At St Paul’s in Camden, we are fortunate to have a history of strong parental involvement. That involvement continues and evolves.

Increasingly schools are a link to their communities and so need to provide more - not just for children - but for adults in the area.

Whether it is the Christmas fair, a random craft market, Scouts, a performing arts group, a food market, a quiz night or a Valentine’s disco, it all builds and strengthens the community around the school.

So, thanks to the school, staff, our parent community FOSPA, local scouting groups, Perform, St Mary’s Church, On the Hill Magazine and the Primrose Hill Food Market for making the spaces for our community to be. It is amazing what we achieve and provide together.
