A big welcome back to all our St Agatha's children and families! We're looking forward to a busy term full of learning and fun.
After 13 years of dedicated service, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Headteacher. π
Yesterday’s special send-off was a fitting tribute to everything Mrs Cahill has given to our school. The children put on a truly wonderful afternoon, showcasing heartfelt goodbye performances through song πΆ, poetry π, and dance π.
We thank Mrs Cahill for her hard work, commitment, and unwavering dedication to St Agatha’s and wish her every happiness and success in the years ahead. β€οΈβ¨
π± A huge thank you to the parents and children who have worked so hard on St Agatha's garden. Thanks to your dedication, enthusiasm and hours of effort, the garden is now flourishing and full of life.
From courgettes and potatoes to pears and raspberries, it is wonderful to see the incredible results of everyone's hard work πΏππ₯
22 schools came together for a fantastic celebration of country dancing ππΊ
Year 2 took part in six dances, showing off a mix of different formations – all that practise really paid off!
Weeks of hard work, coordination, timing and teamwork led to such a brilliant performance.π They did incredibly well (even in the heat! βοΈ).
The final dance saw adults being dragged in to join… chaotic but SO much fun.
A lovely reminder from the compere too — country dancing is such an important part of our culture, and it’s something special to share with each other π
And it’s not over yet… the children will be performing again at Mrs Cahill’s leaving picnic ππ Watch this space!
Well done Year 2!
Doves class had a fantastic time during this week’s science lesson, exploring microhabitats and investigating the question: π Do woodlice prefer damp or dry conditions?
Armed with trowels and lots of curiosity, the children hunted for woodlice in our outdoor learning area—searching under logs and leaves to record their findings. πͺ΅π
A fantastic hands-on lesson full of teamwork, discovery, and outdoor learning! ππ
We can’t wait to see what they discover next! 

We’re so excited to be in the process of opening our brand new Outdoor Learning Area – a sunny space designed to support learning through play, exploration and hands on experiences.

π± An outdoor classroom
πΌ A garden area

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. β€οΈ
The National Year of Reading!
Throughout the Spring Term we have continued to celebrate reading in every corner of school life! Reading isn’t just about books… it’s about following what children already love.
π¦Έ Superheroes
β½ Football
π¦ Dinosaurs
π΅ Dancing
π³ Cooking
Every story, label, sign, recipe, and fact can spark imagination and help children grow into confident, curious readers.
Together, let’s make 2026 the year we discover new worlds, share magical moments, and build a lifelong love of reading — all through the everyday things we already enjoy! ππ
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 handsβon activities and mindβboggling miniβexperiments created and run entirely by Year 6. Curiosity was everywhere, and so were the smiles!
Our young scientists led investigations into questions such as:
π What is density?
π Why do some things float while others sink?
π§© Why are puzzles so puzzling?
π How can a lemon make electricity?
πβοΈ How does friction affect motion?
π Why do pulleys make lifting easier?
π₯ Can you really make an egg bounce?
π What makes an electromagnetic train move?
πͺ 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!
π¬β¨ Stay curious!
π Year 1 had an amazing visit from a real black cab driver as part of their DT project on wheels, axles and chassis! They’ll be designing and making their own London taxis soon… πβ¨
π€ Our younger children enjoyed a fun friendship workshop, while other classes showed off their skills in action packed skateboarding sessions! πΉπ₯
π Year 5 smashed it in their basketball competition! Brilliant teamwork and fantastic determination ππ₯
π Eco Warriors + School Council had a brilliant time at the Eco Conference, learning new ways to look after our planet and returning full of eco spirit and big ideas for St Agatha’s! πβ¨
πͺ Feast of St Agatha’s!
While older children attended Mass at St Agatha’s Church, Nursery celebrated St Agatha, the patron saint of bakers by making healthy cookies and tasting breads from around the world. They also shared stories about resilience and never giving up π
β¨ What a busy, wonderful week—full of smiles, energy and positive moments.

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. π₯ππ«
A huge well done to our young athletes—you’ve made us all proud! β½
Our Nursery to Year 2 children had an amazing time bringing Midnight in the Toyshop to life through drama! π§Έπ
“We enjoyed running around looking for the key to the toy box!” π
“When the shop was closed, we had to freeze… or pretend to be asleep!” π΄πͺ
So much imagination, movement, and excitement as the toyshop came alive after dark! π
