Welcome to St James the Great Primary School and Nursery
On behalf of the staff, pupils and governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to St James the Great Primary School and Nursery and to our website.
At St James, our vision “With Christ, we learn to love and love to learn” is at the heart of all that we do. As a caring Christian school, we nurture each child to flourish academically, socially and spiritually, growing in confidence and reaching their full potential within a supportive and loving community.
Our Christian values guide our daily life, inspiring us to show love, kindness and respect to one another, while encouraging a genuine love of learning. We celebrate aspiration and perseverance, helping our pupils to develop the skills, resilience and curiosity they need to succeed.
We are proud to be a church school rooted in our local community, where everyone is welcomed, valued and treated with dignity. Every child is recognised as unique, with individual talents, interests and ideas, and we work closely with them to help them discover and develop their God-given gifts.
We have high expectations for learning, behaviour and attendance, ensuring that each child is supported and challenged to achieve their very best. Partnership with parents and carers is central to our ethos, as together we seek to provide a rich and nurturing education that lays strong foundations for life beyond primary school.
Our broad and engaging curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and enjoyment, encouraging our pupils to become confident, compassionate and enthusiastic learners who truly love to learn.
We hope you find our website informative and that it gives you a sense of the warm, inclusive and supportive community that makes St James the Great Primary School and Nursery such a special place.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs L J Turner
Headteacher
