Headteacher's Message
We will continue the week’s celebrations with our Christmas dinner and Winter Festival, through to school finishing on Friday 16th at 1.30pm (no Club Xtra).
There are a lot of coughs and colds around at the moment as well as other illnesses. Getting the balance right between attending school and taking time off so that these illnesses don’t spread is always a fine balance, but high school attendance is key to your child’s happiness and success.
I hope you all have a wonderful break, stay safe and celebrate with family and friends.
We return to school on Thursday 5th January. Attendance on these two days is so important as this is when teachers will launch the children’s new topics, see you all then.
New Breakfast Club Menu
We are launching our new Breakfast Club menu in January. We have also joined up to the National Breakfast Club Programme who are part funding some of the food that we provide, such as bagels and cereals. Please let us know if you have any comments about the new menu. You can contact us on the school email: admin@kelvingrove.lewisham.sch.uk

Nuts in School

Book Donation
Acorn Book Club is a charity that accepts donations of pre-loved children’s books from members of the general public and redistributes them to primary school libraries and other organisations that work with young children. They were founded in 2018 and in that time have donated over 53,000 books that may otherwise be sitting on bookshelves throughout homes in South East London.
