As an outward facing school it is important that we gather the views of one of the most important parts of our St James‘ family; our parents and carers.

At each Parents‘ Evening we canvas opinions on our school. The results are analysed and where appropriate Heads of Year contact parents/carers directly. The views are used to measure the performance of our school and focus us for future development.

2023/24 Parents’ Evening dates:

• Year 7 Meet the Tutor 9 November 2023 4-7pm (in person)
• Year 10 Parents’ Evening 23rd November 2023 4 – 7pm (virtual)
