Another warm and busy week! Children performed well in their assessments and worked hard to show us all they know (assessment judgments and performance data will appear on end-of-year Reports which will be sent via e-mail in the final week of term); Y1 & 2 all visited Hyde Park for their British Summer Time Festival; Y3 attended Music workshops in the Appleby Blue; we have begun to welcome children and new parents/carers for our Reception cohort in September 2025 and many Y6s attended transition days to secondary schools. Y6 also attended the Oval for a terrific Cricket trip, and library visits and swimming lessons continue.

Our Collective Worship theme has started to focus on ‘Moving On’ as we approach the end of the academic year. On Wednesday we all paid tribute to Penny Molyneux at Old Jamaica Road as she retired from our Full Governing Board after over 20 years of service. We wish her the very best of luck for a full and happy retirement.

Our full newsletter and diary dates sheet is attached below together with numerous flyers giving information regarding summer fun and activities.

Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community a super weekend!
God bless, from the St. James’ team.

We’ve had a busy and productive week both in and out of school – the main highlight being Year 6’s residential trip to PGL, Marchant’s Hill, Surrey, where children had a great time, faced many challenges and engaged with really fun activities for the three days! Reception attended a trip to the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich; KS2 watched a performance delivered by students from St. Saviour’s and St. Olave’s and library visits and swimming lessons continue.

Our Collective Worship theme has continued to focus on ‘Heroes of the Faith’. This week we learnt about Gideon and Jonah and what we can take from these characters in the Bible.

Next week will be our final Assessment Week for the academic year. As always, all we ask is that children try their very best in calm environments to show us what they’ve learnt this year. Children are generally un-phased by these and ready to show us what they know! These assessments will inform end of year judgments which will come home on Annual Reports at the end of term.

Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community a lovely weekend!
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
