Latest Newsletter - Friday 27th June 2025

We’ve had a busy and productive week both in and out of school – the main highlight being Year 6’s residential trip to PGL, Marchant’s Hill, Surrey, where children had a great time, faced many challenges and engaged with really fun activities for the three days! Reception attended a trip to the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich; KS2  watched a performance delivered by students from St. Saviour’s and St. Olave’s and library visits and swimming lessons continue.

Our Collective Worship theme has continued to focus on ‘Heroes of the Faith’. This week we learnt about Gideon and Jonah and what we can take from these characters in the Bible.

Next week will be our final Assessment Week for the academic year. As always, all we ask is that children try their very best in calm environments to show us what they’ve learnt this year. Children are generally un-phased by these and ready to show us what they know! These assessments will inform end of year judgments which will come home on Annual Reports at the end of term.

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