Final Newsletter - 17th July 2026
A busy final week of the academic year! Years 5&6 performed wonderfully in their Violin Recital on Monday, showing super progress; Reception children performed with great enthusiasm and confidence in their Summer Production on Tuesday; Nursery children had their graduation and we’ve all been busy preparing for the end of term in many different ways. Our farewell service to our Year 6s always provokes a mixture of excitement and sadness as we remember our time together. They performed brilliantly in their SATs and are ready to leave us for their next step. To them and anyone leaving us, we will miss you very much and send all our very best wishes.
Do remember – we break up for the Summer Holidays today at 13:15 (Alexis St) and 13:30 (Old Jamaica Road). There is no after school club provision at either site on this final day of term.
Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community
a wonderful, happy and safe Summer holiday!
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
We look forward to seeing all children back on
Wednesday 2nd September
at the usual school times.
