- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: I have been blown away by the dedication of the staff at St James' Church of England Aided Junior School. They have created a warm and inclusive environment that has allowed my child to thrive. The emphasis on community and values is wonderful to see in action. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A School That Exceeds Expectations: I visited St James' a few times before making the decision to send my child there and I was struck by the modern facilities and the commitment to providing a broad and balanced curriculum. My child has settled in well and is making great progress. *(May 2021)*
- **3/5** — A Mixed Experience: We've had a mixed experience at St James', to be honest. The staff have been helpful and supportive, but the class sizes are a bit large and I've noticed that the resources can be a bit outdated at times. Overall, it's been an okay experience, but I'm not entirely sure it's the right fit for our needs. *(Dec 2020)*
