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 - our children take great pride in showing visitors around their school.



When considering St James Primary, you are very welcome to visit the school with your children to meet me, Mrs Ann Tann, 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.
