  • Latest Newsletter - Friday 25th April 2025

    Published 25/04/25

    It’s great to be back and hear about what the children have been doing with their Easter holidays! All are settled and have hit the ground running for what will be a productive (if fairly short!) half term.

    We attended church for a ‘Welcome Back’ service; Year 5 continued with their ‘Brain Buddies’ sessions and Mini Police’ citizenship workshops; 5 Turner have begun their swimming lessons at Downside Fisher and children have enjoyed a non-uniform day in support of ‘Shelter’ and Miss Rudd’s London Marathon challenge on Sunday – we wish her the best of luck with this, and thank you all for your support!

    We have lots of additional information regarding upcoming events in our full newsletter together with an updated diary dates sheet, reminder of school clubs (bookable on the Arbor app from 28th April) and our up and coming coffee morning - all attached below.

    Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community a super weekend.

    God bless, from the St. James’ team.

    Published 03/04/25

    We come to the end of a busy and productive Spring term – we’re so proud, as always, of all our children, their unique skills and talents and all they continue to achieve. This week it was great to see parents and carers attend our Maths and English parents’ morning on Tuesday; Y1 attended the Science Museum; Reception attended a trip to Lavender Pond; Y5&6 have amazed us with their production of ‘Into the Woods’ this week and children from Reception – Ye6 all took part in an Easter service in Church this morning.

    Do be reminded we finish for the Easter Holidays TODAY – 4th April. This will be a HALF DAY – 13:30 Old Jamaica Road/13:15 Alexis St. Also note there is no after school club provision on this final day of term.

    Our full newsletter, together with a refreshed diary date sheet and flyers for events in our local area over the Easter break, are all attached at the bottom of this page.

    Wishing you, our children, and our whole school community a lovely, happy, healthy and safe Easter holiday! We look forward to seeing everyone back on
    Tuesday 22nd April at the normal school times.
    God bless, from the St. James’ team.
