Welcome to our school's website

We hope that you will find the website informative and that it will provide you with a flavour of Sherwood Park Primary School, our ethos and our values. We are continually updating and developing the website to make it more interactive and a good source of information about our school. We have a very active Facebook page (Sherwood Park Nursery and Primary School) and X account (@SherwoodPBexley). They show a wide range of activities, sports and trips that are on offer at Sherwood Park and our amazing children engaged in learning, laughter and play.

Visits to see 'our school in action' are warmly welcomed.

Please note that our ASD resource provision is currently full and will continue to be full for the acdemic year 2024-2025. Please feel free to call and speak to the SENCO if you would like any further information.

Bexley Children's University

We are thrilled to share the news that Sherwood Park Primary School is joining the London South East Children’s University. Being a part of the Children’s University is an opportunity to reward children for taking part in a huge range of extra-curricular activities and can help to develop their love of learning. We are one of a growing number of Bexley primary schools recognising the positive benefit that joining the Children’s University brings to our children.

For further information please look under the Children's University tab.

Healthy Schools London

In November, we were awarded the Bronze Healthy Schools London award, sponsored by the Mayor of London, for our 'outstanding contribution to improve wellbeing' in our school. We are dedicated to helping our children learn about their health and develop their motivation and self-respect to make healthy choices. Well done to Mrs Walton for working hard with the children to achieve the award.

Secret Santa Room

Dear Parents and Carers, We have some very eager parent volunteers who are happy to run a Secret Santa Room again this year. It was a brilliant success last year and the children had lots of fun choosing a gift for someone special. We will hold our Secret Santa Room event on Monday 18th December, when the children can bring in £2 to buy a gift for someone in their family. For this to work we need gift donations from all children by Wednesday 13th December. Example donations could be unused candles, chocolates, bath sets, stocking fillers such as gloves, socks etc and we recommend that it’s a gift suitable for adults as the children generally enjoy choosing for their grownups. All we ask is that items do not contain alcohol or nuts and are unopened/used. The idea is that if every child brings in a gift, there will be enough gifts for all children to buy one (and fingers crossed they don’t buy back what you sent in). It’s such good fun and the children enjoy bringing home the wrapped present ready for Christmas day. We are aware of the costs rising for everybody and so please do not spend lots of money on any of these donations. Thank you for your support in making this time of year special for the children. We are very appreciative of all the support we get for our events. Thank you.
