At St James we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint by recycling. We love the world that God entrusted us with and want to always take care of our beautiful Earth. With this in mind we are holding a uniform recycling table after school in the hall each day this week. Please come along and pick up your nearly new/used uniform for FREE from 3:30 – 4pm each day.
Grass Roots at St James
The week will involve various sports; including football, cricket, gymnastics, rounders, tennis, hockey and will involve fun based activities such as water games, crash mat tournaments and tug of war competitions.

We raised £2000 for CAFOD
St James took part in a whole school Sponsored Summer Walk together in aid of CAFOD. It was absolutely brilliant to see so many friendly faces. The walk was a massive success and was enjoyed by our whole school community.
Boy did we respond to Pope Francis’ invitation in Laudato Si’ to “work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted us” WE RAISED £2000 FOR CAFOD. Wow!
St James are proud to support this charity who fight to make sure that every woman, man and child can live a full and dignified life. It just shows that when we come together we can do so much. Thank you to everyone!
You can learn more about CAFOD and the hard work they do via this link cafod.org.uk
St James Summer fete raises £1500
Our Summer Fete was once again a HUGE success. Our children and families love this event and it really brings our school community together. We would like to thank you all for your donations of toys, books, raffle and tombola prizes without all of the support from our school community we really couldn’t do it! Special thanks to Mrs Hudson and all of our school staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to organise and prepare for the day. A special thanks to Sara and her daughters, our parents and grandparents who volunteered on the day.
Our Summer Fete raised over £1500 for our School Fund, this is so important for all of our children and means that we can continue to subsidise lovely activities throughout the terms to offer enrichment opportunities for all. We can’t thank everyone enough and I’m sure you’ll all agree it’s always a pleasure to see Mr Monaghan in the stocks

CAFOD Summer Walk
Our whole school took part in a Summer Sponsored Walk in response to Pope Francis’ invitation in Laudato Si’ to “work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted us.”
We hoped to raise as much money as we could for CAFOD so that they can continue their mission to reach out to people living in poverty with practical help. You can find out more about CAFOD and the wonderful work they do via this link https://cafod.org.uk Our children and families enjoyed coming together for this occasion and it was great to see so many of you.
We are completely astounded by the generosity and compassion of our St James school community. So far we have raised a jaw dropping amount of money to help our brothers and sisters who are in such desperate need. The total so far stands at just over £900 with monies still arriving daily.
This proves that alone we can only do only a little but together we can do so much! Well done and thank you to all!

CBBC Style it Out
CBBC are looking for budding young designers aged 10-14 years old, (they must be aged 11 by September 1st 2023)
In each episode we will see young creative minds come together to create bold and colourful outfits reusing, re-claiming and upcycling fabulous fashion by using only vintage, second-hand and sustainable materials.
The children will need to be great designers but do not necessarily have to be great with a sewing machine as they’ll be paired with a creative who can help them cut/sew/stitch/paint their outfits within a few hours!
