Faith in Action 2023

We would like to introduce you to our new Faith in Action team who are are ready to  follow Jesus’ example in serving others in their school and wider community.

On Tuesday 24th January, we will celebrate Chinese New Year in school. As red is considered a colour of good luck and joy, the children are invited to come in non-uniform wearing something
red. There will be no charge for this. Our cook, Sara, will also provide a Chinese selection of food at lunchtime, including Vegetable Chow Mein, Chinese Chicken Curry and ice-cream with a Chinese Cookie. If your child does not want the option of Chinese food on this day, please provide them with a Packed Lunch.

Please find the menu below.

Sara our cook and our kitchen staff will be preparing a rip-roaring American themed menu composed by Chadwick’s Kitchen on Thursday 19th January.

Please see the menu below.

Please help us to evaluate our Catholic Life, Religious Education and Collective Worship at St James School.

We value your feedback and would appreciate you completing the following questionnaire link by Friday 20th January.

This will be invaluable in helping us to develop further as a Catholic School Community. Thank you in advance.

Take a look at the New Trust Website!

Every year in England, school children in Reception and Year 6 have their height and weight checked at school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme. Height and weight measurements are used to calculate weight status. This information is collected because it is in the public interest to understand how many children are overweight, healthy weight or underweight and offer support to parents where required. Your child’s class will take part in this year’s programme.

Please refer to the letter linked below which includes full information about the height and weight checks for Reception and Year 6 parents and carers.

Pre-measurement letter for parents and carers

It’s wonderful to have all of our lovely children back after the Christmas break. We would like to thank all of our parents for the beautiful gifts and cards received at the end of the term, although this is never expected it is vey much appreciated.

Mrs Franklin would like to extend her thanks to all of our families who celebrated her retirement after 31 years with St James’. To say she was overwhelmed by everyone’s kindness would be an understatement. She will truly miss all of the children, staff and families.
