Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
The RE Ambassadors collected together all the generous Harvest donations from St Agatha's children, and with Mrs Cahill took them down to St Agatha's Church.
Our donations will be combined with everything collected at the church and taken to Dons Foodbank.
On Thursday 3rd October, we marked our International day by learning about different countries of heritage within our school community. Our particular focus was on food and all year groups learned about Fairtrade in assembly. After school, we held an international food fair in the playground selling a variety of delicious treats made by our wonderful parent volunteers.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this event.

Year 6 combined their Food for Life DT topic with International Day to make fresh pasta with tomato and basil sauce. The children were very surprised how few ingredients they needed and how fabulous it tasted although kneading and rolling was very hard work! Some of the children even practised vacuum cleaning as well - superb tidying up.
St Agatha's RE Ambassadors joined 130 Catholic schools at The Beginning of the New School Year Mass at St George's Cathedral, London. These pupils were asked to renew their commitment to serving the community of St Agatha's. The mass was led by the Archbishop of Southwark, John Wilson. The pupils stated that they were very proud that they were able to represent St Agatha's on this occasion.
On Thursday 12th September, the school will be holding a Class Information Evening for all year groups from Nursery to Year 6. There will be an opportunity to meet your child's new teacher as well as have a chat with members of the Senior Leadership Team.

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!
