Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts. 
During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride.

On Friday, 21st March 2025, Smiths Wood Primary School came together for an exciting and heart-warming fundraising event in support of Comic Relief. Staff, students, and parents all contributed to making this day a memorable one, showing their support for a good cause while also having fun. The theme of the day was "Dress as someone iconic from the last 4 decades and “Dress in red”, and it certainly brought a burst of colour and cheer to the school. In addition to the dress-up fun, the day featured a teacher-led bake sale, where delicious treats were sold by SWAG members to raise even more funds for the cause. The school community truly embraced the spirit of giving, making it a day full of joy and generosity.

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to everyone's generosity, we raised an incredible £730.80 for Comic Relief!
