If you are a subscriber to our Curriculum Blogs you will already be aware that we launched "Amplify"
The goal of ‘Amplify’ is to support creative activities that promote critical reflection and honest conversation within school communities, enabling all members (whatever their age) to engage with issues that matter to them. The project aims to find stories, resources and ideas and amplify them to a wider audience.
Amplify will empower ALL student voices using LGfL’s award-winning range of digital tools and enable them to be heard by a global audience.

Polar Exploration - Antarctic Quest21
The Quest21 Team are having a successful expedition in Antarctica. As part of the trip, a ceremony has taken place in memory of Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famous Antarctic explorer who died 100 years ago on 5 January 1922 during his final mission to the region.
