St James CE Primary School is a Church of England primary school, part of the Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust (LDST). It has close links with St James the Great Church, which is described as a crucial part of maintaining and developing the school’s Christian ethos and identity; governing body structures include foundation governors to preserve the school’s religious character in line with Church of England principles.
Breakfast and After School Club (Seashells) is available to all pupils.
The school provides safeguarding and early help and mentions Early Help Assessments (EHAT) as part of its Early Help offer.
Oversubscription criteria include: looked after children or those who were previously looked after (and any who have been in state care), children with a brother or sister at the school, children whose parents regularly attend a Church of England church (or another Christian church) for at least 2 years, children who require a place for medical or social reasons, and then other children. Tie-breaks use home distance, with possible random allocation if needed.
