On the 1st January, the government made changes to its plans for the opening of schools in January. All primary schools in London will now start the spring term with remote learning.

As we start the new half term, we have the chance to reflect on the first part of this academic year. We would like to thank everyone in our school community, parents, staff and our amazing children, for working hard to keep us all safe. The return to school over the last two months was incredible and we have seen lots of fantastic learning.

We hope that everyone has had a great and sunny summer holiday. We have had a busy few weeks. The school has been thoroughly cleaned and we have reviewed our risk assessment so that we are ready to welcome pupils next week.

World Oceans Day took place on 8th June and to mark the occasion, Mrs Ahmed led two online assemblies for children in Year 1 and Year 6 about the importance of our oceans and looking after our planet. 

The killing of George Floyd in America has shocked us all, both here and across the world. If we had all of our classes open, we would, at this time be talking with our children about this. We want our pupils to understand how we must all make sure that we contribute to a world that is built on respect and equality.

Heronsgate Primary School is delighted to announce that it has been recognised as one of 20 EdTech Demonstrator schools and colleges from across England in light of our effective practice in the use of technology.

In February, 84 children from Year 6 went to Osmington Bay in Dorset for school journey! Their week was filled with thrilling activities, which included abseiling, climbing Jacob’s ladder, street-surfing, zip-lining, fencing and so much more. Each day the children took part in activities that challenged them, encouraged them to stay resilient, trust themselves and peers and most importantly, have fun! The children also enjoyed nutritious and filling meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which gave them all the fuel they required. Each day ended with exquisite evening entertainment, which included a cosy camp fire and a dazzling disco.
