Dear Parents & Carers,

Spring Term promises to be an eventful one, as always the children will be expected to do their very best in their studies, but there is a busy school schedule too; trips out, a programme of class assemblies, school and parish Masses and events for all to celebrate together. The exciting highlights in the early part of this term include our experienced brass instrument players, Year 6 pupils, performing at the South Bank Centre in an evening concert which is a joint performance with secondary school pupils. There will also be a workshop, especially for parents of KS1 & 2 children, entitled ‘The power of the book’.

We encourage our children and parents to be active members of our community here in Peckham and promote the initiatives identified through our partnership with Peckham Citizens, which we are a founding member and is a group of eleven community organisations, working together for the common good.

Currently we are actively involved with: information sharing concerning the development of Aylesham shopping centre; encouraging volunteers for the monthly Saturday working party and the Friends of Kelly Avenue Park; and developing a local response to the London wise rise in knife crime. We continue to promote Financial Education in school and encourage everyone to be part of our School Saving Bank which is open each week and through which we hope as many children as possible will get into good saving habits for their future.

So it will be busy……and we haven’t even mentioned Lent, preparing for Easter and what we’ll be doing for that! Keep in touch; read the weekly newsletter; talk to us - at the beginning and end of the day or through our ‘Suggestion Box’.
