Havering Adult College Donates Books and K’Nex Sets to St. Edward’s C of E School.

Havering Adult College has donated a collection of reading books and K’Nex construction sets to St. Edward’s Church of England School in Romford, supporting literacy, creativity, and STwEM learning among local pupils.

The initiative was led by Cheryl Dower, Manager of the College’s Teaching Assistant, Early Years and Family Learning Department, who organised the donation to encourage young learners while promoting sustainability.

Cheryl Dower said:
“It’s so important to nurture a love of reading and problem-solving from a young age. By donating these books and K’Nex sets, we are not only inspiring children to explore and create, but also ensuring resources are reused in a meaningful way. Helping others in our community while reducing waste is something we are very passionate about at Havering Adult College.”

Mr Speller, Head Teacher at St Edward’s added:
“We are very grateful for the generosity shown by Havering Adult College. The books and construction sets will be a valuable resource for our pupils and will help enrich both classroom and extracurricular learning.”
