What a busy and long half term to start the academic year! There have been so many achievements and things to be proud of – a highlight of this week was the children’s confident and skilful concert performance in church; thank you so much for attending for your generous contributions as ticket sales. Thanks also, as always, to Miss Jess for putting this together.
Lots to look forward to next half term, including Christmas nativities and performances, lots of trips, sports events and activities, and a continuation of super learning from our children! Do look at the ‘dates for your diaries’ letter as usual for upcoming events, attached below.

Our Collective Worship theme this week focused on the Parables and Teachings of Jesus – after half term we’ll explore Faith, Remembrance, Hope and Love before we start with Advent.

Wishing you, along with our whole community, a really lovely, restful and fun Autumn half term break! We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back, refreshed and raring to go, on Monday 4th November at the usual school times.
God bless, from the St. James’ team.
