Newsletter - Friday 4th April 2025
We come to the end of a busy and productive Spring term – we’re so proud, as always, of all our children, their unique skills and talents and all they continue to achieve. This week it was great to see parents and carers attend our Maths and English parents’ morning on Tuesday; Y1 attended the Science Museum; Reception attended a trip to Lavender Pond; Y5&6 have amazed us with their production of ‘Into the Woods’ this week and children from Reception – Ye6 all took part in an Easter service in Church this morning.
Do be reminded we finish for the Easter Holidays TODAY – 4th April. This will be a HALF DAY – 13:30 Old Jamaica Road/13:15 Alexis St. Also note there is no after school club provision on this final day of term.
Our full newsletter, together with a refreshed diary date sheet and flyers for events in our local area over the Easter break, are all attached at the bottom of this page.
Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community a lovely, happy, healthy and safe Easter holiday! We look forward to seeing everyone back on

God bless, from the St. James’ team.
