Benthal has started off their 70th anniversary celebrations with a talk from Hackney's youngest Councillor @HumairaGarasia who also attended Benthal as a pupil and historian Ken Worpole! #benthal #anniversary #hackney #primary #school
We are looking for former staff and pupils of @BenthalSchool to come to our 70th birthday tea party on Friday 19 July. If you’d like to come, please get in touch. @hackneygazette @Stokeypeople @stokeylocal @HackneyMagazine @EmmaReporter @hackneycitizen @HackneySociety

Ken Worpole at the Benthal POP-up Museum. On display are photos and original plans of the school, old pictures of teachers and pupils, and a section on the history of the ‘Island’.
Latin American festival at @arcolatheatre Theatre, dance, music and films
One more day until #CASAFestival 🎉 The festival kicks off with #Unfamiliar, an autobiographical look at being queer today, and the frank and funny look at gender roles #Ladylike. Plus mariachi and cocktails at the Opening Party, 8.30pm in the Bar → arco.la/casa
The children enjoyed both talks, and asked a lot of questions, which is always a good sign!
This afternoon Ken Worpole spoke to Years 5&6 about the strange and fascinating history of Hackney’s ‘Island’ community.
Hackney’s youngest elected councillor Humaira Garasia spoke to Benthal students in assembly this morning as part of this week’s 70th birthday celebrations.
We are kicking off the week’s anniversary celebrations by having the social historian Ken Worpole come in to talk to pupils and parents about the history of Hackney’s ‘Island’ community.

Benthal is celebrating their 70th year anniversary. If you attended Benthal Junior School as a child or later on at the Infant School or was a member of staff and would like to share your stories, please contact the office on 0208-985-9310 #benthal #anniversary #primary #hackney
The 70th anniversary of Benthal School is approaching (week beginning 15 July) and we would love to hear from any former staff or pupils. Please get in touch if you went there or worked there, or know anyone who did.
The school was designed in six weeks, right up against a budget deadline. There was no time for a proper consultation so Mass simply asked his children and their friends what they liked and disliked about their own schools.
A fellow architect described Maas’s work as a ‘Mickey Mouse design’, to which the architect’s responses ‘frankly, considering who we were both designing for, I accepted his comment as a compliment.’
‘there were few parks of places to play in the area.’ Hence the school’s many little garden like areas, and huge split-level playground.
Secondly the new portion of Benthal that I was asked to create was for 5-7 year olds. So why did all the existing schools for these age groups have nine foot ceiling heights?
Architect Paul Maas on designing Benthal: “Two things became clear: first when small children play they love to hide in bushes or places that have the characteristics of caves, and they often take blankets of sheets etc., to simulate tents.”
