Message from Chair of Governors
On the 29th of November, we welcomed The Victoria Foundation and their Trustees and Ambassadors along with an Auriga Academy Trustee and parents to the formal unveiling of the new minibus at The Russell campus.
The Official Opening of Sophia's Meadow at Strathmore@The Russell took place on 28th June 2023. Please view the making of Sophia's Meadow here:
The Strathmore School Transition Event will be an opportunity for you to talk face-to-face and get more information from various providers
The meadow is a collaborative project with Strathmore School and The Russell School and was created in 2022 as a Remembrance Garden for a beloved Strathmore School learner who sadly passed away in 2021.
Our International Evening, hosted by Friends of Strathmore School, took place on Saturday, March 4th and was a resounding success with over 160 attendees, our biggest turn-out to date!
69 out of 113 (61%) of Strathmore families completed the Autumn 22 survey which is an increase by 5 families from the previous survey in Summer 22 – thank you!

Thank you to Renata for organising for a special visit from Mijols Panxhi at Buongiorno to celebrate the wonderful work of the Strathmore School Council for 2021-22. The councillors reflected on the different jobs they had and the impact they made:
To celebrate their teamwork, the learners were allowed to choose the ice cream flavour using ALD boards and Mijols even got involved himself and was served a pot of gelato by Haydn.
Buongiorno were very generous and the learners said the ice cream was "delicious", "nice" and "my favourite". The good news is, because they are a local business, families can visit them over the summer at 149 Heath Road UNIT 2, Twickenham, London, TW1 4BH and ask Mijols to show you the Makaton for "good afternoon" that he learnt with us!

We look forward to visiting them soon.
Feeling hot, hot, hot!
Strathmore school will be incorporating lots of water play in to our week (please send in spare clothes). With so many of our learners not wanting to wear their shoes, we will support them with lightweight shoes for the playground e.g. crocs and sandals if you send them in.
We can only apply sunscreen sent in from home and with the signed form; please contact your class if you need help with this.
