Reading is central to life at The John Roan. 📚✨ In addition to subject-specific reading in lessons, students read together during tutor time each morning. Tutors read aloud while students follow along in their own copies, using reading rulers to support focus and fluency. Students may also volunteer to read aloud, developing confidence, expression, and fluency. Sharing high-quality texts together fosters a love of reading, broadens vocabulary, and strengthens comprehension skills. Many students have already discovered favourite books this year and look forward to their daily reading time. #thejohnroanschool #howwelearn #independentreading #reading #greenwich

Careers in Law! 👩‍⚖️✨ Last half term, students from both Bacon’s College and the John Roan School were selected to take part in a legal careers project in partnership with QEB Hollis Whiteman Chambers. Over the course of four sessions, students worked closely with legal professionals who guided them through the process of preparing and delivering a full mock trial! Opportunities like this not only deepen students’ understanding of the justice system but also help them build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and explore career pathways they may not have previously considered. A huge thank you to QEB Hollis Whiteman Chambers! Students had the best time and gained valuable experience. 💙💚 #thejohnroanschool #baconscollege #careersinlaw #law #barrister
