Dear Families,

As I write this, there is a wonderful light outside bringing out the incredible autumnal colours on the trees, reminding me how lucky we are to have the wonderful green space we have at JKPS; our little oasis of South-East London. And so lucky too, to have such a thoughtful and caring community. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support.

It means so much to us. 

Have wonderful weekends.

Patrick 

Messages for the week:

Flu immunisations: just a reminder, these will be taking place this Tuesday, 28th November for pupils from Reception to Year 6. 

Lost property: - we have a growing mountain of tupperware and waterbottles. These are currently in front of the school. Please do look through these and reclaim lost items. 

A safety notice about bicycles: for the safety of others, please dismount from bicycles at the gate rather than cycling through the playground area. 

 

School Uniform Reminder 

Could parents please ensure that their children come to school wearing the appropriate school uniform:

  • Dark grey trousers or knee-length skirt or pinafore
  • White polo shirt or button shirt
  • School sweatshirt or cardigan (turquoise, with JKPS logo)
  • Black sensible shoes

More information about our school uniform is on the website. 

Sankt Martin

Below are a few pictures from our Sankt Martin celebration on the 10th. Thank you to everyone who made it such a lovely event and thank you to the Friends Of JKPS for helping ensure it ran so smoothly. 

Remember, we are still collecting unwanted winter coats - please leave any that you might have in the collection bag just inside the office.
