We wore red to school this term to show our support for Show Racism The Red Card who are one of the UK's leading anti-racism educational charity. The majority of their work involves the delivery of educational workshops to young people and adults in schools, workplaces and at events held in football stadiums. Across the UK, they produce educational resources to challenge misconceptions, stereotypes and negative attitudes in society.

At St James, we pride ourselves in having a curriculum that reflects our school community and celebrates diversity. We want all our pupils to thrive through informed curiosity about the world and think critically about how to change the world for the better. 

Conscious inclusion is a core part of our school development plan and is embeded in everything we do from our curriculum and enrichment programme to our behaviour and restorative justice approach.  Please see our Inclusion pages for more information.

We are delighted to have been awarded the UNICEF Rights Respecting Gold award in February 2025.
