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 4 are on the move! 🚗💨
This week in Design & Technology, Year 4 took a step back in time to explore the history of the car before stepping into the shoes of real-life engineers! 🛠️💡

Working brilliantly in groups, our young design technologists followed a strict design brief to build, evaluate, and test three different prototype chassis: 🔹 Car 1: A simple chassis, tested with a roll down a slope 🔹 Car 2: A sustainable slingshot chassis, tested for slingshot mechanism power 🔹 Car 3: A durable chassis, tested using a wind-up mechanism.

Along the way, the children expanded their STEM vocabulary, using technical terms like axle, prototype, and chassis like true professionals. Every group showed outstanding teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving skills when putting their models to the test. 👏🌟

The children took their prototype cars home today and are feeling super inspired to keep designing and building their own car kits at home. Take a look at our clever designers in action below! 👇📸
