Latest Newsletter - Friday 25th September 2026

Another productive and busy week at St. James’! Our attention has been focused around Religious Education in light of our SIAMS Inspection on Monday. Year 4 attended Hampstead Heath for their Geography field trip; Year 3 went pond-dipping in Canada Water for their Geography and Science learning; we’ve marked European Day of Languages in school; the London PE Network has delivered Year 6 girls’ PE sessions and Platform Cricket have attended for Year 4 PE sessions too. Clubs have also now started on a Monday for the Autumn term. In Collective Worship we are continuing to look at our termly theme of The Sermon on the Mount; this week we’ve thought about the emotion ‘Anger’, thinking of how we can reconcile our differences and forgive.

SIAMS Inspection

I’m pleased to inform we had a super SIAMS Inspection on Monday where some VERY lovely things were fed back to us about our school and community. This remains confidential until our report is published (likely 12th October) however I just wanted to thank everyone, in particular the parents who came in to speak to the inspector. Your input was so appreciated and I’m sure will be reflected in what will be a great report when it comes. This will be shared when we have it.

Please see below our full newsletter together with a variety of fliers. We look forward to seeing lots of you at the Run Kids Run event at Southwrk Park on Sunday.

Wishing you, along with our whole community, a super weekend
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
