St James & St. John is a Voluntary Aided Church of England Primary School providing education for children aged between 3 and 11 years. Our Early Years Unit consists of a Nursery Class and a Reception Class teaching children from 3 to 5 years of age. In the Main School, we teach Year 1 to Year 6 children until admission into a secondary school.



Parish Boundaries

A common question with regard to the admission process is about the boundaries of the parish. Details of the parish boundary for St. James’s Church, Sussex Gardens and St. John’s Hyde Park can be found on the website of the Church of England.

School Uniform

School uniform is compulsory at our school. All children must wear the school uniform, as agreed by parents in the Home-School Agreement when their child joins our school.

Wearing our school uniform helps children to feel a sense of identity and belonging to our school community.

Most school uniform items are available to buy from a company called Stitch Design. We have chosen Stitch Design as our school uniform provider because the items are of good quality and are reasonably priced. You can find the link to the uniform shop by Stitch Design here
