We are a community primary school in Waltham Chase, Hampshire, and serve the parish of Shedfield, which includes Waltham Chase and Shirrell Heath. Our Christian values of Courage, Compassion and Creativity form the basis of all we do as we build a learning community together.
We value our links with our community and our parish church of St John s, Shedfield, and have many ways in which parents, carers and community members can become involved in supporting our school. Our 202 children aged 4-11 are proud of their school and their learning and we are proud of them.
Everybody at St John's shares a common goal; to give the best possible education to safe, happy learners. We value outdoor learning, imagination, sports and the arts and seek to help every child to find their love of learning. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit if you are new to the area and looking for a good local school for your child.
We have spaces in some of our year groups. We look forward to welcoming you to St John s.
