Dear Parents,
Yesterday Michelle, our school cook, left St James Primary to work at another site. Michelle has been with us for a number of years and we'd like to thank her for her commitment to the school. We are organising a collection for Michelle and if you would like to make a donation, please speak to a member of the admin team.
Please can we remind you that the children should still be keeping the number of items they bring into school to an absolute minimum. For this reason, backpacks are not permitted. We hope that we can start to return to some sort of normality after the half-term, once the government reviews it's guidance to schools.
If a member of your household displays symptoms which may be Covid, please follow the instructions below, ensuring that you inform the school office as soon as possible and do not send your children to school until you have received confirmation from us.
Finally, we are busy making preparations to open our swimming pool and will be contacting you before half-term with further details. Let's hope the weather warms up!
Best wishes for a lovely weekend,
Valerie Elliott
School Notices
- KS2 Homework - the children have homework on Classroom Secrets Kids. The children should have their login details but should contact their class teacher via the class email if they don't.

They contain craft, activity and cooking ideas plus a skipping rope, chunky chalks and balloons. They will be available to collect at the school office on a first come, first served basis.
