iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to our school A wise man once said ' Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today .' St John the Divine Church of England Primary School has been providing excellent educational opportunities in Camberwell since 1872 and I am delighted to be carrying on this tradition.
Here at St John the Divine it is our aim to prepare each and everyone one of our children for their future. We put in place the building blocks to develop individual passions and interests that will enable our children to fulfil their God given potential.
Our school values underpin all we do here at St. John's, they shape our actions and interactions with each other and inspire the broad and balanced curriculum that we offer our children. Do please enjoy viewing our website, and if you like what you see then do arrange a visit with our friendly Admin Team so that you can see our joyful school for yourself.
