• Making history

  Wed 16 Jul 2025

  A group of Year 4 and 5 pupils had the honour of visiting Sherwood Observatory for the official placing of a time capsule this week.

  The students chosen all worked hard on a piece of writing to describe the world in 60 years’ time. 
  Two Year 4 pupils even had their writing selected to go inside the capsule! Their predictions included robot teachers and drone for clear up the dinner hall!

  All the children met the real life Sheriff of Nottingham and were taken on a tour of the night sky.

  

• Red Nose Day

  Wed 23 Apr 2025

  🎂 Red Nose Day Bake Sale 🍰
  We had a fantastic time celebrating Red Nose Day with our school-wide bake sale! Children from all year groups took part in the competition, showcasing their amazing creativity and baking skills. The tables were filled with colourful cupcakes, funny-faced biscuits, and some truly show-stopping cakes! It was incredibly difficult for Miss Jackson and Miss Morgan to choose the winners, but in the end, we awarded first, second, and third prizes to three brilliant bakes. Altogether, we raised an incredible £200 for Comic Relief. A huge thank you to everyone who baked, bought, and supported—what a deliciously fun day for a great cause!

• Y6 Hate Crimes Workshop with PCSO Chris Lowe

  Wed 26 Feb 2025

  Y6 children had a Hate Crimes workshop with PCSO Chris Lowe this week where we learnt about the different types of hate crime and the devastating impact they can have on the victims. We discussed Cyberbullying in more depth before being able to see inside the police van! This was a very powerful lesson for the children and we look forward to PCSO Chris returning on 12th March for our knife crime workshop.

• A show to remember

  Thu 19 Dec 2024

  Well done to all our SJS show-stoppers who performed in this year's Christmas show.  Parents and carers were treated to musical performances by pupil's playing a range of instruments and for some students it was their first time playing to an audience!

  Year 3 and 4 sang their hearts out this year and a special 'well done' to all the understudies who stepped-up when needed.
