Remembrance
Monday 27th January 2020 marked 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, a concentration camp during the Second World War.
Scouts last week spent their meeting listening to the story of one of the survivors. Scouts went on to reflect of what they have to be thankful for whilst making Memorial Flames which will form part of the new Scout display board going up in the next few weeks.

Mrs Wilkes in the Library has a special area set up on the theme of ‘Space’. 8LD really enjoyed their visit. They had a space story read to them and they all had a photo in the astronauts suit. Quotes from the class: “that was so cool” “I want to be an astronaut” and “can we come back again?”
Mrs Daniels—Teacher, Class 8LD

Another successful trip for the under 16 team to the South London Special League. The team included two new faces to the squad, who settled in really well. The team conducted themselves very well throughout the day and were a credit to the school. Sanif was the player of the tournament, scoring two goals. Well done to the team!
