For the children and a fully funded payrise. Proud to be taking action yesterday against the current state of education with @savibale But where was the press coverage?

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

Wow! Just watch this.
Thousands and thousands of NEU members standing up for what is right.
Be proud.
We are standing up for our children and we can win.

Superb!

[Savi Bale @savibale]

We @HeathbrookPri were so privileged to have had one of our compositions played and arranged by the @Ldn_Sinfonietta at the Royal festival hall @southbankcentre. The children were thrilled to hear their work come alive by professional musicians. Thank you for the experience!

[Savi Bale @savibale]

@oldvictheatre Thank you for hosting @heathbrookpri at your focus group- we enjoyed being part of the conversation...AND what a show! @lisadefty and I had the BEST time watching #OVSylvia . We'll be back and spreading the word. Congrats on the @OlivierAwards nominations!!

Today school councillors and a PTA rep shared their plans to create underground rainwater storage in our playground. It will benefit our substantial wildlife areas as well as reduce flooding into neighbouring buildings.

Year 3s are using our stunning artroom for colour mixing and exploring different colour tones. Beginning with primary colours they created secondary colours and then more!

"What a lovely school, my child can't wait to start!"

It's a huge privilege to be able to welcome new children, parents and carers to our Reception classes each year... and so reassuring to hear such positive feedback.

Pretty impressive stuff! @HeathbrookPri @lambeth_council #Decarbonisation #NetZeroCarbon #Lambeth

[Heathbrook Primary @HeathbrookPri]

Today we welcomed @clairekholland, leader of @lambeth_council, to see our solar panels, LED lighting and air source heat pumps as part of a public sector decarbonisation project. School councillors questioned her about the council's commitment to sustainability and affordability!

[Florence Eshalomi MP @FloEshalomi]

Got my daily exercise in on my visit to @HeathbrookPri this morning. It was great to tour the School with members of the School Council, learning about the nature garden, impressive art work & music lessons. A big thank you Mr Robert’s and the staff team supporting the pupils 💪🏾

[Heathbrook Primary @HeathbrookPri]

It was a real pleasure for school councillors to show @FloEshalomi around school today. They introduced her to our wildlife garden, all-weather sports pitch, full-time music teacher and one of our artists in residence as well as much much more!
