Our Ethos
Education in its purest form is about unlocking potential, discovering character and achieving dreams. Education is a never-ending journey. Some children charge, skip, and stroll, whilst others need a hand to hold. Not everyone begins this journey at the same starting point, but at St. James', our philosophy focuses on the excellence and potential within each and every child in their pursuit of self-fulfilment.
At St. James' we don't just educate, we Future Proof. We develop, through a broad and enriched curriculum to ensure the skills that don't expire. Young Enterprise, Modern Languages, Problem-Solving, and public speaking begin at an early age which help inculcate life-long habits.
