Yes I Can Challenge for Children in Need 2025
This week, our children are taking part in the Yes I Can Challenge! There are 25 exciting “I Can” tasks for them to try — with parents joining in by reminding their children of all the wonderful things they can do.
“Yes, you can share your toys… Yes, you can make your bed… Yes, you can do your homework!”
On Friday, children will bring their decorated tin can, their list of “I Cans,” and a donation for charity. Don’t forget to dress up and join in the fun!
Remembrance at Goldbeaters
Our school came together to observe our traditional minute of silence, lining up outside in a shared moment of reflection. We remembered with gratitude and respect all those who lost their lives in the First World War and in conflicts since.
Inspiring Our Girls’ Football Team
Thirty lucky girls from the Orion and Goldbeaters football teams, along with a few staff members, had the amazing opportunity to watch Arsenal take on Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.
It was an incredible experience for our students, inspiring them to see top-level women’s football in action. Events like this highlight the importance of promoting girls in sport and show that with determination, you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
Our girls left feeling motivated, proud, and ready to take their own football skills to the next level!
A Sparkling Night at The Orion!
What a fantastic evening for our school community! Over 1,800 children and families came together to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display. A huge thank you to all our staff for helping to make the night so special. It’s moments like these that show how wonderful our community is when we come together!
🎨 Celebrating Black History Through Art
we proudly celebrate Black History by learning about the incredible achievements, culture, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history. Inspired by these stories, our students have created artwork that reflects themes of strength, unity, and identity.
🌟 A Wish for a Cure – Macmillan Day 26.09.25 🌟
This week’s Do More Task was all about baking for a brilliant cause! Children were asked to bake cupcakes at home — keeping one to enjoy themselves and donating three or four for our charity bake sale.
And what an incredible response we had! WOW, WOW, WOW! Our school community came together and showed their very best for Macmillan Day. The tables were filled with delicious, creative, and colourful cakes, proving that we have many star bakers in our school.
In total, across Goldbeaters and Orion, our pupils baked and sold an amazing 8,000 cupcakes! Every single cake made a difference, helping us raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity that does so much for people affected by cancer.
Together, we really did something amazing.
A Wish for Peace
Celebrating the International Day of Peace is a long and special tradition at Orion and Goldbeaters. Each year, our schools come together to reflect on the importance of kindness, understanding, and unity in our world. This year was another beautiful event, filled with thoughtful messages, creativity, and hope for the future. More than 1,000 pupils and teachers joined together in harmony to form the word PEACE — a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we stand united.
