Our Vision And Ethos
Through respect, kindness, joy, wisdom and perseverance we encourage each other to engage with our world and transform our future.
‘Encourage one another and build each other up, just as you are now doing’
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Our objectives
We will deliver an excellent education academically and for the whole person.
We promote an inclusive, nurturing culture based on our Christian values, which fosters hope and aspiration, values each individual (pupil and teacher) and supports their emotional well being. We ensure that each child has a voice and is treated with dignity and respect.
We deliver a safe environment for effective and fun learning and teaching. We use our unique location and environment imaginatively
We work together as a vibrant community with our children, parents, St James Church, and our neighbourhood
We want every child to enjoy their time at St James Primary School, flourishing and excelling whilst they are with us. They will leave us ready for the next stage of education, prepared for life long learning.
We offer a breadth of curriculum opportunities by collaborating with other schools and using our resources creatively, enabling our children to thrive and broaden their horizons.
Our School Prayer
God bless our school.
Bless those who teach.
Bless those who learn.
And bless us all in the knowledge of your love.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen
