Week at a glance 7-11 July 2025

Dear Parents and St James family,

 

We sadly say goodbye to a few members of staff and PTA member, who are leaving St James at the end of term.

Mrs Natalie Long, Teaching Assistant in Reception and Year 1, who we know the children and St James' team will miss greatly.

Mr Bashir Khan, who was our Caretaker, is leaving us to concentrate on his golf swing!

Nathalie Dawson, PTA, who has been instrumental in organising PTA events and due to her immense efforts has made the events a huge success.

Mrs Kate Wood, our Pastoral manager, is retiring. This is a great loss to our whole St James family, she has been a huge support to children, parents and staff. She will be immensely missed by us all.

 

We wish them all the very best in their next adventures. Look out for the July 'Scoop' Newsletter where we will be thanking them and celebrating their contribution to our school.
