Latest Newsletter - Friday 21st November 2025
Another busy week full of super achievements and great learning from the children. We’ve conducted Nursery and Reception tours, individual photos were taken on Wednesday and will be available to buy online and be delivered to school before long and we've had a non-uniform day and Bake Sale (Alexis St after school) in support of our school fund where we are starting to save again for further playground development projects. Our sincere thanks to you for your generous support!
Our Collective Worship theme has continued to be based around ‘Inter-Faith’, looking at other world religions and finding comparisons and differences with Christianity. Next week we’ll begin to think about Advent.
Our full newsletter and an updated diary sheet is attached below, together with information on today's after-school Messy Church event, making Christmas decorations.
Wishing you, along with our whole community, a super weekend.
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
