I just wanted to let you all know of the huge success of "Ahoy". This really was a magnificent evening in the Guildhall and our Year 6 children were truly superb! They had the rather tricky job of opening the entire show and did so with real quality. You could clearly hear every word they sang, could feel the joy in their faces and see the pride in the way they performed. It really was incredibly moving and yet another one of those moments where we all felt very proud to be part of their triumph. Thank you to the parents who, even late last night, sent emails of congratulation for the children and today others have arrived too. Thank you so much once again for you support as parents with this really important event and for getting the children up on time and into school despite a very late night for all!
Thank you too to the parents who are beginning to add comments to the blog! Please do continue and encourage others to join in. I love being able to share much more with you now and hopefully you will find this way of communicating equally positive and enjoyable.

What a wonderful end of the week we had on Friday with the Summer Fair and Family Barbecue; it was absolutely delightful! We have had so much positive feedback and we are really grateful for this. So many people need to be thanked for the success of this super event, particularly the members of the PTA, staff and parents who worked so hard to make the event a success. We look forward to the next event with great anticipation.
Preparations are now in the final stages for the Portsmouth Festivities tonight and the Year 6 participation in 'AHOY'. They have worked so hard with the contributions they have made to this important, high profile event. Yesterday's afternoon rehearsal went very well and the children not only looked very smart but sounded super. We look forward to the performance tonight at the Guildhall at 7pm in front of a thousand strong audience! We will, of course, let you know how the whole evening goes!

Welcome!!

Welcome to our new blog! This is an exciting development at St Jude's which gives us the opportunity to keep you even more informed with all we do at school on a day to day basis and more. We will use the blog for a number of different and exciting reasons but mainly a place for me as Headteacher to express my thoughts and views on things which have happened at school or to do with the wider world of education. The blog will undoubtedly grow and evolve with time and I look forward to hearing your comments in return.

St Jude's has a new blog!

Welcome to our new school blog! We will be posting news and much more here.
