About St James' CofE Academy

Just over half of parents responding to the school's most recent Parent View survey said they would recommend St James' CofE Academy to other families, a figure that sits below the national average for primary schools. The school is oversubscribed, with 209 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, suggesting that despite mixed parent satisfaction, demand remains solid in the Nuneaton and Bedworth area. St James' is a Church of England primary for children aged 7 to 11, meaning it operates as a junior school rather than a full primary. It is led by headteacher Jane Cook and was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2017 and 2022 graded inspections. The Ofsted report awarded Good marks across all four inspected categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
