poster image highlighting upcoming SATS week and wishing luck to all involved.

Another short, yet busy and productive week! Our Mini-Marathon at KS2 was a HUGE success last Friday – very well done to all the children for taking part with such enthusiasm and THANK YOU all for such generous donations through sponsorship.

Our BIG Coffee Morning was very well-attended and informative with a range of different agencies – many thanks to Mrs Brenta for organising this.

Swimming lessons continue along with more sports events for classes/teams on the horizon.

Our Collective Worship theme has continued to be based around the lead up to Pentecost, The Holy Spirit, and events following Easter.

Our full newsletter is attached below, together with a diary dates sheet and information fliers regarding our upcoming Cultural Diversity Day and 3 x free workshops for children with our ex-pupil and highly regarding sculptor, Xavier Leopold.

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