Joseph Coelho Visits APA

Ark Putney Academy was privileged to host the Children Laureate Joseph Coelho’s visit to Wandsworth.  Joseph grew up on the Roehampton estate and came to APA when it was the Elliott school so to have someone come back that has achieved so much is very inspiring.  Joseph did a great assembly for our students and then toured the school which looks a lot different now we have been refurbished.  We were then joined by around 400 year 4 students from across Wandsworth primaries who came to have a workshop with Joseph.  The day was a great success and has hopefully inspired some to be the next generation of laureates.
