As a school we would like to mention that our thoughts are with the families and friends of people of all those people who were involved in yesterday’s tragic event.

Yesterday there were two school visits taking place in central London from Grasmere. We would like to highlight the fantastic efforts of Siobhan Maguire, Charlotte Ruse, Sarah Mooney and Ian McGovern who supported our children brilliantly through an extremely difficult time. Many thanks go also to parents who attended the visits, as well as the group of parents who helped us ferry the children back to school safely. Well done everyone!
