Learning

At St James, our vision is rooted in the parable of the wise man who built his house upon the rock. Just as that house stood firm, we are committed to giving every child a strong foundation for life and learning: spiritually, emotionally, and academically.

Our school values - Ignite, Explore, Believe... Together - shape everything we do. We ignite curiosity, explore knowledge and faith, and believe in each child’s potential, working together as a nurturing and inclusive community.

We are passionate about educating the whole child. Our broad and balanced curriculum is designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning, encouraging children to think deeply, ask questions, and grow in confidence. We continually seek creative and engaging ways to bring learning to life, ensuring it is meaningful, relevant, and personalised to each child’s needs.

High academic standards are important to us, but we believe they are best achieved through teaching that is innovative, inclusive, and rooted in Christian values. Our aim is for every child to flourish - spiritually, socially, and academically - so they are well-prepared for the next phase of their journey.
