Bringing Out the Best in All

Saint James' Primary School is a community based on Christian principles in which adults and children are expected to show:-

• tolerence, respect, courtesy and consideration for all the other people whatever their age, culture, origin, gender or abilities

• respect and care for their own and other people's property and the buildings and environment of the school

We believe that children learn best:-

• when they are confident, happy and secure

• when they are actively involved in their learning

• when their achievements and ideas are acknowledged and valued.

We encourage children to:-

• become self-motivated and independent learners

• take pride in and a postive attitude to their own work and worth

• develop their ability to work responsibly with others

• maximise their strengths and accept support in areas of weakness.

We provide:-

• a secure and caring enviroment

• a wide range of interesting and stimulating learning experiences

• opportunities for children to work both co-operatively and independently

• suitable resources (within budget limitations)

• appropriate knowledge for each child

• acknowledgement of children's achievements

• a wide variety of learning opportunities
