Conquering the Channel: Ms Choimet’s Journey for Aspire

Ms Choimet has completed the Aspire Channel Swim 2024!

Together with her husband, she swam the full 22-mile distance of the English Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. This vital charity supports people paralysed by spinal cord injuries by providing essential equipment, advice, and housing, helping them live independently.

Thank you to everyone who supported this effort. Donations can still be made, so if you’d like to contribute, please do so here – every bit helps make a difference!

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 of 5-10 minutes at the beginning and middle of every day is allocated to quietude in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
