St James' School

Grimsby, Yorkshire and the Humber · DN34 4SY

Among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter, St James' School in Grimsby has just 70 pupils on roll. That intimate scale defines the place: with such a tiny cohort, pupils are visible to staff in a way that larger schools cannot match, and the atmosphere is closer to a close-knit community than an institution. Families considering it should weigh the school's published results carefully against their child's needs.

Teaching & academics

The school's headline figures sit well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 21.8 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. With a cohort this small, a handful of pupils can move these numbers significantly, so single-year figures should be read with caution. Even so, parents focused on measurable GCSE outcomes will want to discuss recent results and individual progress directly with the school.

The last word

A very small independent option in Grimsby where personal attention comes as standard, though the published academic results invite close scrutiny before any application.
