Each year, one of our proud traditions is celebrating our Founders Day, when we commemorate being a member of the Griffin Schools Trust. This year, our Founders Day was especially important as we also celebrated our school being open for over 70 years.
Our Griffins explored the theme “Our Legacy : Our Identity, Our Story” through a variety of exciting activities which included exploring the environment and researching how it has changed, exploring photographs from the past and discussing the uniforms and how they have altered over time, recreating some old PE photographs, and considering what the Bramford building, uniform and curriculum will look like in another 70 years time. Our Griffins also discussed our values and discussed what makes Bramford the amazing school that it is.
We also had a visit from several past pupils and they shared with us what Bramford was like when they were young children, their teachers and their curriculum, and how the building had changed. They even told us about a huge slide that was in Reception class and how a poor young girl got her kilt pin caught as she tried to slide down and had to be rescued by the teacher!
Finally, Year 2 strengthened our links with the community and visited Broadway Halls and enjoyed working on a selection of activities with the older residents.
Happy Founders Day!
