Celebration Mass for our 90th Anniversary

On Tuesday 16 Jul 2024, we celebrated a whole school Mass to mark both the Feast of St James and this special 90th anniversary of the school. 

Bishop John Sherrington from the Diocese of Westminster came to celebrate the Mass. Special guests also included past Headteachers and teachers, school governors, representatives from the local authority, Dominican sisters, priests from our area, and vocations of the school; Local dignitaries have also been invited.

The celebration is a fitting way to commemorate 90 years of St James’ Catholic High School, founded by the Dominican sisters, whose motto, Veritas, meaning truth, still inspires our school values today. Despite the many changes and challenges over the years, our foundation of faith has remained steadfast and at this Mass, we had the opportunity to give thanks to God for the blessings of the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future with hope and joy.
