Message from Executive Head Teacher, Mr W. Pedro I am the Executive Head Teacher and I, together with my team, lead the school. John Perry is a three-form entry school in Barking and Dagenham, which serves a culturally diverse community. We embrace community cohesion and work well to establish strong, positive relationships with parents, carers and families.
Working in partnership with other schools, we drive forward improvements for children in our local community. At John Perry, we strive to ensure that every child succeeds to the best of their ability. We provide all of our children with an ambitious and aspirational curriculum, which fosters a love of learning for life.
We encourage children to nurture their gifts and talents through a stimulating curriculum and a range of enrichment activities. We have a dynamic team of staff who model exemplary practice across all areas of the school. Our children are provided with outstanding role models.
We take pride in educating and nurturing each child, enabling them to achieve high standards of academic attainment whilst also enabling them to become capable, caring and confident human beings.
