Vision & Values

Let me introduce you to a very important bear.  His name is Bramble.  He features daily in the lives of the children.  He is used as part of our school ethos and is a valuable teaching aid when reminding children of our aims and values.

Ethos and Values-based education

Our ethos illustrates our shared values and standards.  At St James we celebrate each child so that they are happy children with a positive sense of well-being.  We provide a bright, welcoming, safe, secure and stimulating environment enabling children to be the best that they can be. 

Our Aims

  • To provide an inclusive and inspiring environment where learning is fun.
  • To ensure every child is inspired to achieve their full potential.
  • To provide opportunities for every child to use initiative so that they can take responsibility and ownership of their own learning.
  • To put well-being at the heart of everything we do so that children demonstrate integrity as they take their next steps.
  • To nurture involvement in the community.
