St James’s C of E High School

Who are we

We are 11 11 to 16 secondary school in Farnworth, Bolton. We are part of the Bishop Fraser Trust which is a multi academy trust sponsored by the Church of England. St James’s has vibrant visual and performing arts departments with highly trained specialist teachers across all Arts disciplines, several of whom are Specialist Leaders of Education in their Arts field.

Cultural Education Challenge Commitment

Our school is taking on the Cultural Education Challenge. This means that our learning journey takes us to places where we can create, compose, perform, visit, experience, participate, know, understand and review great art and culture. Along the way, we meet inspiring artists and cultural experts that help us explore our own and others’ inventiveness. Together we inspire each other to be creative, courageous and curious.
