Children from Years 4, 5 and 6 had an action-packed Sports Day on our school pitch, filled with energy, determination and lots of cheering! Pupils took part in a range of exciting athletic events, including throwing, long jump, speed bounce and sprints – showing great sportsmanship and effort throughout the day.

What happens when you mix bouncy castles, samosas, glittery face paint, penalty shootouts, crafts, and a rat that needs catching? You get an unforgettable day at Richard Cobden! Our Culture Day and Summer Fair was a joyful celebration of fun, food and community spirit – and it couldn’t have happened without the incredible support of our Parents’ Association, families, staff and, of course, our wonderful children.

We’ve been learning to code with our school Microbits for a while, but thanks to our friends at CLC (now called AI Campus) – and a big thank you to Gillian! – we got to borrow some special Microbit Arcade kits.

These kits helped us make our own computer games! We tried them out, fixed any bugs, and then swapped games with our friends to play and share ideas.

Our Year 5 and 6 football teams enjoyed themselves at the Camden Schools Sports Association Football tournament at Coram's Fields.     

The children were treated to a special performance of Ned's Resiliency Show!

Our Year 1 children recently enjoyed a fantastic workshop with Kate Pankhurst, a bestselling children’s author and illustrator, best known for her books celebrating influential women in history.

Kate captivated the children with stories about the real-life heroes who inspire her writing. She spoke about her own ancestor, Emmeline Pankhurst, the famous Suffragette who led the campaign for women’s right to vote. The children were fascinated to learn how Kate uses her family history and passion for equality to create powerful books that make history exciting and accessible for young readers.
