James Watt Primary School

Our school was built in February 1972, but opened as James Watt Primary School in January 2004, following the amalgamation of James Watt Infant and Junior Schools. It is named after the famous Scottish engineer James Watt, whose factory was located near the school site. James Watt was an engineer, an inventor, a scientist, and practical problem-solver who had big ideas and brought these to life. For the people of Birmingham he did a lot of good, was ‘ahead of his time’, and made a difference.
