It’s always nice to hear good news from school

We have launched the Good News Postcards, for staff to send home to parents, to highlight positive moments in school.

 

 

 

We had a fabulous time celebrating our Spanish Speaking Community on 22.05.2026

We spent our school day learning about all the different Spanish speaking countries, learning about the types of food, music and traditions that they offer and we finished off the day with an amazing celebration for all.

 

 

 

We are proud to introduce our school community pantry.

The Pantry has been launched with the kindness, generosity and support, from our partners at Skyway Charity.

This pantry aims to ensure that every member of our school community has access to essential items, that make shopping that little bit easier.

Iftar (Arabic: إفطار) is the evening meal with which Muslims break their daily fast at sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. It is one of the primary religious observances of the month, often serving as a significant communal and spiritual event.

Timing: The meal begins exactly at sunset, coinciding with the Maghrib (evening) call to prayer.
Sunnah Tradition: Following the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad, many break the fast by eating an odd number of dates (usually three) and drinking water.
Spiritual Meaning: Iftar is a time of gratitude and reflection. It is considered a highly blessed time for making dua (supplication), as Muslims believe prayers made at this moment are particularly likely to be accepted.
Charity: Providing iftar for others—especially the poor or those in need—is seen as a deeply rewarding act of charity (Sadaqah)

We welcomed many members of our school community, both past and present to join us for iftar during the month of Ramadan.

This was a wonderful community event that brought together many people from different faiths.

 

 

Lunar New Year 2026 fell on Tuesday, 17 February 2026. It marked the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse.

The celebrations typically span 16 days, from New Year’s Eve to the Lantern Festival.

Here are some of the wonderful entries and winners of the “design a horse” competition for Lunar New Year 2026!

Well done everyone who contributed 🎉🐎

 Mood boards help to keep projects or goals in view.  Mood boards are basically a collection of images that you are going to use to bounce off and start developing your ideas from.  Mood boards are great when you’re creating designs for yourself as they will keep you on track and accountable, ,so that you can reach your goals.

On January 16th 2026, Miss Yusuf (Yr2), led a family initiative across the school, where parents were invited in to create mood boards with their children.

This was an extremely fun and creative session, using a variety of images, colour and designs.

During the session, families gathered images, colors, textures and fonts to visually define their mood board.

 

It has been a busy year so far with many wonderful things happening within our school community

There was our Celebration of Black Culture Evening in November 2025, where pupils showcased their knowledge about Black culture and showcased their talents in dance, music and poetry too. This was a wonderful event and we even had students from Harris Academy Peckham join us too.

 

Our annual International Evening is a celebration of the cultures from around the world that inspire our children and our community.  Children & staff shared performances of music, dancing and poetry from different countries around the world, reflecting our diverse community and our families & staff brought wonderful food dishes from lots of culinary traditions, to share!

Thank you to all who took part, supported & who came to watch the performances.
