iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Head's Welcome Welcome to St. James' CE Primary School – a truly special place where every child is valued, nurtured, challenged and celebrated. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and achieve to the best possible standards, giving them a strong foundation for the future.
We provide an exciting curriculum, which is carefully designed to foster a love of learning and effectively prepare children for life in an ever-changing world.
We aim to inspire, challenge and motivate our children to want to make a difference. we want our children to be shining lights on the hillside; You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world…now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand – shine!'
Matthew 5:14 Our geographical location provides such wonderful opportunities for learning outside the classroom. For us, this is incredibly important, as it enables our children to develop vital learning skills such as resilience, resourcefulness, responsibility and risk-taking, as well as encouraging collaboration.
