Headteacher's WelCome
Welcome to St James CE Primary School – a vibrant and joyful community where every pupil is cherished and inspired to thrive.
At the heart of our school are Christian values that shape everything we do, guiding our policies, practises, and the nurturing environment we provide. We believe every pupil is unique, and by truly knowing each child, we tailor support and challenge to help them reach their full potential.
Our curriculum is designed to excite and engage all learners, sparking curiosity and a love of discovery. We pride ourselves on offering rich, hands-on learning experiences, bringing education to life through memorable trips, inspiring visitors, and real-world opportunities. Central to this is our exciting ‘50 Things to Do Before You Leave St. James’ programme, which weaves through the curriculum to ensure pupils enjoy a wide breadth of experiences — from theatre visits and live sporting events to thrilling performance opportunities.
With high expectations and a safe, loving atmosphere, pupils at St James flourish as confident, resilient learners ready to embrace life in all its fullness.
We warmly invite you to visit our welcoming school community. Please call to arrange a visit and see first hand the vibrant learning and caring spirit that makes St James so special.
