Moving Up Open Day 

Wednesday 4th February 2026 9:30am - 3:00pm

One Day. One School. One Big Step Forward.

We are delighted to welcome Year 5 and Year 6 pupils to St James’ School for a special 'Moving Up' Open Day designed to support a confident and positive move into Year 7.

This engaging day gives children the opportunity to explore the school, meet key staff and student ambassadors, and take part in a Young Enterprise–style activity focused on teamwork, problem-solving, and self-belief. Everything about the day is carefully designed to help pupils feel comfortable, capable, and excited about what lies ahead.

Children will:

  • Take part in practical, hands-on challenges

  • Work in small groups to build confidence and friendships

  • Meet our teachers and Year 7 and 8 student ambassadors

  • Experience the supportive environment that defines life at St James’
