This morning all staff and students at Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form took part in the ‘Girls Can! – Great Big Live Assembly’, hosted by the Sanctuary Foundation.

Together, we celebrated the courage and contribution of women and girls - reflecting on the power of voice, resilience and opportunity.
The Great Big Live Assembly brought inspiration and challenge, featuring:
  • A live quiz for teachers
  • Shout-outs to schools across the country
  • Inspiring messages from women across the UK
  • A Minecraft programmer sharing her journey into tech
  • A powerful and moving story from Afghanistan
It was an opportunity for our students to learn, to be challenged, and to hear real stories of determination and hope. Moments like these help to empower young people - especially girls - to speak up with confidence, pursue their ambitions, and know that their voices matter.
We are committed to creating spaces where every student feels seen, heard and inspired to make a difference.
