It is my greatest privilege to be headteacher of this unique school- the oldest Catholic Primary School in Billingham! At St Johns, we pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming, inclusive community with the teachings of Christ at the heart, and our childrens wellbeing and success, at the centre of everything we do.
I am proud to lead a staff of highly skilled people who work hard to ensure that all children are challenged, inspired, moved and motivated to be the best that they can be. We have a wraparound care offer that runs from 7.30am-8.30am and 3.10pm-5.30pm and offer a range of clubs that include; choir, football, multi sports, pottery and arts and crafts club.
We nurture each childs uniqueness; understanding that everyone has gifts to share and lessons to teach us while instilling values that reflect the teachings of Christ. Our aim is to create a school where children feel safe, happy, and challenged.
We encourage curiosity, resilience, and kindness, guiding our pupils to become confident, compassionate, and engaged members of society.
