We are delighted to announce that our Head, Emma Bell, has been appointed as a Trustee on the Executive Council of the Independent Schools Association (ISA).
Starting September 2025, Emma will serve a three-year term, contributing to key decisions on finance, accreditation, and the strategic direction of the ISA. With nearly 800 members, the ISA plays a pivotal role in the independent education sector, and Emma’s appointment is a testament to her leadership and dedication.
Emma is looking forward to promoting single-sex education, representing St James and advocating for diversity and inclusion; values that lie at the heart of our schools.
The Pause
At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period at the beginning and end of every lesson is allocated to quietude, in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
Sixth Form
With nearly 50% of grades at A* or A every year, and over 90% of leavers gaining a place at their first-choice university, we are committed to supporting you to achieve your best through our unique philosophy-based approach.
With small class sizes and personalised pathways, we help you to pursue your passions and find your true self.
A small number of places remain for September 2025: come and see what makes our West London Sixth Form unique!
