iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).I am proud to lead and serve John Colet School. John Colet offers a diverse, broad and balanced curriculum supported by excellent enrichment opportunities. We are ambitious and keen to ensure that students are thriving in a vibrant learning environment which provides pace, high challenge and high support.
We strongly believe in a positive learning community where pupils strive for their personal best in mind, body and spirit. The school works to ensure that all pupils do as well as they possibly can throughout school allowing them to evolve as independent individuals equipped to successfully deal with, and manage, the choices and challenges that life has to offer.
We place a strong emphasis on the development of character alongside knowledge and skills so that our students become active and independent learners, prepared for both further education and for their place as good empowered citizens in an increasingly global society. At John Colet we know every individual is unique.
Through our pastoral framework we provide a strong, effective and personalised student centred system that supports every child. Our vision statement: 'Every Student Thriving' drives everything we do and reflects our passion to do the very best with every student in our care.
