Latest Newsletter - Friday 13th March 2026

This week children have been visiting our STEM Fair and have enjoyed learning all things science-related. Many thanks to Miss Rozier for setting this up for us. Y1&2 attended a trip to the Royal Festival Hall to see and engage with a concert delivered by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and 6 Leopold engaged in a medical and first aid workshop in school delivered by practitioners from King’s College. Many thanks for sending in Easter Egg donations for our tombolas in exchange for non-uniform. If you haven’t and would like to, you can always send one in next week instead.
Our Collective Worship theme continues with the Gospel according to Mark, discussing Jesus’s life in the lead up to Easter. This week we’ve looked at the transfiguration, Jesus & the children, and how we can serve others.
Please see attached below our full newsletter and diary dates sheet together with a flyer regarding the SEND Reform Consultation with SIAMS (for parents and carers of children with SEND).
Wishing you and our whole community a great weekend!
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
