Welcome to St Johns Church of England Infant School. I am very proud to be the leader of this school family, assisted by a highly skilled and dedicated team of senior leaders, teachers and support staff who, along with the school's governing body, are fully committed to enhancing our childrens life chances and building for their future.
At St Johns we have high expectations of one another and of the children themselves. We strive for all of our pupils to flourish and grow and leave school as confident, polite and independent young people, with the skills, values and learning needed to succeed on the next stage of their schooling journey.
We aspire to instil in all our pupils a desire to face up to life's challenges, and to demonstrate our 2 school values of faith. and love at all times especially when times get tough!
