A class name might seem like a small thing. But when children choose it together, it becomes something much bigger.

During their first week of school, every Primary class creates its own name. Children share ideas, explain why they believe their suggestion captures who they are as a group, and then vote democratically to make the final choice.

Each class then presents its chosen name, and the meaning behind it, to the rest of the school.

It is a simple tradition, but one that begins the year with something deeply important: a shared identity and a close-knit sense of belonging. It tells every child that this is their community, their voice matters and they have a genuine part to play in shaping it.

Identity, belonging, democracy and agency - all wrapped up in a class name.

Choosing a school is about more than choosing where your child will learn. It is also about choosing the community your family will become part of.

In the second week of term, our whole school comes together for an evening of pizza, conversation and time spent getting to know one another beyond the school day.

Children reconnect and new friendships begin. Parents meet the families their children will grow alongside. Teachers and families have time to talk without the usual rush of drop-off and pick-up.

These shared moments help turn a school into a genuine community - one in which children
and families feel known, connected and that they truly belong.

LWS is not just a school. It is a way of life.

It's been a brilliant first week for our newest secondary students. In art with Hannah, they got creative making keyrings and designing the front pages of their sketchbooks, ready for the year ahead. ⁠

Over in maths with Lorenzo, they explored the logic behind the game Dobble, then put their thinking into practice by working in teams to design their very own versions! ⁠

Such a fantastic start, full of creativity, collaboration and curiosity already. Here's to a brilliant year ahead, Year 7 💪🎨🔢

There are a hundred firsts in the first week of Reception.
The first time they walk through the gate without you.
The first new friend.
The first Morning Meeting.
The first time they find their own peg, write their name at school, share something with someone they’ve only just met, or put their hand up to speak.

The first story read together.
The first PE lesson with the bigger children.
The first time this unfamiliar place starts to feel a little bit like their school.

And, somewhere amongst all those tiny firsts, something rather lovely begins to happen.

They start to belong.

This week, our newest children have explored, played, read, written, laughed, made friends and begun finding their feet in their new school community.

They’ve even made one very important decision together: what their class should be called.

So, say hello to our new Reception class… The Hedgehogs. 🦔

One week down. A hundred firsts already. And so very many still to come. 💚

Maths in action. Creativity in practice.

During the summer term, our Secondary students explored how mathematical thinking can help us understand and solve real-world challenges.

Year 8 and 9 investigated linear relationships, using mathematics to better understand the challenges involved in feeding a growing planet.

Meanwhile, Year 7 combined their learning in Maths and Art through an interdisciplinary unit, exploring how geometric features can be used to create different effects before collaborating to produce a shared piece of artwork.

A brilliant example of how learning across subjects helps students make meaningful connections and see the world from different perspectives.

Independence is not a personality trait. It is a skill that must be practised.

At Liberty Woodland School, we build this skill intentionally.

Every Friday, secondary students begin the day with an online pastoral check-in. After that, they spend three hours managing their own learning through flipped study from home.

They decide how to organise their time.
They prioritise their subjects.
They manage distractions and take responsibility for their work.

This develops one of the key IB MYP Approaches to Learning: the ability to be an independent learner.

Week by week, students learn how to organise themselves, sustain focus and take ownership of their learning.

Because knowing what to learn matters.

But knowing how to learn matters even more.
