Dear Parents,
We have accumulated so much lost property over the past year. Please if you think you are missing any items for your child the lost property will be placed in the school's playground on Friday, 3 September.
Here is this week's newsletter 16th July 2021
We had a lovely walk on Saturday 19th June. The children who took part did incredibly well and walked without any complaints. I recommend this walk to anyone looking for an activity during the weekend and the summer holiday. My favourite part was walking beside the river and stumbling across a lovely place called Cody Dock where we stopped for refreshments. My second favourite part was the journey in the cable car where we had another family join us to travel across the river. Thank you to all the parents, children and staff who took part.
Dear parents
Lewisham is an open borough that celebrates diversity. We have a proud history of standing up to racism and inequalities, from the Battle of Lewisham in 1977 to more recently becoming a Borough of Sanctuary.
Our Local Authority is committed to tackling race inequalities, which includes work in education.
The changes we introduce will create lasting transformation in the lives of the children at Kender. We know that these improvements to our education system will be beneficial to all Lewisham children, irrespective of their background.
We believe that in time, this will filter down into the language used, subjects studied, books that are brought home, conversations that you are having with your child about their school day. It will ultimately result in a more representative curriculum in Lewisham schools which reflects the diverse community we are proud to be part of.
We have been and continue to be determined to improve outcomes by tackling racial inequality in education. Governors approved the attached Race Equality pledge on 24 March 2021 and Kender Primary School is fully committed to supporting Lewisham Learning.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Lewisham Council has commissioned the Athena Refuge to deliver 4 x free workshops to empower parents to support their children to access technology safely and positively and what to do if you have any concerns.

Dear Parents,
I am writing to you about our plans for the reopening of Kender Primary School on Monday, 8 March 2021.
This information is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education where national or local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home.
For details of what to expect where individual pupils are self-isolating, please see the final section of this page.
Dear parents, carers and guardians,
Would you like to learn about ideas or activities to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for your child? Or, perhaps your child is worrying more than usual or feeling low and you would like some advice on steps you can take to support them?
If so, please click on the attached newsletter to find out more about the activities that we are running over lockdown, including bitesize virtual sessions, virtual coffee mornings and our parent support line.
We are Lewisham Mental Health Support Teams (MHST). We work in 19 schools across Lewisham, including your child’s school. We work in partnership with MHST schools to put in place a whole school approach to support all children and young people in the school community, including those who are currently coping with their emotional wellbeing and mental health.
