It has been a busy and exciting end of term. The school welcomed a 3-day working visit from another member of the GCA team. The time was spent working to support and reinforce our EYFS Learning area; to be on par with the International/British expectations.
Blooming Greens is insistent on guarantying the school gets the best guidance from seasoned inspectors and we are delighted to have made the link!!
Examinations are now completed, and we are preparing for the end of year programme. Term closure is on the 9th of December and we are looking forward to having parents join in the End of Term Christmas Carol festivities.
Last week, the 23rd of November, the CEO and Head teacher had the privilege of visiting the first founding charity organisation in Nigeria - The Red Cross in Yaba; which has proudly been operating for over 55 years!
The school is honoured to add this organisation to another of our charity destinations supporting the less fortunate and giving back to the community.
At this time of the year, it is especially important to share good will; and what better way than to donate to innocent children in need... The school whole heartedly acknowledges the strangulating economic squeeze is real; nonetheless, we implore parents to give generously, any items that can be spared - food, used toys and clothing would mean so very much, and are a welcome addition to the school's hamper for the Red Cross.
Join Blooming Greens School in spreading Christmas tidings and blessings to the less privileged.
Have a wonderful Christmas holiday. Wishing you Peace and Joy of the festive season.
