Kindness – Respect – Perseverance

Welcome to St James’ Church of England Academy

A very warm welcome to our school!

We are a nurturing, happy school and know our children very well – one of the many advantages of being a small school. Our aim is to ensure that every pupil enjoys their time at St James’ while also providing our pupils with a wide range of learning opportunities that enable them to be well equipped to fulfil their full potential in our ever-changing world. We endeavour to foster a love of learning through our broad and balanced curriculum which promotes the development of confident and independent learners, whilst also striving for high levels of academic achievement. As a Christian school, we live and learn together as a community, emphasising the importance of respect, kindness and perseverance in our daily lives.

We look forward to meeting you and giving you the opportunity to experience the caring, positive atmosphere at St James’.
