St James the Great Academy (SJA) is a one form entry primary school near Maidstone the county town of Kent. We like to think we have the best of all worlds with good transport links to London whilst enjoying being close to some of the most beautiful areas in Kent.
We are situated in one of the most beautiful grounds to be found anywhere in Kent. The site was originally landscaped in the 17th century and was the parkland of Clare House. On the site there is a splendid lake and fine mature trees with an abundance of wild life including nesting water birds.
Within the village there is Bradbourne House and the horticultural research station. The parish church of St James the Great and houses of historical and architectural interest, including the mill buildings, Tudor residences and the original Victorian school buildings.
The children are able to use these facilities to enrich their educational knowledge in geography, history and scientific and environmental studies.
We moved into our state-of-the-art and purpose-built building in 2009. The old building has been developed into a Children’s Centre and Community Centre.
We have retained part of the old building as our Family Learning Centre where we hold a free breakfast club, after school activities, and family and parent activities.
SJA is a place where children are at the heart of everything we do. Our pupils are happy, have fun and enjoy being engaged in their learning and challenged in their thinking.
Our staff are highly skilled, willing to learn and determined to get the best results for every child.
Outstanding teachers that can adapt, change and promote creativity and collaboration are the backbone of SJA and an essential part of our vision. We know our teachers are highly committed, each one a leader in the making. They have high expectations and deliver challenging lessons that cater for the needs of every student.
Each one of our students is fantastic. We know and value them as unique individuals. We strive to ensure they are fully prepared for the rapidly evolving future that lies ahead of them, standing shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world. They leave school with confidence, ready to dismiss social barriers and face the challenges of secondary education and then adult life.
SJA is a truly great place to work, but don’t take my word for it – come and find out for yourself!
