Prep School
Welcome to St James Prep School
“Unique. A relaxed, yet focused atmosphere unlike any we have encountered elsewhere.” The Good Schools Guide.
Peace of mind. This is a message that goes straight to the heart of who we are and what we deliver as a school.
For our pupils, peace of mind comes from being in an environment where their ideas and thinking are not only celebrated, but matter. Where they understand their own definition of success. Where creativity, academic success and spiritual well-being walk hand-in-hand.
For parents, peace of mind is knowing that their child is in a vibrant atmosphere of inclusivity and focus. That they will be encouraged to be confident, 360 degree thinkers, ready to meet life’s challenges.
I hope you will join one of our school tours or Open Days so you can experience what sets us apart and see the many ways in which your child will thrive here. Please contact Mrs Martha Carslake, the School Registrar, for more details.
We look forward to meeting you.

👨🏽🎨Artist of the Week 👨🏻🎨 - 16-20 September 2019
After studying some of William Morris’s beautiful botanical wallpaper and textile designs the children in Y3 were inspired to create their own wallpaper designs using oil pastels and paint. They then copied these designs by moulding them carefully out of clay to create an intricate pottery tile. Damir and Francesco produced particularly gorgeous pieces.

🍃Artist of the Week🍃 9-13/9/2019
School is back and we celebrate autumn with observational drawing and painting. The children made beautiful paintings of horse chestnut branches laden with conkers and leaves. They paid close attention, drawing what was in front of them as realistically and true to life as possible. It was a great exercise in “seeing” as well as translating a 3D object into 2D. Poppy in Y2 and Antonia in Y4 made particularly lovely studies which were very carefully observed.

Look how much our pumpkins and courgettes have grown over the summer! 😮 We can’t wait for the children to be back at school on Thursday and see how much they’ve grown too 😃
