This week we were fortunate to welcome to school Muhunthiny (Tinni) Sivasothy, a remarkable Hindu woman with an incredible passion for sharing her culture, beliefs, and values with others. During a special whole school assembly, she spoke about the key elements of Hinduism: about its rich history, its colourful festivals, and the deep spiritual traditions that are part of daily life for millions of Hindus around the world. Following the assembly, years 4-6 took part in a workshop designed to give students a deeper understanding of Hinduism. Tinni emailed to say that she had thoroughly enjoyed visiting the school saying ‘all the students focused well, were enthusiastic to learn about Hinduism, were well behaved, and respectful.’ We were delighted to see how the children reflected on what they had learned, asking thoughtful questions and sharing their thoughts on the experience.

As the PSHE and Ethics Lead, I’ve often found it challenging to source workshops that are both relevant and engaging for our students. However, Chaz and Saranjit delivered an outstanding Sikh Experience workshop for our KS3 cohort — it was absolutely amazing! The session was informative, interactive, and truly eye-opening. Our students were completely enthralled throughout. Thank you for such a valuable opportunity — we’ll definitely be booking again!
