Another significant achievement of 2025 was being awarded Highly Commended for Outstanding Sport in the ISA Awards, highlighting the strength, inclusivity and ambition of our Physical Education department.

Even with all these incredible achievements in 2025, sport at St James is not just about trophies and medals. It is about getting every pupil involved. We are delighted that 100% of our pupils from Year 7 to Year 10 represented the school in sport, while 100% of students represented their House. This outstanding level of engagement reflects our ethos that ‘everyone is a sportsman’ and it is something we are immensely proud of.

As we move into 2026, our teams are already progressing to the later stages of several competitions that began in 2025, including the U15 ESFA National Cup (Football) Quarter Final, U15 ISFA National Cup (Football) Quarter Final, U15 South East England Cup Final (Rugby League) and U16 South East England Cup Final (Rugby League). We are excited to build on this incredible momentum and look ahead to another year filled with sporting achievement, full participation and team spirit.
