Welcome to
St James church of england Primary SchooL

St James is a friendly, Christian school, situated in the village of Elstead. Being a primary school we provide a seamless education over nine years, from nursery until the children move onto their secondary school.  During our recent Ofsted Inspection (June 2024) inspectors were impressed with the behaviour and personal development of the children,  based on a Christian ethos, which they felt was oustanding.  We have high expectations for learning, also noted by Ofsted,  and we focus on ‘bringing out the best’ in every child. Arranging a visit is easy: just call or email info@st-james-elstead.surrey.sch.uk and I will be happy to show you around our lovely school.

Our Vision - bringing out the Best

Our vision is illustrated by Zephaniah 3:17, 

'The Lord your God is with you, a Mighty One, who will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will renew you with His Love, He will rejoice over you with singing.' 

It emphasises the importance of spiritual nourishment through singing, and highlights the constant presence of God in our lives. It reminds us to have  wisdom and courage to always do our best, and to love and serve others..

Welcome from rev. hannah moore

Welcome to St James Primary School. I hope that you will find, as I have,  that St James is a warm and welcoming school with children who are eager to learn and a dedicated staff. I am delighted to say that there is a strong connection between the school and the Parish Church, St James. As a church school, the school values are shaped by a Christian Ethos. These values and ethos are reinforced by regular interaction between myself and the school. I deliver assemblies in school and the children visit the church for festivals and special occasion or to engage with reflective prayer spaces. It is such a privilege to engage with the children and help shape their spirituality.
