Our Year 5 & 6 girls had a fantastic time last week representing St James' with Rochdale Borough School Games Partnership at the Netball Skills Festival AND their first football event! What an incredible performance in each event! 🌟
🏀 Netball - The girls took part in a range of brilliant drills to sharpen their skills, improve their court movement, and build up their confidence all while having absolute fun!
⚽ Football - For their first time playing together as a team, their teamwork, communication, and support for one another was outstanding. To top it off, we saw some amazing goals scored!
👏 Super proud of their teamwork and sportsmanship. Well done, girls! You all represented St James' beautifully.

D6 is on as usual this Saturday!
Is your in Year 5 or 6? Bring them along to our peer coaching session this weekend! It’s brilliant for building confidence, as pupils get to take the lead and choose what they want to work on - whether that’s tackling tricky maths, polishing up on spellings or practising a new skill.
They’ll get support working alongside their classmates and our fantastic Year 9 student coaches - plus, breakfast is included to keep them fuelled and ready to go! 🥐🥞

A massive thank you to all of our amazing parents, carers, children, and staff for making parents' evening such a warm, positive, and successful event. It was wonderful to catch up, share progress, and celebrate everything our pupils have achieved so far.
A special thank you goes to our school nurse and the team from home-start for taking the time to attend and offer invaluable expert advice and support to our school community 💙
We’d also like to give a big shout-out to everyone who took a moment to fill out our proud clouds ☁️💖 Reading all the wonderful messages about what makes you so proud of your little ones brought huge smiles to our faces. They are a constant reminder of how special our children are!
Thank you all for your continued partnership and support.

As part of our welcome evening for new colleagues, the Matthew Moss team took time to reflect on their own journeys into teaching and the power of shared experience.
We were then joined by Stephanie Carlin ( bit.ly/4yRufxz ), who delivered an inspiring session on Functional Fluency - the art of understanding human communication and building balanced, effective relationships.
By helping us better understand our own responses and interactions, Functional Fluency empowers staff to build stronger, more supportive connections with each other and our young people. For our learners, this means a classroom environment shaped by empathy, clarity, and mutual respect, giving them the emotional and social confidence to truly flourish.
We are excited to see the positive impact of this learning across our whole school community.
