News & Events

Latest Newsletter - Friday 13th November 2026

A busy week in school with: some fascinating continued History Learning; Y3 History workshops; a moving Armistice service in church; Cezanne class attending a Boxing trip with the London PE Network, and it’s super to be celebrating and supporting Children in Need today with a Talent Show! Individual photos were taken across both sites this week – a QR code should have come home to make orders. These can always be delivered to school to save on P&P costs and will be handed to you when they arrive.

In Collective Worship we are continuing to look at our termly theme of The Sermon on the Mount; this week we’ve reflected upon ‘Judging Others’ and considered how we focus on ourselves.

Please see below our full newsletter attached together with an updated diary sheet and details of your invitation to Young Voices.

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