We are so fortunate to have extensive playground and field space which allow our children wonderful learning experiences: in the wild garden, polytunnel and swimming pool as well as on our sports fields. We offer established before- and after-school childcare provision.

We are a Church of England Primary School, supported by the Diocese of Guildford. We have close links with our local church, St. James’, and the Rector is an integral part of the spiritual life of the school. We are also very involved in our local community, and especially welcome parents to join in the educational life of their children.

Our children are at the heart of St James and they enjoy the continuity of learning that primary education brings.

When considering St James Primary, you are very welcome to visit the school with your children to meet me, Mrs Valerie Elliott, and see the school at work and play. Please contact us to arrange a visit, to request a school prospectus, or to find out any other information.
