Welcome to
St. James' CEC School
Welcome to St James’ CEC Primary School which is situated in the beautiful town of Emsworth. We are proud and privileged to work as a community of learners, at the vital task of providing a Christian-based education of the highest quality, to the children entrusted to us.
We are a warm and friendly, purposeful school with a strong community ethos. Our mission statement is Loving Learning, Loving life, Loving God’s World and all the work we do is underpinned by our Christian values of Respect, Friendship and Excellence.
I hope that the website will give you a flavour of our school, but please do come and see the smiling faces of our staff and children and enjoy us in action.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school family.
