We are incredibly proud of the confidence they showed and how beautifully they delivered their lines and songs. It was a truly magical morning that brought the spirit of Christmas to life. Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us to support them!

At Darwen St James we are proud of our caring, Christian ethos, underpinned by the Christian values that permeate our teaching and learning and shape every member of our school family.

Our school values are;

• Love -  ‘Serve one another in love’.    

      (Galatians 5:13)

• Hope - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.

      (Romans 15:13)

• Friendship - "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."

       (John 15:12-13)

• Perseverance - “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” 

      (James 1:12)

• Courage - “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

      (Joshua 1:9) 

Our Year 3 and Year 4 pupils truly brought the spirit of Easter to life this week with their spectacular performance of Roll Back the Stone at the church. It was a morning filled with song, drama, and reflection that left the entire audience beaming with pride.

From the opening notes to the final bow, every child gave their absolute best, and it was wonderful to see our school values shine through in every aspect of the production.
