St James E-News 

17th December 2020

Welcome to the St James Primary School's E-News, a weekly roundup of the latest goings on at the school.

Latest Headteachers Blog

Dear Parents,

We've (almost) reached the end of the term and I'm sure you'll agree it's been an interesting one, but throughout it all we've tried to keep the spirit of St James alive and kicking! I hope you've enjoyed our Nativity video and Christmas message from the staff and this week the children have enjoyed a Christmas lunch, Christmas Panto paid for by the PTA and class Christmas parties. Tomorrow Reverend Hannah is joining us for our virtual wishing service, our traditional end to the Autumn term where we sing carols and make wishes for the future. 

Be sure to watch the staff Christmas message to our St James family into todays News Blog.

Throughout the pandemic we have always been impressed with the attitude and resilience of the children, so I thought I would finish by sharing a poem written this week by one of our pupils. 

Have a wonderful Christmas,

Valerie Elliott
