WHAT MAKES ST JAMES’ SPECIAL

Curriculum Icons

Curriculum

At St James’ CE Primary School we aim to provide the children with a curriculum which is broad, well balanced and above all
stimulates the children to learn.

In addition to acquiring skills
and knowledge, we aim to help the children to grow in confidence and maturity so that they can enter secondary school, and later, adulthood with the ability to pursue wholeheartedly, academic, social and cultural activities.

It is a curriculum which is both coherent and cohesive.

Our children are at the forefront of everything we do at St James’. We strive for the best possible academic outcomes for
all children and deliver an engaging curriculum full of exciting opportunities which promote a life-long love of learning.

Most importantly, we work tirelessly with families to create independent learners who are adaptable, questioning, curious
and confident in their own ability to achieve their full potential, and children that we are proud to say are from St. James.

🏰 Year 2 DT Castle Workshop 🏰

Yesterday, Year 2 welcomed Helen from Alfresco Learning to take part in a wonderful outdoor workshop constructing castles.

This was a fantastic start to our 'Kings and Queens' unit in History and our exploration of structures in Design and Technology this half-term.

The children were incredibly enthusiastic in spite of the cold and windy weather and worked fantastically in their teams to support each other to learn new skills. Super work Year 2!

After a break for half term, D6 returns this Saturday! ✨

Is your child in Year 5 or 6? Bring them along to our peer coaching session this weekend! It’s brilliant for building confidence, as pupils get to take the lead and choose what they want to work on - whether that’s tackling tricky maths problems, polishing up spellings or practising a brand new skill.

They’ll get supportive, side-by-side coaching alongside their classmates and our fantastic Year 9 student coaches plus, a FREE breakfast is included to keep them fuelled and ready to go! 🥐🍏
