St James' Catholic Primary SchoolWe belong to the loving family of St James', together we inspire, together we achieve, together we succeed.

Religious Education

At St James’, we value the Religious Education and Collective Worship above other core subjects. As a Catholic school, we use at least 10% of our curriculum time on RE from Reception up to Year Six. This equates to 2 ½ hours per week, per class from Reception upwards and 1 ½ hours in Nursery. We also conduct Collective Worship in different forms across all classes, including Nursery.

We are an OUTSTANDING Catholic School

Hinduism day - July 2023

What a lovely day we have had learning all about Hinduism. First, our Pupil Parliament led an assembly. We then worked in our houses and completed different tasks including henna tattoos, making Rakhi bracelets, making Hindu sweets and learning a traditional stick dance. 🕉️

Year 3 Spotlight Assembly on St James

Loving topic - Advent- Expectations

Year 6 launched their new RE topic by working in groups to discuss the meaning of the word expectations. They thought about expectations others have of them, the expectations they have of others and how we feel when people don’t live up to expectations. They recognised that when others have high expectations of them it helps us them to succeed.
