Latest Newsletter - Friday 28th November 2025

Such a busy week! Lots of super Art work and learning which we hope to show off in our Open Evening next week. Many thanks again for your generous contributions towards our school fund and playground development from our non-uniform days.
Our Collective Worship theme has begun to focus on Advent, what this means when preparing for Christmas, and considering Advent traditions around the globe.
Please see the attached full newsletter below; there is a lot of information contained within for this busy time of year! Also, there is a flyer for Messy Church, after school this Friday.
Wishing you and our whole community a super weekend.
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
