Latest Newsletter - Friday 30th January 2026
Yet another busy and productive week – children have produced some amazing things with their Design Technology learning; Y1 Girls have continued with their ‘Empower Her’ PE sessions; Monday clubs continue to be enjoyed and attended by many; Reception attended the Natural History museum and Key Stage One children had a super visit and assembly with author/illustrator Nick Sharratt at OJR.
Our Collective Worship theme of ‘Communication’ has continued, looking at and thinking about prayer and meditation/mindfulness as a way of communicating with God.
Our full newsletter, attached below, has lots of detail about events during this busy term so please do take a look, together with our updated diary date sheet and news from Harris Academy football and a Southwark half-term family learning event being hosted at the Thomas Carlton Centre.
Wishing you and our whole community a great weekend.
