Competitors from years 7, 8 and 9 came together to represent Ark Globe Academy, Elmgreen, Harris Boys Academy East Dulwich, STAC and Westminster City School. There was a real battle for first place, with the trophy being won by just one point. Congratulations to St Thomas the Apostle School and Sixth Form College.

Last Thursday, 25th November, students and staff from ten SSLP schools came together at Church House Westminster for a conference on Mental Health. The webinar was facilitated by Ms Whittington from Dulwich College and the guest speakers were three psychotherapists Jo Ray, Irene Sclare and Gary Baron. We learnt a lot from them all. In the afternoon the students worked in three groups to agree some social actions which will make a positive difference to the wellbeing of students in our schools.
