iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).I am extremely proud to be Head teacher of this happy and successful school. All the staff at St. John's strive to make this a special place to work, learn and play. I believe that the school offers all of its children an excellent education, full of exciting opportunities, challenge and interest.
As a result our children make good progress, experience success and are happy and secure individuals. Happy children who enjoy coming to school are most receptive to learning. We ensure that our curriculum is stimulating, challenging and well planned.
We know it is essential that children feel secure, safe and settled and we start supporting this even before the children start school through a carefully planned induction process. Children who join us, as late entrants are welcomed and great care is taken to help them establish relationships with other children.
We pride ourselves on the warmth of our welcome and the friendliness of our approach because it is in working together that our children will flourish and grow.
