Now at Cardiff University studying Journalism and Politics, James took his A levels at Caldicot School. Whilst at the school, James loved music, spending many at evening hour playing a hundred year old Grand Piano kept in a special room. The piano, he believes, has been refurbished and has its own room in the new school. James' passion for music continues, whilst reading for his degree, as a singer in A Cappella and Barber Shop groups.
Whilst at Caldicot School, James became Head Boy.
