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.

Our Year 5 & 6 girls had a fantastic time last week representing St James' with Rochdale Borough School Games Partnership at the Netball Skills Festival AND their first football event! What an incredible performance in each event! 🌟

🏀 Netball - The girls took part in a range of brilliant drills to sharpen their skills, improve their court movement, and build up their confidence all while having absolute fun!

⚽ Football - For their first time playing together as a team, their teamwork, communication, and support for one another was outstanding. To top it off, we saw some outstanding goals scored!

👏 Super proud of their teamwork and sportsmanship. Well done, girls! You all represented St James' beautifully.

D6 is on as usual this Saturday!

Is your 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, polishing up on spellings or practising a new skill.

They’ll get support working alongside their classmates and our fantastic Year 9 student coaches - plus, breakfast is included to keep them fuelled and ready to go! 🥐🥞
