About

At St John's Catholic Primary School, We are proud to serve our local community by providing education for children aged 4 to 11 years old. The Catholic ethos of our school and our commitment to Religious Education serve as the foundation for everything we do.

We foster a sense of belonging and social responsibility both within the school and in relation to the parish and the wider community. As Pope Francis said, An education in the fullness of humanity should be the defining feature of Catholic schools. Our school is a welcoming place where everyone is valued.

We aim to ensure that every child thrives, feels safe, has fun, and enjoys success, regardless of their individual needs and interests. We look forward to welcoming you to our school in the future. We are moving forward together in Christ, placing children at the centre of everything we do.

As a school community, we embody the Gospel values of loving God and our neighbours every day. At St John's we strive every day to be a Catholic school where High academic standards are achieved through an engaging, rigorous, broad and tailored curriculum that meets the needs and potential of all our children.
