Latest Newsletter - Friday 16th May 2025
A busy week as we approach our final week of Summer term 1! Time is really flying. Year 6 have completed their SATs tests; Years 1 & 4 have attended the Natural History Museum as part of this term’s Geography learning; it was super to see our children dressed up in amazing outfits which reflected their heritage and lovely for our community to come together to share some food at Alexis St. Clubs have now started, Year 5 Girls’ footballers had a great match with Michael Faraday on Tuesday and swimming lessons continue to be enjoyed by all.
Our Collective Worship theme has continued to be based around the lead up to Pentecost, The Holy Spirit, and events following Easter.
Please see below for our full newsletter together with a diary date sheet and information on half term activities and a shopping app to help us raise funds!
Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community a super weekend!
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
