Our Year 5 students from across the Federation had the opportunity to work in our Secondary Science laboratories, taking part in a Science lesson led by our Secondary Science teachers.

In the primary phases each class was assigned a country and had to learn stories and traditions about their particular country. The children wore colourful clothes, as well as traditional clothing. It was a fun afternoon full of activities such as food tasting, weaving and cultural dances, with some classes even receiving special visits from parents. It was a fantastic event that taught the children the importance of diversity and cultural appreciation. 

   

We are delighted to share with you the report written by Ofsted for St. Mary Magdalene C of E All Through School which took place on the 1st and 2nd of November. We remain to be a good school and are very pleased to share the many strengths highlighted in the report.

Inspectors visited both our campuses and observed a wide range of lessons across all year groups at our Woolwich Primary Campus as well as across both the Primary and Secondary Phases at our Peninsula Campus. They observed break and lunchtimes as well as talking to a substantial number of pupils and staff.

The inspectors clearly recognised how all our work is driven by our strong ethos and vision centred around our key values of Faith, Family and Fellowship. The report reflects how hard we work on building positive working relationships with everyone across our school community, ensuring they are safe in a calm and orderly environment.

Our Ofsted report affirms our own school self-evaluation and we will continue to work on our one area for development with the actions that have already been put in place this academic year.

This year we have also been able to celebrate our strong GCSE and SATs results which are a testament to the hard work of all our staff. We look forward to the future, striving for excellence as set out in our Federation vision.

We are extremely proud of our school and we hope you enjoy reading the report.

Dear parents and carers,

As part of constant improvements to our practice, we have been trialing a number of different types of software to improve communication with families. We have listened to parents’ feedback requesting an easier way to communicate and view all their child’s information. Therefore, we are excited to announce from this September 2023 all parents and carers across the federation will be able to use one App on a phone, tablet, or computer to access all student information in one place, including communications and payments.

If you do not currently receive emails from the school please email our Federation Data Manager, Nick Heal on NHeal@koinoniafederation.com who can update your contact details on our system.
