We hosted the RBG Great Debate, as the current champions of the last two years! There were five schools competing, TJRS, Thomas Tallis, Eltham Hill, St. Mary Magdeline, Woolwich Poly Boys. Sherrington Primary School's debate club also came to be in the audience. Our previous winner in Y10, was on the judging panel. Our team of two Y8 students and one Y9 student, did amazingly well. There was a display of professionalism, eloquence and confidence in their debate. The other schools were equally as good, meaning it took the judges over twenty-five minutes to choose a winner! Eltham Hill were the worthy winners on this occasion, with two of our students getting a special mention for asking the most insightful floor questions. The event was a huge success and all of the students from our school, both competitors and audience members represented our school to the highest standard

Year 13 Prom was amazing! Thank you to everyone involved

inspiring Young Readers: GLL Literary Launch This week, I attended the GLL Literary Launch on behalf of TJRS. The GLL Literary Launch was a fantastic event celebrating local authors and the importance of reading, especially for children during the summer holidays, when reading habits can sometimes dip. The Mayor of Greenwich spoke passionately about supporting young readers and the key role libraries play in our communities. Several local authors supported by GLL also shared their experiences, and we hope to welcome some of them into school in the future to inspire and engage our students. The event also provided lots of useful information about this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, a brilliant initiative designed to keep children reading over the summer break. We’ll be sharing these details with students via assemblies and printed leaflets to encourage as many children as possible to take part. Reading regularly during the holidays can make a big difference to children’s confidence, creativity, and learning – and this event was a great reminder of the power of books in young lives.
