Elections have taken place, results counted and we can now announce this year's Head Pupils. Congratulations to Eleanor and Isaac, and well done to all those who stood for this position. You presented yourselves very well and we look forward to your contributions in strengthening Pupil Voice this year. Congratulations also to our new Prefects and school councillors.

We are looking to recruit class - parent representatives for each class to enhance communication between school and home. What might this look like...? Signposting parents to updates on the Parent information board, details from the school newsletter/ letters that sometimes get missed via WhatsApp.

 

If you are interested in being a class rep for your child’s class/ Year group please email admin@downderry.lewisham.sch.uk. Use “Class Rep” as the subject and include your child’s name and class.

Today we presented our end of year prizes to children who have demonstrated excellent work and progress in English, Maths, STEM, Arts, Sport and Values. A special mention to Marleigh (Cherry class) recipient of the Tracey Lewis Award. Marleigh epitomised our school core values. Well Done!

Sprinkle squash between my toes,

The smell of ocean to my nose,

I can feel each grain of sand,

It falls from air into my hand.
