DLD College joins in with UK’s largest autumn beach and river clean up


DLD College London has hosted a litter picking event in Lower Mash and Waterloo Millennium Park, with students from a variety of nationalities volunteering in the clean up. The event was also supported by the London’s Royal Docks Learning & Activity Centre who provided part of the equipment for the philanthropic initiative. The team from the College participated in the inspiring event launched by


Surfers Against Sewages, its biggest Autumn Beach and River Clean with 15,000 volunteers cleaning more than 400 beaches and 60rivers across the UK, including riverside green areas & riverside neighbourhoods in London, tackling plastic pollution before it reaches our coastlines. Showcasing its commitment to helping improve the lives of all those that


share the same community space as the Westminster Bridge-based college, this year the student council formed a Community Projects group which is led by a duo of Year 13 Students (Cody and Sofia), and supported by Gareth Evans (DLD Director of Studies). The clean up was the inaugural event for this group with lots more exciting plans for the year to be announced in due course. DLD Director of Studies, Gareth Evans commented, “We are immensely


proud of our students for participating in this worthy campaign, their tireless efforts were greatly appreciated and it was delightful to hear members of the public congratulating them for their support to the community. “We believe that by providing our students with the opportunities to


spend valued time interacting with the community, they are able to take ownership of their responsibilities and enhance their personal development, leadership abilities and awareness of diversity.”

NSPCC's 'Speak Out. Stay Safe' programme reaches 20,000 schools


An NSPCC programme that teaches children how to keep themselves safe from abuse has reached 20,000 primary schools across the UK. Widney Junior School in


Solihull became the 20,000th school to be visited by the charity’s ‘Speak Out. Stay Safe’ service. ‘Speak Out. Stay Safe’ consists of an assembly


presentation for children aged five to 11, and a one-hour classroom workshop for children in years five and six. With the help of NSPCC mascot Buddy, the interactive assemblies and


workshops help children recognise the different types of abuse, and understand how to protect themselves. They also learn where they can turn for help – including the NSPCC-run


service Childline. It comes as latest figures reveal 2,494 child sex offences were recorded by


West Midlands Police last year, and nearly 65,000 across England and Wales. In the 2017/18 school year, more than 25,000 pupils at 82 schools in


Birmingham and Solihull were reached by ‘Speak Out. Stay Safe’. NSPCC Schools Service Area Co-ordinator for Birmingham, Tracey Hulston,


said: “’Speak Out. Stay Safe’ is spreading an important message in a lively, interactive and memorable way, while also helping children feel empowered to talk to a trusted adult or Childline. “We are delighted to have reached so many children across the UK, but


we will keep visiting schools every week to ensure this vital service helps to protect a generation of pupils from abuse.” Widney Junior School Deputy Headteacher, Marie Kitching, said: “Not only


have our pupils really enjoyed today’s assembly, they have learned so much, and it is clear that it has made a lasting impression on them. “Educating children about the risks of abuse, and how to keep themselves


safe, is a crucial part of their development - and ‘Speak Out. Stay Safe’ does this brilliantly.”

Kew Gardens launches Endeavour: a pioneering online resource available to all UK schools


The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew has launched a brand new, free digital learning platform for primary and secondary education funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the £15.6m grant towards the Temperate House Project. Bringing world-leading plant science and horticulture to the classroom, Endeavour offers teachers and pupils opportunities to gain a greater understanding of plants and fungi and to explore the pressing environmental issues facing the planet. Endeavour has been written by teachers, for


teachers, and is an interactive platform that can be used to deliver Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 curricula. Based on in-depth research, the platform supports the communication of plant science and facilitates the ongoing formative assessment and measurement of pupils’ learning.


December 2018 Engaging challenges encourage critical thinking


about topics related to plants, science and the environment, and include everything needed to deliver a dynamic, pupil-led session. Showcasing the application of science in real life, content has been expertly curated to build pupils’ STEM knowledge and Science Capital. Through peer and self-assessment, Endeavour supports pupils to cultivate transferable life skills while also illuminating career pathways. Julia Willison, Head of Learning and


Participation at Kew, said: “For over 20 years, schools have been visiting the Gardens to enjoy hands-on inquiry-based sessions that are linked to the national curriculum and to Kew's science. Through Endeavour we can share our resources and expertise with teachers and pupils throughout the UK; helping to inspire young
