National Healthy Schools Status
Many schools have this award; it demonstrates the work which we do in four areas of health: physical activity, emotional health, healthy eating and PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education).
Active Mark
This recognises the significant time we all dedicate to physical activity at St James’ CE Primary to ensure our children are healthy. There’s a strong link between healthy bodies and healthy learners so we’re very proud to have received this recognition.
Leadership Development School
NPQH (National Professional Qualification for Headship) Leadership Development School status is awarded by the National College for School Leadership. It recognises schools with proven, strong leadership. The status means we can support school leaders of the future.
Active Schools
Like many schools in Leeds, we subscribe to the Leeds Active Schools Partnership, which entitles us to access lots of sporting events for children and training for staff. This is one way in which we invest the dedicated PE and sport funding.
School Games Mark
The School Games Mark is a Government-led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Schools in England are able to assess themselves across bronze, silver and gold levels. We’re proud to be awarded Gold.
