St. James’ &  St. Michael’s School is a small, Voluntary Aided Church of England School, shared between St. John’s Hyde Park and our neighbouring parish of St. James’, Sussex Gardens. St. John’s Church supports the school in a number of ways; we see it as a very important part of our work and ministry here. As well as providing assemblies and school services along with St. James’ Church, St. John’s provides two governors, of which the Vicar is one.

The main school is located in Craven Terrace with the Early Years Centre(Nursery and Reception classes) in the crypt at St. James’ Church.
Although the school is a Church of England School it does take children from a variety of faiths and backgrounds. Christian worship plays an important part in the daily life of the school but the school believes in learning from one another and respecting  each others’ traditions and cultures.
The head teacher, Valerie de Angelis, is supported by a skilled and dedicated staff who work in co-operation with the parents to help the children achieve their full potential.  St. James’ and St. Michael’s has high expectations of and for its pupils and provides a friendly, joyful place in which they can learn. The school community is one of understanding, harmony and respect and where children are valued as individuals.

“St. James’ & St. Michael’s CE School is a good school providing quality education for all its pupils. Pupils achieve well and they make good progress in their personal development.....” (Ofsted 2006)
