St James' CE First School and Nursery serve our community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. We encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promote Christian values through the experience our school offers to all its pupils.
At the heart of our school, we believe that everyone should be enabled to be the very best that they can be. We are committed to being a thriving village school and nursery; providing a solid foundation from which to build on, where all in our community are valued, respected and cared for. Through the creation of positive, life-long habits we send life-long learners into the wider world with the skills, confidence and drive that they need to flourish.
We aim to ensure that our children are able to flourish and develop both as individuals and as responsible community citizens. We pride ourselves on offering a happy, safe and unique experience for every child.
We offer high-quality care and education, starting in our Nursery from age 2 through to age 9. Our school benefits from large open plan classrooms, plenty of outdoor learning space, including our forest school which we use to enhance, support and facilitate our children’s learning. We follow a creative, child-led curriculum and whilst our children excel at Maths and English, we are careful to balance this with an interactive, innovative and fun approach to all subjects covered.
The staff and children promote these values through our school vision:
Make Great Choices. Be Our Best.
Respect, Peace, Friendship, Hope, Kindness, Trust
