"Excellent school experience so far!"

My child has been at The Academy at St James for 2 years now and I have been consistently impressed with the facilities, the values they instill in the children, and the programs they offer. The staff are always approachable and supportive, and I love the way they encourage the children to take risks and try new things. I have no hesitation in recommending this school to anyone looking for a nurturing and challenging environment for their child.

"A truly exceptional school!"

I've been blown away by the standard of education and care provided by The Academy at St James. From the moment my child started in reception, I've seen them grow into a confident and capable young person, with a love of learning that's been fostered by the excellent teachers and staff. The values of 'Aspire, Achieve, Believe' are lived out every day, and I've witnessed my child develop into a kind, compassionate, and resilient individual. I couldn't be more proud of this school!

"Some good, some not so good"

I have mixed feelings about my experience at The Academy at St James. On the one hand, I loved the emphasis on community and the relationships between staff and parents. My child thrived in the nursery and made many friends. On the other hand, I felt that the school often prioritized events and activities over academic standards, and I was occasionally frustrated by the lack of clarity around policies and procedures. All in all, it was an average experience, and I'm not entirely sure if I would recommend it to others.
