April is the Month of the Military Child, and this year we were proud to recognise, celebrate, and support these incredible young people through our Dandelion Day.

A huge thank you to our special guests for taking the time to visit and share in such a meaningful day. We are especially grateful to our wonderful military children for their courage and openness in sharing their stories — we all learned something new and inspiring.
Thank you to everyone who showed their support by wearing yellow and donating so generously. Together, we raised an amazing £204 for Little Troopers, helping to make a real difference for military families. ❤️

To mark British Science Week, our brilliant Year 6 pupils took on the exciting challenge of organising their very own STEM Fair—and every class in the school was invited to join the fun!

The hall was buzzing with excitement as children explored hands‑on activities and mind‑boggling mini‑experiments created and run entirely by Year 6. Curiosity was everywhere, and so were the smiles!

Our young scientists led investigations into questions such as:

🔍 What is density?
🌊 Why do some things float while others sink?
🧩 Why are puzzles so puzzling?
🍋 How can a lemon make electricity?
🏃‍♂️ How does friction affect motion?
🔗 Why do pulleys make lifting easier?
🥚 Can you really make an egg bounce?
🚆 What makes an electromagnetic train move?
🪙 When you flip a coin, are there really more heads than tails?

From floating experiments to lemon batteries and bouncing eggs, children were inspired to ask questions, investigate, test, and discover—everything STEM Week is all about!

A huge well done to Year 6 for their enthusiasm, creativity, and fantastic explanations. And thank you to all classes who came along ready to explore the wonders of science!

🔬✨ Stay curious!

What a fantastic day for our brilliant Year 2 football team! They played their hearts out, winning 3 out of 4 matches and showing incredible teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the tournament.

Every player demonstrated true resilience—whenever they fell, they got straight back up, ready to go again with a smile. Their positive attitude and support for one another were just as impressive as their football skills.

We’re so proud to share that the team earned medals, certificates, and even House Points for their outstanding effort and behaviour. 🥇📜💫

A huge well done to our young athletes—you’ve made us all proud! ⚽

Welcome back to an exciting new term! We are officially kicking off with a spring in our step and a massive focus on risk taking and trying new things!
Whether it’s speaking up in a new subject, sharing ideas that might be different to others, or knowing the risks but still having a go —remember: you’re braver than you think!

There’s so much going on this term:

🏆 Game On! Our sports calendar is packed. From netball to rugby, basketball to football, we can’t wait to see our teams show off that grit and teamwork. Get those kits ready!

🌍 Adventure Awaits! We’re taking learning outside the classroom with the many school trips heading out this term. Year 3 started us off visiting the Polka Theatre for a fabulous showing of The Firework-Maker’s Daughter, Year 6 are upping their creativity with a trip to the National Gallery and our Eco Warriors will represent St Agatha’s at the up-coming Eco Conference..and there's so much more to come!

🎨 More Than the Classroom: Clubs are back in full swing with morning and afterschool clubs available. From budding athletes to mini creators there’s space for everyone to try something new.

It’s a packed schedule, but the heart of the term is the incredible learning taking place in our classrooms. New topics, new challenges, and so many opportunities to shine! ✨

👏 Huge congratulations to our amazing Year 5 & 6 netballers!
On Friday, they took part in the Borough Knock-Out Competition against Malden Manor. It was an incredibly close match that could have gone either way, finishing 5–4 to Malden Manor.

What a game! Both teams showed fantastic skill, determination, and true sportsmanship. Although it wasn’t our day, we’re so proud of you all – that match was worthy of a final!

🌟 Players: Aoife, Eloise, Rosemary, Freddie, Hannah, Evelyn, Isabel, Flynn & Armin.
💪 Better luck next time, St Agatha’s – you were brilliant!

Following our recent inspection, the Catholic Schools Inspectorate report for St Agatha’s School has now been published — and we are thrilled with the outcome!

St Agatha’s has been awarded Outstanding across all areas, with the report highlighting our many wonderful strengths, including our brilliant teaching and exceptional pastoral care. 🌟

A huge congratulations to our dedicated staff and superb pupils who have worked so hard for this achievement. This is a proud moment for our whole school community!
