In their newly appointed roles as House Captains and Deputies, the children went to visit Deptford Reach on Friday afternoon to donate the huge amount of food donations brought into school from the recent Harvest Festival Assemblies. The children were taken in the school mini-bus with Mr Smales and Mrs Parsons.
Deptford Reach (http://www.deptfordreach.org.uk/) is a charity which supports homeless people and those with mental health issues, in Deptford. We met the co-ordinator, called Dee, who gave the children a tour of the facilities and talked about the many different ways in which the charity supports local people in Deptford.
By offering all the generous food donations to a local charity exemplified so many of our school values, such as Kindness, Empathy and Thoughtfulness.
