Curriculum
At St James’ they feel that English has a pre-eminent place in education and society. The children need to develop skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening so that they can express themselves creatively and communicate with others effectively. We ensure that pupils leaving the school are confident, independent and literate learners. They offer an exciting, broad and balanced curriculum that develops the skills of each child to the highest level. Literacy skills are developed across the curriculum. Spoken language underpins the development of reading and writing in the school and speaking and listening is an integral part of the whole of the school day. Reading is a skill essential for life and it is vital that our children leave school able to read fluently, confidently and have a love of reading.
