I was very proud of all of our children today during our 2 minutes silence at 11am for Remembrance Day. You can see from the pictures that classes have worked really hard in learning about remembrance day.

We have made a mistake in the diary and we have got the wrong Friday for Children in Need. I am very sorry for this mistake.
We will still go ahead with our non-uniform day for ‘Children in Need’ tomorrow (Friday 12th November) and you can donate to the official website if you choose to.
We have organised the non-uniform day for PTA donations on Friday 19th January (see PTA newsletter). This is the reason we can’t move ‘Children in Need’ to the official day on Friday 19th November.
I am very sorry for the mistake and confusion.
Nursery, Reception, & KS1 (Yr1 & Y2) – Christmas items. This can be anything

Good afternoon,
Due to rising case numbers in school and rate of spreading, parents evening will be cancelled to prevent disruption to learning and to keep people safe. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
More information will go out this week.
Take care of yourselves and have a great evening.

I hope you have all had a great half term break.
There have been a number of pupils and staff who have tested positive over the half term break and I hope everyone is feeling better.
We need to know when pupils become symptomatic or tested positive and when they will be back in school if they are well enough.
Please email the NHS test and trace notification to office@st-james.derbyshire.sch.uk
Please fill out the form below and take care of yourselves.
Please follow government guidance and don’t send your child into school if they have the following symptoms.
– a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
– a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
– a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
Please get a PCR test and they can only come back into school if the result is negative.
Mr Woodward
