Our Nursery to Year 2 children had an amazing time bringing Midnight in the Toyshop to life through drama! 🧸🎭
“We enjoyed running around looking for the key to the toy box!” 🔑
“When the shop was closed, we had to freeze… or pretend to be asleep!” 😴🪀
So much imagination, movement, and excitement as the toyshop came alive after dark! 🌟
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! ✨
What a magical week it has been!
🎄✨ Our beautiful carol concert and nativity performances have truly filled our hearts with joy and festive spirit. The children have been absolutely amazing—singing their hearts out, remembering their lines, and sharing the true meaning of Christmas with such enthusiasm and confidence.
A huge thank you to all the parents for your support, encouragement, and for helping with costumes and rehearsals at home. These moments create memories that last a lifetime, and we couldn’t do it without you. ❤️
Wishing you all a wonderful festive season filled with love, laughter, and peace. 🎅🤶
👏 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!
🌱 This week in Nursery…
Our little gardeners have been busy planting bulbs in the garden! 🪴✨
Now we have to be patient, and wait until Spring to see their beautiful flowers. 🌸
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!
What an amazing day we had on our trip to The Holly Lodge Centre in Richmond Park!
We became real-life nature explorers, loving the outdoor classroom where we learned all about the birds, creatures and local plants that call the park home. We saw them in their natural habitat and built some nests in the trees!
We were careful, curious, and kind to nature — just like real scientists! 🔬💚
A big thank you to everyone at @hollylodgecentre who were so kind and interesting and helped make our outdoor learning day so special.
Let’s keep exploring, asking questions, and looking after the world around us. 🌍
🎉🌾 Harvest Collection Success! 🌾🎉
A huge thank you and well done to all our amazing pupils, families, and staff for your generous contributions to our Harvest Charity Collection!
Your kindness and community spirit have made a real difference, and we’re proud to be supporting Dons Local Action Group with your donations. 🙌
Together, we’ve shown that even the smallest hands can make a big impact. 🌟
Year 5 have been making and learning about oracle bones.
St Agatha's RE Ambassadors joined over a hundred other Catholic schools for The Beginning of the New School Year Mass at St George's Cathedral, London. The Cathedral was packed with school children and the Mass was led by the Archbishop of Southwark, the Most Reverend John Wilson. Two of our pupils were proud to be selected to lead the entrance procession where they carried the Jubilee Candle and Pilgrims’ Passport to the altar.
St Agatha’s Mini Vinnies from Years 4 and 5 were delighted to attend a Mission Together Mass, at St Theodores Church, Hampton, celebrated by Bishop Jim Curry.
It was a wonderful opportunity to bring together pupils from the Diocese of Westminster, Southwark and Arundel& Brighton.
After Mass, there was a chance to socialise with children from other schools whilst enjoying juice and biscuits.
Our School Councillors and House Captains had an amazing day visiting the Houses of Parliament!
They enjoyed a fascinating guided tour and took part in a brilliant workshop all about how laws are made.
What a memorable experience for them!
