Year 7 & 8 Family Games Night POSTPONED
|
Following the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the UK the school have taken the decision to sadly postpone this event.
However.... we hope the event will return in the Spring/Summer term as part of our 50th Anniversary events and if the weather is nice it may even be outside! Thank you so much to the 115 people who RSVP'd. We were wonderfully surprised to see how many of you were keen to come along! Also many thanks to the 3 families who had already made a ticket donation to help towards the cost of the event - we will be in contact soon to arrange a refund or to arrange for it to carry forward to the rescheduled event. |
Jays Youth Club

Remind your children about JAYS Youth Club based at St James' Church. As far as we are aware Joe, Georgina and Naomi are still looking forward to welcoming the kids every Tuesdays afterschool during term time between 15:30 - 17:00.
