About Us
St James School was founded in January 1975. It was inspired by the desire of a number of parents who wanted to offer their own children and the children of future generations a different education to that available at the time. These parents were philosophically inclined and had come to value the importance of an education which provided spiritual enrichment as well as what could be described as the best of a traditional English education; a rigorous education steeped in the classical tradition and offering the best of artistic and academic culture. The aim was that the doors of the school should be open to all children and fees should be kept as low as possible in order to avoid having to turn people away for financial reasons. From September 2019, with the opening of the St James Nursery, the schools now offer an all-through education to pupils from 3 to 18. Across the schools we provide an education for approximately 900 pupils with the ambition of providing an environment in which every human being can truly flourish. Our Senior Girls’ School is located on the same site as our Nursery and Prep School in Kensington, London. We offer state of the art facilities including; an onsite Gymnasium, spacious art rooms, a large purpose built music room with our own grand piano and four science blocks all with the latest equipment. Last year we opened our new modern library which was designed to create a modern learning environment, along with our new Sixth Form Centre that is based in North End Road; five minutes from the main building. The new building has been completed to a very high specification and comprises two study areas, six classrooms, offices for staff, a large common room and an attractive external paved area. This has provided a stylish and contemporary working space for our Sixth Form students and has allowed us to create a new library and an additional science lab within our main school building. We have ambitious plans for the future and continue to make significant investment in our estates and develop them according to the needs of our pupils and teachers.
