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.

    What a fantastic day @beckenhamplacepark Our year 6 explorers took on an orienteering challenge with Alex from the Field Studies Council, learning how to use a compass and read 6-point grid references to find their way around the park. As, always, thank you to our parent helpers! #SWOY #stwilliamofyork #catholicprimaryschool #lewisham #selondon #beckenhamplacepark

    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

"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."
