St James CE Primary School is a one-form entry school in Enfield closely linked to St James Church, this link enables our children to flourish and learn from Christian values which are so important to us. Our biggest asset without a doubt are our fantastic children who are friendly, happy and keen to learn.
Our vision for them and our school community was inspired by Mathew 13-The Parable of the Sower and how this links to our children and their journey with us. We strive to ensure they have strong foundations from which to grow academically as well socially and emotionally.
This allows as per our vision learning that is deeply rooted within them so they can grow and flourish as a unique and whole child of God
