The St James' Way

At Southam St James CE Academy, we also recognise and promote ‘The St James Way’, which outlines the simple steps we can take to make our school a pleasant place to be by encouraging good manners and consideration:

• Walking in the classrooms and corridors
• Saying ‘good morning’ or ‘good afternoon’
• Welcoming visitors
• Opening doors for others
• Saying please and thank you
• Recognising our mistakes and apologising for them

It is the school’s expectation that all adults in school will model ‘The St James Way’ to the children consistently and seek opportunities to praise children when they see it.
