As you are aware the worldwide outbreak of Covid-19 is resulting in changes to how organisations operate and as a result I have taken the decision to make the following changes to our procedures over the next weeks.
Guided tours available to see St James Academy during the school day.
This is a rapidly evolving situation where information is being gathered and assessed daily by Public Health England.
Today the Department for Education have launched a new helpline to answer questions about COVID-19 related to education. Staff, parents and young people can contact the helpline as follows:
Phone: 0800 046 8687
Email: DfE.coronavirushelpline@education.gov.uk
Opening hours: 8am to 6pm (Monday to Friday)
No school should close in response to a suspected (or confirmed) COVID-19 case unless directed to do so by Public Health England.

St James Academy is delighted to announce that Ian Moore has been appointed as the school’s new Principal.
Now under new leadership, with support from staff and our trust sponsor Dudley Academies Trust - the school is undergoing a period of transformation.
Mr Moore has been a key member of the school staff since 2012 when he joined as Deputy Head, later becoming Vice Principal and then, in January 2019, Acting Principal.
His leadership team and the teaching staff at St James helped the academy to improve both attainment and progress significantly in 2019, with some key departments achieving 100% pass rates.
Mr Moore himself said, “I feel both proud and privileged to be appointed as Principal at St James Academy. Having grown up in the Dudley area, it is great to be able to work in my local community.
A huge welcome back to all our students after the summer break.
Phew! - A busy first few weeks for students and staff.
We hope our new Year 7s had a great first couple of weeks, have started to settle into school life at St James and to continue their educational journey they have started with us here.
