King James I Academy will close at 2:45pm on the 26th May for half term. Students are expected to attend in full uniform as normal.
We are currently experiencing technical issues with timetables on ClassCharts, we hope to get this resolved quickly.
Our Designated Child Protection Lead is Ms Mhairi Stewart. She is supported by two Deputy Safeguarding Officers, Val Bainbridge and Kirsty Mawdsley.
We work closely with other agencies to ensure that the needs of our students are met.
