Welcome from Headmistress

All parents want their child to be happy. They look for a school where their son or daughter will thrive, succeed academically and retain openness in a loving and caring environment.

A young child is inquisitive and full of fun. At St James, as well as a broad and balanced curriculum, we offer an ethos of unity and love where the teachers encourage the children to discover and enjoy their talents. We also encourage the children to explore, ask questions and work harmoniously and by offering opportunities for everyone to succeed, we all celebrate and share in their joy and delight. This gives the children a wonderful self assurance and confidence to look after one another and care for their community.

As our pupils move on to Senior School they do so with an excellent academic foundation, with deep and lasting friendships, secure in their own ability, proud of their achievements and confident to meet any challenge.

I look forward to meeting you and introducing you to the children and teachers of St James.

Mrs Catherine Thomlinson
