Year 13 CTECH Sport Students are running an event called 'Goal for Good' - a football tournament run for Year 8 students on Wednesday 8th March 2023.
All money raised will be going to their chosen charity - Children in Need.
A fantastic event for our school community, where our oldest students will be working with and supporting some of our youngest students.
Stay tuned for an update!
Today at break time the School Council held a cake sale. Firstly thank you to all those members of staff and students who made cakes and those who donated them.
We had slices of vanilla cake, muffins, cupcakes, biscuits, donuts and much more. Break time came and went, and we sold out of nearly everything we had available!
We managed to raise a huge £185 which is a fantastic amount. Thank you to everyone within our school community that donated their money to this worthy cause.
The £185 raised from this sale will be donated to Syria and Turkey's earthquake crisis fund.
Year 7 students have been taking part in the Greenwich Transition Book Group alongside students from other Greenwich schools. They all really enjoyed reading their last book: Children of the Quicksands by Efua Traore.
Re: Strike Day: 2nd March 2023
We are writing to inform you of the arrangements for Thursday 2nd March 2023.
As you are aware, there is an Industrial Teacher strike on Thursday 2nd March across London.
Due to significantly reduced staffing, we will be running a limited programme for invited students only. These students will receive a separate message inviting them in with details of their arrival and departure time.
Therefore, the school will be closed to all students, unless you have received a separate message inviting your young person in.
Hub students
The school day will start at 9.00am for those invited into the hub, finishing by 1.50pm.
Year 11s
We are determined to ensure there are minimal disruptions to the Year 11 Mock examinations, therefore ALL YEAR 11 students, will be expected to attend school; being on site at the normal time of 8:25am in order to sit their Maths Pre-public exams in the morning.
If your child also studies French or has been invited to attend a 6th form face to face interview, he will remain on site until the afternoon.
Year 13s
The invited year 13s will be onsite from 9am to 1pm
We will be providing lunch and/or break for students invited in, but normal payment arrangements will apply.
Additionally, any student not invited in for the above activities who is eligible for free school meals will be able to attend the school from 11.45am to 12.45pm to collect a take-away lunch.
Please look out for messages soon from us to check whether your son/daughter has been invited in.

We have a long and proud history at Woolwich Polytechnic, having educated local students for over 100 years: we have been a technical school; reported as the most improved boy’s school in the country; a community school and now an academy; a single school and now the founding ‘brother’ to our sister school, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls. We have year-on-year exam results at A Level and BTEC that make us, our students and their families rightly proud. Yet our relentless focus is upon the futures of our current students as we counsel them through their educational careers to be the most successful version of themselves. This is evident in year-on-year increases in students accessing courses at Oxbridge, in medicine and at prestigious Russell Group universities, as well as high-end apprenticeships in finance.
