Rosh Pinah kids selected for writing class at 10 Downing Street
Rishi Sunak's wife Akshata Murty launched the Lessons at 10 initiative earlier this year
Rishi Sunak’s wife has welcomed children, including a group from Rosh Pinah Primary School, for a writing workshop at 10 Downing Street.
Five children from Year 6 were selected by the Edgware school to take part in “Lessons at 10″ alongside pupils from two other schools.
The initiative, which was launched earlier this year, was set up by Akshata Murty with the aim of providing children with the unique opportunity to experience what goes on behind the scenes of the famous black door of 10 Downing Street.
Each weekly session is open to schools from across the country, with the help of special guests, industry experts and charitable organisations.
Special guests included Nick Goldsmith and Ed Swift from a creative writing charity called ‘The Bank of Dreams & Nightmares’.
Posting afterwards on Instagram, Akshata Murty wrote: “Wonderful to welcome schools this morning for the first session of the new term.
“The team from the @thebankofdreamsandnightmares got our literary juices flowing in one of their dynamic creative writing and reading workshops.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
