Teaching & learning for the 21st century
We are incredibly proud of the success of every pupil in our hard-working Year 6 class who continue West Lodge School’s excellent record of academic success, particularly as West Lodge is a non-selective school at entry. Each and every child has made fantastic individual progress.
Year 5 visited 'Today at Apple' to learn more about digital art and to practise digital techniques using Procreate.
The children enjoyed this engaging and informative workshop which formed part of their learning about John Dyer, this year’s whole school artist.
Natural links between curriculum areas are always made and explored in learning at West Lodge School; this project brought together Art, Computing and Design.
We used an app called Procreate, along with an iPad and Apple Pencil to create our designs. First, we took a photo of our partner and used the outline to create our portrait and then we added colour. We created our portraits in the style of John Dyer who is the artist we are learning about this year.

Our sincere thanks to the dragons who joined Year 6 for a morning of fantastic presentations, innovative business ideas and amazing negotiations.
Before half term, Year 5 & 6 pupils travelled to France for a week. It provided the children with the opportunity to immerse themselves in French culture and use their French language skills to navigate around towns and cities and (most importantly!) to order ice cream.
Congratulations to West Lodge pupils on their recent success in the London South Area round of the ISA Art Competition. The following pieces achieved first place:
To tie in with their current topic, Year 4 visited Leeds Castle and journeyed back to Tudor times to learn more about Henry VIII.
Year 6 had a wonderful day visiting the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
Year 3 & 4 enjoyed their two day residential at Stubbers Adventure Centre and used all of the West Lodge Learning Powers during the visit (concentration, curiosity, resilience, co-operation, and self-improvement) during the week.
Year 6 enjoyed a fascinating visit to Tate & Lyle's Thames Refinery to learn about the production process from raw material to the end consumer as part of West Lodge's commitment to STEM education.
Congratulations to Year 3 and 4 for their fantastic production of Plastic Pirates.
