Announcements

A busy final week of the academic year! Years 5&6 performed wonderfully in their Violin Recital on Monday, showing super progress; Reception children performed with great enthusiasm and confidence in their Summer Production on Tuesday; Nursery children had their graduation and we’ve all been busy preparing for the end of term in many different ways. Our farewell service to our Year 6s always provokes a mixture of excitement and sadness as we remember our time together. They performed brilliantly in their SATs and are ready to leave us for their next step. To them and anyone leaving us, we will miss you very much and send all our very best wishes.

Do remember – we break up for the Summer Holidays today at 13:15 (Alexis St) and 13:30 (Old Jamaica Road). There is no after school club provision at either site on this final day of term.

Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community
 a wonderful, happy and safe Summer holiday!
God bless, from the St. James’ team.

internetmatters.org have partnered with Tesco to develop digital toolkits to help families set controls and privacy settings on new and old devices that they use, along with plenty of advice on how to deal with online risks. They've included tips on how to make the most of a digital world, based on what children like to do.

The links to each age grouped section is below and we have attached at the bottom of this page their individual guides grouped by age with additional information.

Everyone can have a difficult moment from time to time. Being constantly online can make students feel like there's not enough time to gather their thoughts.

These short meditation videos can help you step away from digital distractions and get through to the other side.

Below is the link to three short videos posted by BBC Bitesize that demonstrate how children can use the internet for moments of relaxation, reflection or to help deal with difficult moments.

We are highlighting the many useful resources provided by internetmatters.org when investigating ways for you and your family to remain cybersecure. 

Cyber security is an important part of daily life, whether you’re connecting to public WiFi or browsing at home. Learn how to keep your family secure with expert guidance. 

Cyber security means protection in the online space. Therefore, it can refer to the security settings you use on your online social and video gaming accounts or the software you use on your family’s devices.

Good cyber security means the risk of your family’s personal information falling into the wrong hands is less likely. As such, it’s important to implement security measures that protect your devices.

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce the Evelina London School Nursing Service. If you are a parent/carer of a child(ren) at school and are worried about your child’s health and wellbeing, school nurses are here to help. We work in teams across Southwark and Lambeth and you can contact us for confidential advice and support on a wide range of issues. Please see our flyer attached below for further details of the services we can offer.

Please let us know if your child has medical or physical and/or emotional health needs for which they need support. You can text a school nurse on 07520 631130.
