St John & St James is a Church of England
Primary School in the heart of Hackney.
We also have a Nursery, meaning that the children
in our care range from three to eleven years of age.
At SJSJ every child is encouraged and challenged to achieve their best through an engaging, inclusive and exciting curriculum. We want our children to grow in confidence, develop resilience and be reflective learners. Our commitment to no learning left behind has resulted in high attainment and on-going success. We are a Rights Respecting school which promotes active, global citizens. We encourage pupil voice which champions the rights of the learner to support and improve the school and learning climate.

Love your neighbour as yourself;

Learn together, Journey together, Pray together
