ST James Church of England Primary is delighted that they have been awarded government funding to open a new school‑based nursery, creating a high‑quality early years environment that meets the needs of the community.

A spokesperson said: “School‑based nurseries give children a brilliant start, helping them develop strong school‑readiness skills and ensuring a smooth, familiar transition into primary school through shared routines and close teamwork with school staff.

Opening planned for April 2027
