Our Vision and Values

Our vision is…

Aspire to do our best
Achieve our dreams
Believe in ourselves

 

Believe in yourself –
Mark 9:23 Jesus said, “Everything is possible for those who believe.”

Achieve our Dreams
Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord and He will establish your dreams.”

Aspire to do our best (a little more difficult)
2 Corinthians 5:9 “We aspire to please him in all that we do.” 

 

St James is a welcoming Church of England Primary School where the appreciation of everyone is encouraged and attitudes of tolerance, care, concern and self-respect are developed in a happy, safe and secure environment.
