Today, our pupils enjoyed a wonderful surprise at school – they were visited by Santa Claus! Every child received a small gift that brought lots of joy and smiles. In addition, the children were able to take part in various fun games and activities, which they joined in with great enthusiasm.

Our pupils enjoyed a wonderful Christmas lunch together with their teachers and staff members, creating a truly festive atmosphere across the school. Children had the opportunity to try a delicious selection of traditional Christmas dishes prepared by our fantastic kitchen team.

Our Year 6 pupils took part in a special “Breakfast with Maths” session at UCS on Wednesday, 3rd December. The visit included a shared breakfast and an inspiring mentoring workshop led by UCS staff and students.

This week, our Year 6 Jacaranda and Iroko classes took part in the Junior Citizen workshop in Kentish Town. The event was part of the Junior Citizenship Scheme, supported by Transport for London, which helps children learn how to stay safe and make sensible decisions in real-life situations.

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.
