We are delighted to announce our London schools have been shortlisted in this year’s Independent Schools of the Year Awards by Independent School Parent.
We feel thrilled to be a contestant in the Independent Girls’ School of the Year award: we take immense pride in shaping confident, self-aware and capable young women who feel ready to make a positive impact in the world.
St James Preparatory School also gains another environmental recognition, this time by being shortlisted for Independent School of the Year for Environmental Achievement: well done to our pupil-led Eco Committee for all the hard work which has made our London school site greener!
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.
