We work with our own students, primary schools, special schools and other organisations to raise the achievement of both science and maths by:

Organising events aimed at engaging parents and families in science related activities such as making bat boxes, inspiring talks and hands on maths 

Providing a programme for maths master classes aimed at year 5 and 6 students from across the borough

Running primary days for year 4,5 and 6 students. This has included ‘messy science’ sessions run by our young science ambassadors, visits from London zoo and planting food seeds

Promoting and maintaining links with community groups and local organisations. We are an associate school with the Royal Society and are planning cross borough events with the Horniman museum, Stephen Lawrence Trust and Forest Hill library.

• Royal Society (Associate School, Lewisham)
