Target reached!
What an incredible achievement from everyone involved! Thank you so much to the children, parents, careers, staff and ex-St Agatha’s families who led or supported a range of fundraising initiatives over the course of the last few months – this is truly remarkable!
Year 6 had a great experience at Henley Fort. There were many highlights: being in role as an Air Raid Warden, such as putting out fires with hoses; and throwing pretend grenades as part of the Home Guard.
The children also really enjoyed canoeing in the centre of Guilford, scrambling up the climbing wall to see the cathedral and working in teams to complete the orienteering tasks and to cross the challenge course. Staying in yurts, lit by fairy lights with their friends completed the experience.
Great fun was had by all.
A great day was had at Hampton Court by Year 2, despite the weather. The children were thoroughly exhausted by the end of it, but they now know a great deal more about The Tudors.
Year 5 had an exciting three days at Thames Young Morniers.
They explored the lake on stand-up paddle boards and kayaks, and played games in open canoes.
Shelters, which held off the rain, were expertly created and fires were lit for warmth.
The children showed resilience throughout, took many risks and supported each other when challenges required teamwork.
Well done to Year 5!
The sun shone last week on a very successful St Agatha's Sports Day. The children made a huge effort in all their events, whether they were running in races, leaping over hurdles, throwing javelins or jumping the long and high jumps.
At the end of the day, all the points were added up, and St Francis won the House Cup! In very close joint second place were St Patrick's and St Bernadette's.
A big well done to everyone who took part.
Congratulations to our wonderful school choir who recently took part in the Festival of School Choirs at the Rose Theatre. St Agatha's joined other Kingston Primary Schools in the concert which was led by composer James Redwood and featured three specially commissioned songs with the theme of 'story'.
For their individual song, St Agatha's gave a polished performance of Fire by Jonathan Dove, accompanied by musicians from Kingston Music Service. Well done everyone!
Massive congratulations to the Year 5 & 6 netballers who played two matches yesterday, in very heated conditions, against Christchurch New Malden. Both teams showed fantastic sportsmanship and determination with some amazing shooting and defending.
Both matches ended up in well-deserved draws - great effort, well done everyone!

He is Risen!
Year 3 have been learning about the Paschal or Easter candle so we visited St Agatha’s Church to see the 2024 Paschal candle. During our visit, we also looked at the beautiful paintings depicting The Stations of the Cross and we saw the empty tomb reminding us that Jesus, our light, is risen. Alleluia!
Wow! What an interesting morning Nursery and Year 1 had learning all about animals with Mary from Wild Science. We met, touched and held Sir Pent the American corn snake, Hop the Australian tree frog, Milly the African giant millipede, Flick the desert leopard gecko and finally Dougal, the Chinchilla from Chile.
Thank you Wild Science!
Well done to our fabulous St Agatha’s School Choir who ended the term with their Spring Concert.
The evening began with the Choir singing the action song Hand Jive, followed by a lilting Skye Boat Song. Then, the audience was entertained with some wonderful solo performances on piano, guitar, violin, trumpet, voice and cello. Well done to our talented soloists. The concert ended with everyone singing Rio Grande in two parts.
The Choir is looking forward to a well deserved rest and will be back rehearsing at 8am on Tuesday 16th April in preparation for the highlight of their Choral Year, The Festival of Primary School Choirs at The Rose Theatre on Wednesday 19th June.
