About

Love, Joy, Respect and Excellence - Be the best you can be. A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another (John 13:34) Children are at the heart of all we do. We believe that every decision should be taken in the best interests of the children.

We provide a high-quality church school education and the best life chances through nurturing Christian values of Love, Joy, Respect and Excellence.

We share in the values and purpose of the Diocese of Ely Multi-Academy Trust, the details of which can be found on their website British Values at Stanground St John's Primary School As directed under Government guidance (September 2014) we at Stanground St John's Primary School take opportunities to actively promote British Values alongside Christian Values.

With fundamental British Values being defined by the Government as the following: At St John's we teach a broad and balanced curriculum which integrates teaching the elements of democracy, civic responsibility, rules and laws, the monarchy, equality, values and virtues, environmental awareness and understanding of other faiths.

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

Governing body (5 current, 6 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

1 governor is linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
