## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Outstanding facilities and values: My child has been at St James Academy for a year now and I couldn't be happier with the facilities, the values they teach and the amazing staff. The Literacy for Life program has really helped my child grow and the extra-curricular activities are plenty. The welcoming atmosphere makes me feel confident that my child is in good hands. *(Sep 2023)*
- **4/5** — Generally pleased but some concerns: We're generally pleased with the education and facilities provided at St James Academy. However, we have some concerns about the limited options for gifted children and the lack of transparency in communication. Our child has been doing well, but we feel that there's more the school could do to support their progress. *(Dec 2022)*
