves and herbs grown but there is still much to be done, including connecting a RASPBERRY-Pi to monitor ph levels, water flow, light and temperature. #bigbangdorset #stemeducation #dorsetschools #stemgirls

Today is the deadline for STEAM 2020-21 applications. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths. This week we will celebrate the amazing work from last year showcasing all 5 projects. The digital light board team designed a glass and Perspex light board. Teachers write on the glass and the image is flipped in post-production. The team edit all the videos and post via YouTube. The project led by Mr Gray was so successful it made the National Big Bang competition which was due to be held at the NEC in March. Sadly, it didn’t go ahead but well done to Josie, Kajal, Leo, Tilly, Tom and Laurence. #stemeducation #bigbangdorset #atlaselektronik #satcoms #lightboard
