Despite the ongoing national lockdown the SSLP is thriving in the virtual world of partnerships. This week eight of our students joined David Lammy MP to ask him questions about his latest book, Tribes, and his thoughts on identity, racial inequality and belonging. This was the latest webinar in our Thinking About series and it attracted 165 viewers! If you would like to view the recording please contact admin@sslp.education
We also had the pleasure of announcing the winners of December’s Photography Competition – Still Life. You can see all the entries on Flickr.
Congratulations to Olivia, Cavali, Emily and Diana.

Collectively we use 48 different languages, the most common is French.
