Learn MoreOur Vision Statement
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website to find out about the exciting things that are happening at King James I Academy.
In 2020 we will continue to build upon our many successes and we look forward to another exciting and inspiring year filled with opportunities to learn and grow. We are over-subscribed for the third year running and will do our best to provide the King James experience to as many young people as possible.
At King James we pride ourselves on the quality and breadth of the curriculum we offer and we employ specialist staff to ensure that all of our children are well cared for and supported. We are keen to work in close partnership with our parents and we work hard to ensure that our students enjoy all aspects of their education.
We are an inclusive school and we employ a large number of highly skilled support staff who are available to help all of our students to prosper. From our Student Support Workers who provide day to day support to students to our Learning Support team we are a caring school. We also employ a School Counsellor and other support staff who help students to be prepared and able to learn.
Our International School Award reflects our belief in learning beyond the classroom and our Vision Magazine celebrates the variety we offer and the many achievements of our students.
King James I Community works closely in partnership with our local schools and the local community to provide a venue for a large range of community-led educational and leisure activities including supporting Roots (a local performing arts group), hosting Bishop Auckland Juniors football club and working closely with Shildon AFC.
Our children take part in a range of activities beyond the school day and there is a seamless connection between the school and community activities which take place on the Academy site. Students benefit from an Enrichment period at the end of every day, other than Friday, that provides them with the opportunity to develop new interests and to extend their learning.
King James offers a wealth of opportunities, which help our students to thrive and achieve excellent outcomes and which help us to provide "learning to inspire".
Should you require a copy of Vision or any further information then please access information via the website or contact the Main Reception on 01388-603388, or if you are interested in visiting King James then please do not hesitate to make personal contact with me.
Best wishes.
