Welcome to this introduction to St. James' CE Academy.

We seek to make every opportunity a learning experience and squeeze the value out of every inch of every day. You will see from much of the content of our website how central the children are and what fantastic ambassadors they are for the younger generation.
Although learning is our core purpose, so is laughter, friendship, challenge, exploration and collaboration. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
