Our boarding community has a real family feel with students from around the world living together and supporting eachother with the caring oversight of proactive Houseparents.

Why Boarding

Consequently, every pupil potential, whatever that might be is explored and fulfilled. Our children develop the skills needed for the future challenges in global workplace and our approach to boarding is sympathetic to the needs of today's families, where children can go home regularly and parents are actively involved in school life.

Our boarding experience is truly unique. Here at St. James' we understand the issues surrounding our modern families, thats why we have made our boarding provision the cheapest in the UK.
