The Christmas story, by Cavell school
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cavell First and Nursery School is a 275-pupil school in an area of Norwich where many people are out of work or on low incomes. Its teachers and children work hard but have few of the advantages of schools in more affluent areas. Since 1986 the s chool has produced a regular Christmas magazine for parents, in which the children tell the Christmas story in their own way.
This year about 100 of the six- and seven-year-olds have produced a collection of Christmas correspondence - postcards, letters, notes and birth announcements. Achievement shines out from every page, whether it is the hesitant words of a child who needs total concentration even to make a mark on the paper or the fluency of another to whom learning comes easily.
The collection is a testimony to the quality of teaching that goes on in Britain on every school day of the year.
