‘What is Christmas like at RAMJS?‘
When asked the question by our Chair of Governors, Ken Wales, ‘What is Christmas like at RAMJS?’ it seemed the perfect topic for our school blog. Not only do I get to think about my favourite season, I can link it to one of the greatest books I believe was ever written, ‘A Christmas Carol’. Hark, the Herald…
Reading for Pleasure – Part 1
So what do we mean when we say “reading for pleasure”? Some would ask “is there any other kind of reading?” For these people, any text is an invitation to read. The back of a cereal packet whilst waiting for the kettle to boil; the abandoned shopping list left behind in the trolley at Morrison’s;…
Digital Leaders Special: Why is computing in education so important?
Here at RAMJS our mission is to become masters of technology, not slaves to it. Technology is everywhere and plays an important role in our lives now, as it will increasingly do so in the future. We want to be creators not consumers who aimlessly scroll the web and ‘play’ on an iPad. Rather than…

A Whole New World

Anything is possible!
I am delighted to welcome everyone back into the building; the hustle and bustle of every day life is music to my ears and I love the excitement September brings as it gives us (in school terms) a second New Year start. We have talked to the children this week about ‘sowing the seed’ that…

A weekend of adventure and racism in sport
Another weekend of adventure awaited Mr N and I as we took ourselves off to watch the F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone. Like Downton Abbey, Sharks and Christmas, I am an avid watcher or Formula 1.
