School Admissions

St James Junior School is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled School and we welcome all applicants, wherever they may live and any age between 7 and 11. We welcome visits to the school by families who may be interested in applying, just give us a call on 01946 695311 and we can make an appointment for you to come and see us.

Although St James' CofE Junior School has a designated catchment area, we also have a number of children who attend from surrounding areas. Applying for a place for your child couldn't be easier. All admissions for Year 3 starters are arranged through Cumbria County Council School Admissions Team, follow the link below
