About

St Johns is a church school with God at its centre. We are a happy and friendly school. The purpose of this website is to give you an indication of what we are able to offer you and your child and hopefully capture a sense of our school and the values which underpin all we seek to achieve.

We are very proud of the achievements of all those who form part of our learning community and the way children, parents, staff and governors work together. Starting school is often a young child's first steps away from the family environment and we are very aware of the responsibility of our task.

At St John's we want to work closely with all our parents so that together we can provide the best possible environment and resources for all children to succeed.

We believe that every child has their own skills and talents and we want to nurture these so that each child grows into a confident, happy individual who knows what they want to achieve and how they can use a good education to support them.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
