We hope you find our website a useful insight into the life of our school.
St James is a friendly, thriving primary school situated in the lovely village of
Elstead. We offer a happy and challenging learning environment where children are
encouraged and supported. We have high expectations and focus on bringing out the
individual best, giving children of all abilities every opportunity to develop and
succeed. Our excellent and committed teachers and support staff work hard to ensure
the best outcome for each and every child.
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 enjoy close links with St. James’ Church and the community and parents are especially
welcome to be involved in the life of the school.
Our children are at the heart of St James and we are extremely proud of all their
achievements. Children enjoy the continuity of learning that primary education brings
and establish lasting friendships during their time at St James and they work hard
to become confident, motivated,
caring and responsible individuals.
We would be delighted to hear from you and our children take great pride in showing
visitors around their school.
