Car Parking at Our Lady of Grace School

I have to express my concern and disappointment which is sadly directed at a handful of parents who continually show a lack of regard for our children and our local community with their inconsiderate/dangerous driving and parking. The school has received complaints from parents one of which I am sharing with you all to highlight the severity of the irresponsible behaviour of some parents. 'No children could cross the road, it was extremely dangerous.'. 'We all had to step out into the main road'. 'Cars are parking on the pavement'. The Governing Body of the school will be wholly supportive to our local residents in securing fines against those parents who are verbally abusive or who block driveways at drop off and pick up times.   Please see letter that has been shared with parents and images of the parked cars.

Year 5 Trip to Charlton House

Trip to Charlton House 12th November 2024 Our Year 5 pupils had an exciting visit to Charlton House, where they explored history through hands-on activities and an immersive tour. They began in the Jenkins Room, enjoyed a packed lunch, then dressed in costumes to feel like Victorians for the day. Guided by Kate, the children explored the house, completed activity sheets, and played traditional Victorian games. They also participated in object-handling sessions and a Victorian dance, getting a true feel for life in that era. The trip concluded with a walk around the gardens, before students changed out of their costumes, returning with plenty of new historical knowledge and memories.

CAFOD Visit to Our Lady of Grace

Monday 11th November 2024 Today, our children had the privilege of a visit from a CAFOD volunteer, Gillie Drinkall, who spoke with them about Catholic Social Teaching and the incredible work CAFOD does to brighten the lives of people in developing countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo. The children learned inspiring stories of people who have transformed their lives by acquiring skills that offer sustainable livelihoods—such as carpentry, sewing, and mushroom farming. Through this visit, our children gained a deeper understanding of how skill-building can empower individuals and communities to overcome challenges and create a better future for themselves. It was a valuable experience that reinforced the importance of compassion, resilience, and global solidarity. Herbert - I learned that human dignity means that everyone is special Tayden - We learned that everyone has their right to have a say Michelle - Today we learned that it is important to put the people who are in need FIRST

Visit to Town Hall to visit the Mayor of Greenwich

On Tuesday 5th November, our wonderful school council members were invited to the Town Hall in Woolwich to meet the Mayor of Greenwich. The trip started off with an exciting bus journey, full of chatter and laughter making our way there. Upon our arrival, we were greeted and amazed by the beautiful building of the town hall. The high, light pink ceilings and the wealth of History really took our breath away. We were very lucky to meet a local councillor who took us around her office and showed us the day to day running of the office. After a quick tour, we had the opportunity to meet the Mayor, we were able to ask him lots of questions about what his day to day looked like, how he became Mayor and why he wanted to become the Mayor. We then participated in a debate, debating about whether we should get more school holidays or not. The motion was voted in favour of more school holidays for schools, with one person abstaining from voting. After our debate, we were invited for some refreshments and had a chance to try on the Mayor’s cloak. It was such a fantastic day which our school council loved!
