On Friday 12th December children will be invited to come into school wearing their Christmas jumpers and make a £1 on the gate in aid of Save the Children.

We have done this fundraiser for the last two years and we want to try and beat last years fundraising total.

We are looking for new volunteers to create a new Parents Reps group. Come along and help to initiate new ideas, plan and organise fundraising events within our school community.

Interested? Speak to Miss Phillips about how you can help.

Children from Downderry Primary school have been successful in helping to secure £50,000 from the National Lottery for the Space Invaders project. The school was chosen because the project goes hand in hand with the school campaign for a cleaner greener area. The aim is to transform lives and green spaces in one of the capital’s most deprived areas.

Barney Clarke, of Wide Horizons Adventure Learning Charity said, ‘I just wanted to pass on a massive personal thank you to yourself, your staff and the brilliant children from Downderry’

Thanks to everyone who bought a poppy for Remembrance day. We made a fantastic £436.18 to fund welfare work for our Armed Forces families. 

Downderry has once again achieved STARS accreditation.

STARS (Sustainable Travel: Active, Responsible, Safe) is Transport for London’s (TfL) travel plan accreditation programme. The programme provides a framework and support for nurseries, schools, colleges and academies to help them put an accredited travel plan in place. It rewards educational establishments for their achievements and commitment to encourage walking, cycling and road safety.
