Proud to be Part of the Bath and Wells Multi Academy Trust. St John and St Francis Church School is a Good school, right on the edge of Bridgwater, Home of Carnival. The Somerset Levels are right on our doorstep. Our children are ready to learn, respectful and polite and know how to keep safe. They enjoy school life and they make firm friendships.
They are curious about the world about them and they strive to be the best version of themselves! The culture around school is friendly, warm, caring and safe. Parents and the community are strongly supportive and we are well connected. Parents are proud of the school and work with us for our children's benefit.
Our parent group, OSCAR are wholly supportive of our endeavours and help us enhance our provision.
