Welcome to St. James’ CE Primary School

We are a school community that is ‘Committed to Excellence’ in all aspects of our work. We strive for the best possible academic outcomes for all children and deliver an engaging curriculum full of exciting opportunities. Most importantly, we work tirelessly with families to create children that we are proud to say are from St.James’. This website will provide you with an overview of our school, but would encourage prospective parents to visit our fantastic setting and see what makes St.James’ so special.

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.

✈️ Taking Flight in DT! ✈️

Our Year 6 engineers have been busy taking to the skies this week! As part of our Design and Technology project, the children have been diving deep into the science of flight by designing their very own gliders. 🛠️

We have explored the four key forces: weight, lift, drag, and thrust. The children will apply these concepts to ensure their designs are as aerodynamic as possible.

We might just have some future aerospace engineers in our midst! Check out some of our pre design flight trials in the photos below. 📸👇

🌟 Maths Superstars in Year 6! 🌟

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils and the fantastic progress they’ve been making with our new Arithmetic Coaching Groups! 🧮

Over the last couple of weeks, the children have shown a brilliant level of engagement across the class, but a special shout-out must go to our student coaches. They have been absolutely outstanding - leading their peers with patience, clarity, and kindness.

It’s wonderful to see the children supporting one another and growing in confidence every day. Well done, Year 6! Keep up the hard work! 💪✨
