St James receives the Wellbeing Award for Schools!

We are thrilled to announce that St James Nursery & Preparatory School has received the Wellbeing Award for Schools!

This accreditation recognises our commitment to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for every child.

Through dedicated initiatives like our Feel Good Fridays, Listening Ear support and Wellbeing Ambassador Programme, we are empowering pupils to thrive.

This award is a testament to the hard work of our staff and the engagement of our parents in ensuring the children develop to be happy and confident.

Well done to Mr Jones for the all the work put into our application and for the wonderful initiatives put in place to enhance our Wellbeing programmes!

The Pause

At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period at the beginning and end of every lesson is allocated to quietude in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
