A St James pupil is a well-balanced individual who is: open hearted, mature, independent of thought, a confident learner and has a natural desire to make a difference to the world.
At St James we offer a broad range of subjects combining the traditional subjects like Mathematics, Science and Humanities with more creative and practical subjects such as Languages, Art, Music, DT and Drama. There is a unique chance to learn subjects like Sanskrit and Greek which we believe is at the core of the finest materials the boys can be exposed to.
Our academic and extra-curricular provision is designed to allow the steady growth of a student to develop physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Our continuing high levels of academic success, as measured by A- Level and GCSE examinations, from our mixed ability intake, is further evidence that we achieve this aim.
Overall, at every level, St James fosters a love of learning.
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.
