We were really rocking on Tuesday at The Charter School North Dulwich when eight bands from six SSLP schools came together for a Song Writing Workshop organised by the SSLP Music Hub. They worked with four industry experts in the morning and then gave us a performance after lunch, choosing to either do a familiar cover or their own music. Two bands from Alleyn’s School and one from The Charter School East Dulwich were brave enough to perform their own songs for us!

Every SSLP school is represented by two Student Ambassadors who together form a Student Council influencing SSLP student activities. They meet at the beginning of each term to discuss upcoming events. We met earlier this week, with representatives attending from Alleyn’s, Compass and JAGS.
As well as engaging with this term’s activities Ambassadors will be encouraging students to participate in this year’s impact evaluation.
