At St. James's, we strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.     We always recommend that you accept the school you were originally offered but by formally notifying us and the Local Authority that you want to go on our waitlist, it will enable us to formally offer a potential place to you and you can then decide to accept or reject it.

Our dedicated team of educators is committed to helping your child discover their potential and develop a love for learning that will last a lifetime. St. James’s is a very happy and successful school where children are confident and enthusiastic learners. 

We understand that starting school can be both exciting and perhaps a little daunting for both children and parents alike.  Rest assured, we are here to support you every step of the way, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for your child from their very first day with us. 

Please see attached our letter and information and also a frequently asked question guide, as to how you can alert the local authority to go on the St James’s Primary school wait list.

If you would like to go on the St James’s School waiting list:

• please send an email to Info@st-james.richmond.sch.uk

• please also complete the local authority request wait list form : change of preference form. 

We would love the opportunity to welcome you into our school family and embark on this wonderful journey together!
