    Today our pupils took their learning beyond the classroom walls for Outdoor Learning Day! From creating beautiful art to working together on team building challenges, everyone loved learning how the world around us can be our best classroom. #outdoorlearningday #SWOY #Stwilliamofyork #catholicprimaryschool #lewisham #selondon

    A huge well done to our amazing Year 5s for leading this year's Harvest Assembly - you did a brilliant job sharing the true meaning of harvest with confidence and care! We also want to give a special shout-out to Nursery and Reception, who sang beautifully in their very first performance in front of the whole school. You were absolutely fantastic! Thank you for all of your generous harvest donations - they are greatly appreciated. #SWOY #stwilliamofyork #catholicprimaryschool #lewisham #selondon #harvest

    SWOY were back at the Horniman this week - this time Year 3 were exploring skeletons as part of their science topic. They got hands-on with real bones and learned all about how skeletons help us move, grow and stay protected. A fascinating, fun filled trip! #stwilliamofyork #swoy #lewisham #selondon #hornimanmuseum #science

"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."
