Latest Newsletter - Friday 25th April 2025
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.
