"Friendly and inclusive school community"

My child has been at St James' for a year now, and I've been really pleased with the progress they've made. The school's commitment to the seven key values is something that we really appreciate, and we love seeing how they're encouraged to take part in activities and projects outside of the classroom.

"Excellent education and wonderful memories"

I'm so grateful to have sent my child to St James' Church of England Junior School. We had a great experience with the school, from the excellent education to the wonderful memories we've made. The school's Forest School program was a highlight for us, and we love looking back on photos of our child's time there.
