History
Formerly known as St James Choir School, the school was founded on the premises of Grimsby's parish church, St James's (now
Woodard School in 1968 and was incorporated in 1985.[citation needed
]
Girls were first admitted in 1973 and accepted as boarders two years later. In 1975 "choir" was dropped from the school’s name, as it had now expanded to educate many other pupils, and choristers were a minority. Since 2014, the school has no longer educated the Minster's Choristers, who are now drawn from eleven different schools, and open to all.[1][third-party source needed]
Boarding
Boarding pupils at St. James are housed within Woodard House, a purpose built boarding facility opposite the main school campus.[2] The boarding programme is available to pupils in Year 3 and above.
