St. John's – 'high standards through a caring community' WHAT IS Our CORE PURPOSE? John's Church of England Primary School is a happy, vibrant community where we 'Love Thy Neighbour'.
Our school is committed to nurture and celebrate the varied talents of all our children, to enable them to achieve the best possible progress through creative learning experiences, which prepare them for life and the challenges they will meet.
We will achieve this through focusing on: Our school vision of 'High Standards through a Caring Community' is theologically rooted in the second part of the greatest commandment which tells us to 'Love thy neighbour' (Leviticus 19:18).
