United Nations International Day of Peace
Foreign coins from your summer holidays and old British coins, can help vulnerable children, young people and their families. A tin is situated on our main school corridor. Ann Dewhurst, a worker, for the Peace movement, and this charity, attended our assembly on International Peace Day to collect the coins and help to plant our commemorative roses in our Peace garden, next to the labyrinth, to commemorate the day.
The roses are called “Peace”, “Love” and “Compassion”.
A new radio station devoted to Peace can be found at Peace FM 9.1

Peace to our Woodheys Community
As an accredited International School pupils are encouraged to work on the promotion and understanding of the concept of ´peace´ both locally and nationally. Our environmental work particularly helps, as most environmental problems transcend national boundaries and therefore require solutions that are mutually reinforced at global, regional, national and community levels.
As the words of the song go:
"I believe the children are our future,
teach them well and they will lead the way".
Our lessons include debate, mediation, resolving conflict, social justice, making decisions/choice and simple ideas for getting along with each other and being kind and supportive to our peers.
A very interesting website is www.peaceoneday.org which promotes the United Nations International Day of Peace.
Displays around our school.
The silk wall hangings pictured below were created by Sally Anne Wearings and are on display at school.

I dreamed I saw an angel
I dreamed I saw an angel
She was watching over me
Her wings were white and full of light
A wondrous thing to see.
Her smile could light the darkest night
Chase the shadows far away
She would seem to calm the dream
And you’d wish for her to stay.
An angel takes you by the hand
When your tired out and worn
And will be near to wipe a tear
Tomorrow when you mourn.
She gives you comfort when you’re sad
And the angel dust she spreads
Will cast a glow when you feel low
And light the way ahead.
An angel hears the children’s cries
And when we’re in distress
We asked in prayer: "Is someone there?"
Will always answer "Yes!"
