After the lockdowns and restrictions of the past two years Thamesmead School are looking forward to welcoming visitors back to see us.
Our response to the pandemic was widely praised by our parent and student community as we led the way and delivered live teaching via Microsoft Teams from the earliest days of the first lockdown. Our carefully planned return to school following both lockdowns ensured that we could keep the students and staff as safe as possible and minimise the impact on learning of any restrictions we had to impose for safety. Supporting our students to continue learning as part of a community has been our priority throughout. As our 2020/21 school year finished we were over moon to see the return of our Sports day, outdoor celebration assemblies, and a cast film-ing of our much delayed 2020 school production ‘School of Rock’. These occasions definitely helped put the magic back into school life at the end of this peculiar year.
At present our plan will be to return to school in September to the routines that worked so well to create a happy and thriving school pre-pandemic. There have been some ‘Covid wins’ which we will maintain but we are very much looking forward to getting back to the business of mak-ing Thamesmead an even better school after all of the ups and downs of the pandemic. We know that if you are choosing a new school for your child there is no substitute to seeing it with your own eyes. We very much hope to welcome you on one of our tours in the Autumn term or at our Open evening on 14th October.
