A Message from our Headteacher
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to our latest St. James newsletter. It is always wonderful to share some of the learning, achievements and special moments taking place across our school community.
At St. James, every member of our school is a gift from God and we encourage every child to do their very best. Our children continue to make us proud through their enthusiasm for learning, their kindness towards one another and the contribution they make to our school family.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We hope you enjoy catching up with everything that has been happening at St. James.
