St James's Church of England School and Sports College is a secondary school and located on "Lucas Road" in the Dixon Green area of Farnworth in Greater Manchester, England. It is situated near the M61 and is just south of the larger town Bolton.

History

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 [http://www.fgs.utvinternet.co.uk Farnworth Grammar School] was demolished. There is also a St James C of E Primary School in Farnworth, on "Hillside Avenue".

Exam success

The school is continually achieving high GCSE grades (as often the case with either C of E or Catholic schools), 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.

Assistant Heads - Mr R. Coulson, Mrs. Thornton, Mr A. Leigh and Mr J.W. Waring

Heads of Departments

In 2004, the school started a fundraising project called 'B The Change'. This project was to raise money for many charities including Ryan's Well and Fairtrade. It proved to be very successful and raised thousands of pounds for the charities. Also, the school has their very own wristband for this project. It is blue and yellow (the school colours) and says 'B THE CHANGE' on it. The proceeds of these wristbands also went to charity.
