At St. James’s the aim of our volunteer induction is to ensure all parent helpers and volunteers understand and share the vision, values and practices of the school. All newly appointed helpers or staff will receive a programme of support and guidance appropriate to their role, ensuring all individuals:

St James's is a Catholic school in which each individual grows in the knowledge and love of Christ. In partnership with parents and the whole community, our purpose is to provide a high standard of education, giving the maximum opportunity to realise each person’s potential.

All parents are expected to attend a school briefing and to familiarise themselves with the school’s key policies and guidance and to understand the school’s safeguarding procedures and the school’s confidentiality policy.
