On Thursday 3rd March we will be celebrating World Book Day. To mark the occasion we are asking all children to come to school dressed as a character from their favourite book/ inspired by their favourite children's author. 

One of the best African story tellers, Usifu, will be visiting Downderry and leading children in story telling workshops throughout the day. We look forward to your support in making World Book Day 2016 the best yet!

Once again, pupils from Downderry Primary school were invited to meet the mayor of Lewisham at his chambers. Our young ambassadors representing our school were: Skylar, Sonny, Tyler and Alyssia.

A great experience was had by all, and the mayor was asked some very challenging questions regarding improvements to the Downham area. Watch this space for further developments!

As part of Parent Learning Week this week we are held a parent workshop on the changes to assessment for 2016.

Thank you to all the parents who came to the parent workshop. The turn out was fantastic. We hope you found it informative and your feedback is appreciated.

The next parent workshop will be on Tuesday 9th February on Internet Safety.

Congratulations to all children who met their targets last term and attended the Target Setting Celebration Tea.

We have put a video in the Children's Gallery to celebrate their achievements.

Keep working hard, and with excellent attendance, it might be you this term…

The school choir warmed up for Christmas, hitting the right note when they performed within the local community with guest appearances at the Children's Centre Christmas party and Lewisham's shopping centre. Cheering Christmas shoppers, they raised a magnificent £461.77 for St. Christopher's Hospice.
