The Year 6 children thoroughly enjoyed their trips last week. They met Chris Philp, the local MP for Croydon South on Thursday at the House of Commons. He was very impressed by the children’s questions and ideas.
On Friday, we went and cheered on the English Table Tennis team at the Copper Box. The children were great representatives of the school while travelling through London.
This week, we have a trip to the National Theatre on Monday and then a charity visiting the school on Tuesday, talking to the children about growing up with violence around them in London.
