Welcome to Burscough Bridge St Johns Church of England Primary School. Our school is a caring Christian community where we recognise the uniqueness of every individual. We value and encourage everyone to do their best so that we love, learn and flourish . It is our privilege to welcome your children to be a part of our St John's family.
As they leave us at eleven, we are proud to see the accomplished and caring young people they have become. At St John's we offer a rich and lively curriculum, quality sports teaching and a range of additional extra-curriculum activities. Much of our learning is completed in our Forest School and the outside space to make the learning journey as memorable and fun as possible.
This breadth of experience ensures our children develop social, emotional and learning skills which enable them all to reach their true potential. We would be delighted to show you our wonderful school. Please contact us on 01704 893323 to arrange a visit.
