A message form Pinaki Ghoshal, Lewisham's Executive Director for Children and Young People and Angela Scattergood, Director of Education. We believe that our schools and settings are key to tackling racism and other forms of discrimination.
We will support all Lewisham schools and settings in their commitment to standing against racism and injustice, alongside and in solidarity with the local and global Black community. Oak Gardens Primary School has always been a warm and welcoming place for everyone; we believe it always will be. Our core values are Aspirational, Brave, Compassionate, Determined and Enlightened.
Underpinning our core values, we continually practise tolerance, equality and respect they are in our DNA. We are always here for you, regardless of your race, sexuality, gender, religion or anything else which makes you, you.
