King James Academy Royston (KJAR) is a through school located in Royston, Hertfordshire, England. It is an academy, and opened in September 2019, as a result of the merger of the town's two middle schools, Roysia and Greneway, and its Meridian upper school. The school is spread over 2 sites, with the Meridian site now being the Senior site and the Greneway site being the Junior site.[1]

KJAR received a "Good" Ofsted outcome in all categories on 23 April 2024, with pupils experiencing a well-designed, ambitious curriculum which meets their needs.[2] The school is also well-recognised for its sporting success, with several of its teams winning district titles in 2023.[3] Most notably, its Year 10 boys football team made it to the national U15 Schools' Cup final in 2023.[4]
