Here they are helping London Mayor, Boris Johnson, publicise the charity, Penny for London, which lets you make a small donation to help disadvantaged young Londoners every time you use a contactless card with a participating retailer. Full details here
Today I was in the school to meet with prospective parents for next year's Reception Class to tell them a little about church-school links and the school's Christian distinctiveness.
Our problem at St James's is one of success with four applicants for every place at the school.
Most years we can take only 60 children and with such a densely populated area as Bermondsey that meant last year that you needed to live within 500 feet of either school site to be sure of a place if you weren't a member of the nursery, a regular church attender, or a parent of a child already at the school.
We need more schools! Thank God there is at least one new one for Bermondsey in the pipeline.
