Latest Newsletter - Friday 17th April 2026

We’ve had a great first week of the Summer term – children have started with their Shakespeare plays and learning ahead of next week’s Shakespeare week, in addition to Geography topic work. We had a lovely welcome back service in church on Monday led by Rev. Dom and a great book event for parents and children on Tuesday – many thanks for attending this!

Our Collective Worship theme for this half term has started with stories from Acts, what we can learn from these and apply to our lives. This theme will continue this half term.

Our full newsletter is attached below, together with an updated Diary Dates sheet, information about Monday after school enrichment clubs for the summer term, swimming information for
5 Turner and tennis for Years 5 and 6 children.

Wishing you and our whole community a wonderful weekend .

God bless, from the St. James’ team.
