An exciting journey starts here…
Creativity and excellence are at the heart of everything we do at Charles Dickens Primary School. Children are encouraged to work to the best of their abilities. However, we also want them to have lots of fun along the way – to understand nature by growing vegetables and looking after our school chickens, to develop a love of literature through working alongside actors from renowned theatres such as The Unicorn Theatre and Shakespeare's Globe, to develop leadership and mathematical skills by setting up and running mini-businesses, to develop confidence and skills as artists through working with national galleries such as Tate Modern.

Humans of SE1
Inspired by the website “Humans of New York,” the pupils of years 5 and 6 have tried to capture a small slice of the diversity found amongst SE1’s residents, workers and visitors by taking photographs of the people that they encountered. In many instances, the pupils conducted interviews with their subjects – learning more about the people who work in the remarkable buildings which surround our school, and about how the area has changed and developed in the recent past. The children learnt how to take portraits - using digital SLR cameras - and greatly improved their speaking and listening skills through asking relevant questions and responding to their interviewees’ replies. The children’s work has been gathered together on this site.
