A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our very first Reading Café—it was such a lovely event! The children really enjoyed sharing stories and spending time reading with you. There was a wonderful buzz around the room as books were opened, imaginations sparked, and conversations flowed. It was a joy to see such enthusiasm for reading! We’re hoping to make this a regular event, and it would be fantastic to welcome even more of you next time. Keep an eye out for our summer term date—we’d love to see you there!![](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/images/news/IMG_9401.jpeg) [Reception](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Year 1](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Year 5](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Year 6](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [English](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2248.jpeg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2025-04-08-sports-for-champions-visit-alisha-evanston-tumbling) Previous ### [Sports for Champions Visit – Alisha Evanston (Tumbling)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2025-04-08-sports-for-champions-visit-alisha-evanston-tumbling) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Screenshot_2025-04-10_13.53.37(1).png)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2025-04-10-year-3-how-do-different-people-celebrate-easter) Next ### [Year 3 - How Do Different People Celebrate Easter?](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2025-04-10-year-3-how-do-different-people-celebrate-easter) ### Academy Life - [News](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/events) - [Clubs](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/basc) - [School Council](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Charities and Fundrasing](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/charities-and-fundraising) - ![School Games Gold](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Gold_Logo_25-26(1).png) - ![Healthy school](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/healthy_school.png) - ![Picture News](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/6_Years_of_Picture_News.png) - ![AP smilestar](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Screenshot_2026-07-27_10.26.27.png) ##### Location St James Crescent Darwen Lancashire BB3 0EY ##### Contact Us 01254 703260 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Darwenstjames) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/darwenstjames/) © Copyright 2021–2026 Darwen St James’ C of E Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
