We are located in a single-storey building set within pleasant grounds, including a secure astro-turf ball cage and a trim trail that children enjoy using during playtimes. We also have a dedicated planting area where children enthusiastically grow vegetables, fruit, and flowers.
In addition, we are fortunate to be situated adjacent to Stave Hill Eco-Park, which we use as a valuable outdoor learning resource to enhance class-based activities. The school has seven classes, one for each year group, with a maximum of 30 pupils per class. We also have a nursery offering both part-time and full-time places.
The Nursery and Reception classes benefit from their own separate, well-equipped outdoor play areas. The aim of St Johns is to provide a caring Christian environment in which the love of God is present and nurtured.
We seek to support all members of our community in growing spiritually, while fostering an industrious and stimulating environment where every childs potential can be fully developed.
