Latest Newsletter - Friday 19th June 2026
Another really busy and active week – swimming and Millwall sessions continue for Years 5&6; Year 4 attended the Salmon Centre for a sports activity day on Tuesday; Summer Reading Challenge assemblies were delivered to all; Years 5&6 had medical workshops with King’s College Hospital; Year 6 took part in an excellent Careers’ Day and we have hosted a girls’ football tournament at KS2!
