Tucked away from the bustle of Stanmore Villages high street, St. Johns Church of England School is a hidden gem in the London Borough of Harrow. We pride ourselves on an ethos deeply rooted in the Bible, where Christian values shape all that we do from the way we teach and learn to how we care for one another.
Excellence begins in the Early Years, where our thriving Nursery and Reception classes offer an exceptional start to each childs journey. We cherish every childs uniqueness as a reflection of Gods image, nurturing their growth through an inclusive approach that develops them intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.
A defining feature of St. Johns is our vibrant music provision, which fills the school with joy and creativity. Home to Harrows only primary school orchestra, we offer unique opportunities for children to learn, perform, and shine. Understanding the needs of modern families, we provide wrap-around care from 7:30am to 6:00pm.
We warmly invite you to join a parent tour and discover what makes St. Johns a place where children are inspired to dream, believe, and achieve. Children start back at school after half term
