Thank You!!!!

It was a fantastic afternoon of food, drinks and fun. A huge to thank you to everyone who volunteered, whether it was chopping strawberries, flipping burgers, making salads, baking sweets, mixing drinks, ferrying groceries, popping popcorn, lining recycle bins, or working the stalls. Special thanks, as always to our student volunteers! And a massive thank you to Tesco for donating a very long grocery list, and to Gail's for the yummy sweets.

Lastly, thank you to all our parents who are leaving the school this year: your dedication and enthusiasm has given all our kids a better education and a happier community.

It's official! Science Lab now open!

We were very excited to celebrate the official opening of the school's new Science Lab on 4 April 2019. It is the only fully kitted out lab in Westminster in a primary school, and one of very few in the country. Our Year 5 and 6 Science Ambassadors welcomed the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Lindsey Hall, and the Westminster Deputy Director for Education, Richard Stanley, as well as parents and students. They performed a number of experiments which showed the gathering just how excited and engaged students are when learning science hands-on. The Friends of Barrow Hill was honoured with a commemorative plaque as thanks for the efforts of the parents who dedicated an enormous amount of time and effort to raise the funds to build the lab. Thank you everyone!
