  • The GLC Primary Careers Week

    Published 23/02/26

    The GLC Primary Careers Week was a truly inspiring week of aspiration, and we were overwhelmed by the incredible number of volunteers who gave their time to share their experiences with our pupils. Our head pupils worked hard to find out which volunteers the pupils were most interested in meeting and promoted the event in assembly to their peers. The children were a credit to their schools – they listened attentively, engaged fully with the visitors, and asked thoughtful, curious questions, showing real enthusiasm for learning about different careers and pathways for the future.

  • Year 3 Nutcracker Workshop

    Published 23/02/26

    The GLC Year 3 pupils stepped into the spotlight during Autumn 2 during a fantastic Nutcracker workshop with the Royal Ballet and Opera! The children took a virtual journey through the history of the company—from Covent Garden to our local community in Thurrock—and discovered the many 'behind-the-scenes' roles that bring a production to life. Highlights included dancing with professional performers and getting an up-close look at real costumes and pointe shoes. These first-hand experiences and performance clips provided wonderful inspiration for the children's writing projects.
