At St. James, there are numerous chances for students, teachers, parents, and governors to have their say.
We show our support for democracy and liberty by frequently listening to, reacting to, and recognising each "voice" through our School Council, student questionnaires, and other means.
Throughout the school day, it is stressed the significance of laws and rules, whether they are those that govern our nation or our school.
We involve kids in creating classroom rules at the beginning of every school year, guiding students toward making decisions and decisions that are acceptable to the school community and society at large.
Children are assisted in learning to control their behaviour and take ownership of their activities while attending St. James.
Our staff is dedicated to creating a predictable environment at school where we assist kids in making the link between their activities and their results.
We encourage our children's freedom of choice and the right to respectfully express their opinions and beliefs by setting reasonable limits within which they can make responsible decisions in a nurturing and secure environment.
Students are encouraged to be aware of, comprehend, and exercise their rights and freedoms, and adults in the school community take the initiative to develop respectful, trusting relationships with the kids in order to increase their self-esteem and empower them to make wise decisions.
We are fortunate to be a school in the nation's capital with all that London's benefits of cultural and religious diversity have to offer.
Our ethos is centred on mutual respect. Many of our Christian principles are directly related to this issue of respect for people, property, and behaviour.
