Welcome
Thank you for taking an interest in our school.
King James's School is an extremely popular and successful 11-16 mixed comprehensive, with approximately 1,050 students, serving south-eastern Huddersfield and surrounding villages.
The origins of our school date back more than 400 years to 1608, when a royal charter was given.
We are incredibly proud of our history, but are very much a school with a 21st century outlook, offering our students high-quality, holistic provision, which allows them to excel academically and socially.
We have high expectations of, and aspirations for, all our students, so that they can flourish.
Welcome to King James's School.
Our Open Evening (for September 2026 intake) will take place on Thu 10th Jul 2025. Please find more details here
