We are thrilled to welcome local families to the Macaulay Playgroup, a fun-filled, weekly session designed for toddlers, pre-schoolers, and their carers. Hosted at Macaulay Nursery on Victoria Rise, Clapham, this fantastic group is absolutely free and provides the perfect environment for little ones (ideally aged 18 months and up) to play, explore, and make new friends.

Is Your Child Starting School in September 2027? Join Our Reception Open Days!
Nature’s Magic Comes to Life in the Nursery!
We have been closely tracking some very special, tiny visitors on an incredible journey of growth.
On Saturday 13th September, from 10.30-14.30, St Barnabas Church will be open for their Sustainable September Saturday Spectacular (think: mash up of an open morning and an eco-fair).
Sustainable September is a nationwide month of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature and for our part in it, we are planning for several activities including bike repairs with Dr Bike, a repair cafe, plants and seed sale, children's eco craft and planting activities, face painting, 2nd hand book exchange.
Our regular community gardening and litter picking will also run. And there will be light lunch refreshments and live music!
Children's Mental Health Week
(3-9 February 2025)
What is Mental Health?!
How we feel inside, in our hearts and minds
Sometimes we feel happy, sometimes sad, sometimes worried...
But that is okay!
As parents and carers, there are ways we can support our children to give them the best chance to stay mentally healthy. It’s important to encourage children to be aware of their own mental health and to reflect on their wellbeing. We can all start to encourage this from a young age.
How can we take care of ourselves?
Talk to someone
Be kind to ourselves
Help others
Be thankful
Children's Mental Health Week 2025 will take place from 3-9 February 2025.
The theme for 2025 is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.
Launched by the children’s mental health charity, Place2Be, the aim is to encourage children and young people to embrace and explore self-awareness.
During Mental Health week our school will present a special Collective Worship for the children as well as having relevant discussions within class time.
There are lots of resources online to help and we would encourage you browse these links -

Lambeth Council is introducing a School street at Macaulay Primary School during drop off and pick times. This temporary prohibition of vehicles aims to help reduce road danger on the road, improve air quality and increase active travel to school, creating a safer and more pleasant environment at the school gates. The School Street will be introduced on 18th November 2024.
