  SS Philip and James’ Church of England Aided Primary
School (“Phil and Jim”) is a popular school in a
residential area in North Oxford, not far from the
city centre.
With the change from three-tier to two-tier
education in Oxford City, Phil and Jim became a full
primary school in September 2003 and the standard
number of pupils has been gradually increased from
45 to 60 to meet local demand for school places. The
full capacity will be 420 with two parallel classes
in each year.
After working as a split site school for a year we
finally reunited in January 2004 in our large
purpose-built premises on our new site, in
Navigation Way. Our new building is designed around
a series of courtyards and includes a large hall, a
personalised learning centre, resource areas, a
computer suite, a football pitch and a netball
court.
Currently, there are 405 children on roll, aged
4-11. Most of the children live in the immediate
neighbourhood and many are from visiting academic
families. At present we have children speaking 21
first languages, giving the school a welcome mix of
children from different cultures. The caring ethos
of the school is highly valued by its community and
the children are very happy at the school.
We have twelve classes plus the Foundation Stage,
staffed by 14 full-time teachers, one part time
teacher. We have a Sports coach and a German teacher
for two days a week.
