Word From The Head

Emma Bell


Based in Kensington Olympia, our inclusive school community welcomes girls aged 11 – 18 from a wide variety of backgrounds and schools, including our own co-educational Prep school.

Our unique approach is rooted in kindness and a belief in the limitless possibility of the human spirit, facilitated by expert teaching and compassionate pastoral care.

In an ‘always-on’ world, our pupils are never afraid to stop and think, drawing on ancient wisdom to bring fresh perspectives and creative solutions to personal and global challenges.

St James girls learn to speak the truth, live generously and aim for the best, resulting in excellent academic outcomes and laying firm foundations for lifelong success.

To find out where our open-minded, open-hearted approach can take your daughter, come and visit us. I look forward to meeting you.

    Year 11 Parent


    The teachers were magnificent; they supported her and encouraged her so much and made themselves available completely. And that inspired her. She wanted to do well, not just for herself, but for every single teacher. Really lovely!
