The St. James’ family is a welcoming, thriving, innovative community; loving and inspiring, forgiving and challenging. Our Purpose is to provide an engaging, relevant education within a Christian environment, where everyone flourishes academically, socially, physically, morally, emotionally and spiritually.

At the heart of everything we do are the children. The seven years they spend with us is an extremely precious time of enormous growth and change. We seek to make every opportunity a learning experience and squeeze the value out of every inch of every day. Our children are the lifeblood of our community and fantastic ambassadors for the younger generation. Although learning is our core purpose, so is laughter, friendship, challenge, exploration and collaboration. Our Christian values are Love, Hope and Forgiveness and together we can, and will, enrich the world.

Progress

Pupils feel safe and well cared for. They have no concerns about bullying. Parents recognise this caring culture, with one reflecting the views of many, commenting, ‘the school has built a strong community where the children are supportive of each other’. Staff enjoy greeting ex-pupils, who accompany family members at the end of the school day. Pupils understand that, when you join the St James’ family, you will always be welcomed as a member of it.

The school’s values are firmly rooted in the Christian ethos of the school. Pupils know why learning through ‘love, hope and forgiveness’ matters. They make clear links with these values and the school rules to ‘be ready, be respectful and be safe.
