At St James’ Catholic Primary School, Christ is at the heart of our mission and values. We are a caring, inclusive and nurturing community where every child, member of staff and family is welcomed, valued and respected, fostering a strong sense of belonging.
Guided by Gospel values and inspired by the teachings of Jesus, we create an environment where faith, love and learning flourish together.
We are committed to providing an excellent education that enables every child to discover and develop their God-given gifts, achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning. Through high expectations, a rich and ambitious curriculum, and a culture of aspiration, we encourage all pupils to strive for excellence, embrace challenges and take pride in their achievements.
Working in partnership with parents, carers, the parish and the wider community, we share responsibility for nurturing the whole child socially, intellectually, spiritually and sacramentally. We seek to develop confident, compassionate and resilient young people who are equipped to serve others with humility, and make a positive contribution to society.
At St James’ Catholic Primary School, we work and pray together, supporting one another on our journey of faith and striving each day to grow closer to God. Through worship, service and learning, we seek to follow Christ’s example and live out our mission in all that we do.
Our School Motto encapsulates our Mission Statement:
” Together we are learning to follow Jesus”
