WPSFB Students Shaping the Future of Thamesmead

A group of Year Ten students were recently invited to take part in a consultation workshop with Tukington Martin, the landscape architecture firm leading the redesign of parks and recreational spaces across Thamesmead and Abbey Wood.

Selected for their outstanding behaviour, enthusiasm, and impressive progress in General Certificate of Secondary Education Citizenship, the students collaborated with three professional architects to share their ideas on how local community spaces could better serve young people.

The architects were full of praise for the students’ maturity, confidence, and thoughtful contributions - so much so that they will be returning in the coming months to share their updated plans and continue working with our students as the project develops.

We are incredibly proud of how our students represented the school and the meaningful impact they are making on the future of their community.
