Catholic Life of the School

Life at St James the Great

Mission Statement

We have an ethos  of Excellence, guided by the beliefs and practice of the Catholic Church, where:

•  Love ensures we build a community inspired by Gospel values, where all feel safe, valued, respected and we have opportunities to 'love thy neighbour';
• Resilience is promoted by providing a balanced curriculum, in which children can grow in understanding and acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values;
• Determination and Self Belief enable us to work hard, so that we fulfil our academic, moral, physical, social and spiritual potential;
• Faith is nurtured through prayer and liturgy, promoting respect for others and tolerance of differences;
• Respect for ourselves and one another is fostered and evident through our behaviour and conduct in school, at home and beyond.
