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.

The spirit of community at St James’ is one of its defining features. Founded on a Church of England tradition the school welcomes children of all faiths and beliefs to a community that emphasises values of spiritual awareness, understanding and respect for others.

We celebrate achievement and individuality,

✈️ What an incredible half-term break! Emily, Ella, and Castiel recently returned from a whirlwind 4-day trip to Paris, joining a large group of over 70 Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers for the journey of a lifetime.

🎆 From exploring the iconic streets to seeing the world from the very top of the Eiffel Tower, the energy was non-stop. The highlight was a magical full day at Disneyland Paris, capped off by the spectacular parade and the breathtaking fireworks display.

⚜️ The trip wasn't just about sightseeing, it was a huge moment for our scouting family. A massive congratulations to Emily and Ella, who were officially invested from Beavers to Cubs right there in France!

✨ Moving up to the next section is a big step, and doing it in such a historic setting is something they’ll never forget. Amazing!!

🏆 Dennis had the best time recently, cheering on the talented Teddie-Rose at her freestyle dance competition. He was her biggest fan as she danced her way into the finals for both the "Fast" and "Slow" categories!

🤩 Huge congratulations, Teddie-Rose! We are so proud of your hard work and dedication to your dancing. Keep shining! ✨
