Canal and River Trust has been helping us deliver sessions at Harlesden, whilst Let’s Leap have been partnering us in Southall, and at Osterley Park we have been working with Learning Tree, the Young Explorers, and St. Anslem’s Church.

During July we were still doing our regular after school clubs with Three Bridges School and Harlesden Primary School as well as core curriculum work at Three Bridges and Sybil Elgar School. Additionally we welcomed St. Mary’s School and Khalsa Primary School to sessions.
