The St James' curriculum extends so much further than individual subjects taught in class. We have a carefully planned enrichment curriculum that aims to ensure all children have a rich and varied experiences that aims to build their character, resilience and determination. We want all children to not only achieve at the highest academic level but to have a great time, try new skills and become a valued member of the community.
We approach enrichment with 4 key aims:
It would be impossible to showcase all that is on offer at St James'. However, there are a number of feature events that exemplify all that makes St James' special.
We want every child to have the opportunity to perform throughout each year. This might be a new instrument they have learnt, a performance as part of the choir or the whole school show which takes place at the end of each academic year.
By competing for the school, children develop a deep sense of belonging and self-worth. Each year, every child has the opportunity to compete for the school in a variety of sporting events. Sports Day is a highlight of the year and the whole community gathers to celebrate and cheer on each competitor.
