Kingfisher campaign receives national recognition

We are very proud of the children as their campaign to get justice for the Windrush generation has made the news in the form of an article published by The Voice newspaper.

Earlier on the year Year 5 took part in a national radio programme all about the letter the pupils had written to the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, calling for an end to the Windrush scandal.

The author, politician, activist and historian Patrick Vernon OBE and Sinai, a journalist from the Voice and of radio station Colourful, came into the school to interview the children.

Patrick said he was really impressed with the children's eloquent statements and said he hoped that all schools were like Kingfisher, where the pupils had a voice and a passion to get positive change in the world.
