Back to School: A Warm Welcome to All Our Students!

As we begin a brand-new academic year, I want to warmly welcome all students, staff, and families across our Trust.

This week marks the first day back for our schools, and the sense of excitement and optimism is truly inspiring.

A special welcome to our youngest learners joining Nursery and Reception at Bannockburn Primary School - we are so thrilled to be part of your first steps in education. To our new Year 7 students at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls, and our Year 12s joining Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form - welcome to the next chapter in your journey. We are proud to support you as you grow, explore, and thrive.

We’re also delighted to welcome new members of staff joining our schools this term, thank you for choosing to be part of our community. And to all our dedicated staff across the Trust: your continued commitment, care, and hard work are the foundation of everything we achieve. You are truly appreciated.

Across all our schools, we are looking forward to a year filled with ambition, creativity, and opportunity. With dedicated staff, supportive families, and incredible young people, we know this term will be full of progress and success.

Here’s to a fantastic start to the year - let’s make it one to remember!
