St James's Church of England High School is a voluntary aided Church of England secondary school located on Lucas Road, Farnworth in Greater Manchester, England.
The school was a secondary modern school. It became a comprehensive in the early 1970s, and effectively became the only school in the area when the former Farnworth Grammar School was demolished. There is also a St James C of E Primary School in Farnworth, on Hillside Avenue.
The school is continually achieving high GCSE grades, with 61% of pupils attaining the equivalent to 5 GCSEs at grade C or above. The school achieved sports college status in September 2005. The new sports area includes a dance studio, a multi-use games area (MUGA) and a sports hall. St James' is a respectable school in all areas, especially in charity work, for which they raise over £5000 each year. The sports college status has now been removed. The School recently achieved its highest ever exam success in 2008 with 73% of students achieving 5 or more Grade A* to C G.C.S.Es. With 65% of students achieving 5 or more Grade A* to C G.C.S.Es including Maths and English. But recently, the school hasn't published any results for the 2015 GCSE results.
Assistant Headteachers - Mrs C. Thornton, Mr A. Leigh, Mr J. Waring, Mrs S. Gibbs and Mr J. Whittaker
