"Excellent Education with a Strong Christian Focus"

My child attended St James' CE Primary School for several years, and we were consistently impressed by the high standards of education and the strong Christian values that underpin the school's ethos. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the facilities are well-maintained. My child made lifelong friends, and we will always be grateful for the experiences they had at this wonderful school.

"Mixed Feelings about Our Experience"

We've been pleased with the education our child has received at St James' CE Primary School, but we've had some issues with communication from the school. The facilities are good, but sometimes we feel that the school could do more to engage with the local community. Overall, we're happy with our child's progress, but we're not entirely satisfied with our experience.
