Welcome to Haslingden St James' CE Primary School This morning, we went up to church to learn about Holy Communion. In RE, we have been looking at... At St James', we aim to provide a secure, caring and stimulating environment in which children are encouraged to strive to do their best in all aspects of their development.
As a school family, we believe that courtesy, respect and concern for others are as important as high standards of achievement in academic work. To this end, we are determined to meet the needs of every child, celebrating the uniqueness of each child.
As a school, we work hard to create a lively, engaging and purposeful learning environment in which children will develop a love of learning.
"We love because he first loved us." – 1 John 4:19 Parable of the Sower Matthew 13 Growing in Gods love, learning as we go We are a safe, loving, supportive, Christian family which values each child's individuality and uniqueness created in the image of God.
