Welcome from the Head Teacher

At St William of York Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that we provide a safe, nurturing, positive and inclusive experience for our children, parents and staff.

We aim for excellence in all that we do and encourage our pupils to achieve their full potential. We work in partnership with parents to celebrate the uniqueness of every child and embrace the individual gifts and talents of all of those in our school community. We are an inclusive school and we welcome families of all faiths, or no faith at all.

    A huge THANK YOU to our amazing PTA, SWOYSA, for their incredible work at today's Christmas Fair! People often underestimate just how much time and preparation goes into making an event like this happen from organising, planning, ordering food and stalls, coordinating volunteers, and handling a hundred little details behind the scenes. You made it all look effortless, and the whole school felt the magic because of you. Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and festive spirit. We're so grateful for everything you do for our school community! #stwilliamofyork #catholicprimaryschool #SElondon #Lewisham #thankyou #SWOY #SWOYSA

"There are wonderful benefits of a small school. Everything is more personal. Parents and children are greeted daily and everyone knows everyone’s name. The school is a friendly and caring environment for the children to learn in. Parents feel confident that their children are happy and we feel that we can take concerns to the teacher directly."
