Lyndhurst Primary School

Lyndhurst Primary School is a co-educational primary school in the town of Camberwell, London Borough of Southwark.

The current Head teacher of the school is Mr Nick Hammill. The current Deputy Head is Mrs Jola Nowakowska. The school has had the same school logo since 1999, although a new logo was put in place as of 2006 and a new uniform is being used as of February 2008. The uniform is not compulsory for any student.

In the Academic Year 2006-2007, Mr Nick Hammill left the school for unknown reasons although the pupils were told that he would be back next year. His position was temporarily taken over by Mrs Alison Carter who stayed on as Head Teacher until the end of the Academic Year although she left the school at the end of the year to become Head Teacher of another school. Mr Nick Hammill returned to his post in September 2007.

The school was provided money by Southwark to build a new building, which was put in place in 2006 and an astroturf football pitch which was put in place as of 2007.

There are approximately 350 pupils in the school at this time.

Famous quotes containing the words primary and/or school:

    “Wilful sterility is, from the standpoint of the nation, from the standpoint of the human race, the one sin for which the penalty is national death, race death; a sin for which there is no atonement.... No man, no woman, can shirk the primary duties of life, whether for love of ease and pleasure, or for any other cause, and retain his or her self-respect.”
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    “[How] the young . . . can grow from the primitive to the civilized, from emotional anarchy to the disciplined freedom of maturity without losing the joy of spontaneity and the peace of self-honesty is a problem of education that no school and no culture have ever solved.”
    —Leontine Young (20th century)
