Welcome to St James School
The primary years of education are crucial to all children’s development and at St James we firmly believe in developing each individual child in partnership with you, the parents. Thank you for your interest in our school and we would be delighted to welcome you and your children and show you some of the excellent work that goes on here.
AIMS OF THE SCHOOL
In recognising its historic foundation, the school together with parents and children aims to serve its community and provide an excellent education within a Christian Environment. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian values through the experiences it offers to all its pupils. Through its outstanding creative curriculum, St James School aims to provide:
- A broad and balanced education for all pupils
- High quality provision
- Equal opportunities for all
St James School and Amberley School
In January 2005 a collaboration between our two schools was formed. This means that the schools share a head teacher who shares her time equally between the two. The positive benefits of the collaboration have been to preserve the atmosphere and ethos of the village school whilst broadening educational opportunities and experiences for each child. We also benefit by sharing resources, capitalising on staff expertise and joint pupil activities.
In our schools we offer:
- A very strong partnership between families and schools.
- Excellent social and emotional support for all children and their parents/carers.
- High quality and level of support for the most and least able children when appropriate.
- A creative, rich and stimulating environment and curriculum which motivates and engages all children.
- High expectations of all children in all subjects to achieve their personal best
