Welcome to St John's CE Primary School where you will find a welcoming, inclusive and committed community of learners. Our school serves its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. At St John's we pride ourselves on our knowledge of our children: the children come first in all that we do.
We work hard to know every child, to know their strengths and interests, so that their learning is always challenging and interesting. We work closely with families to ensure that our families are empowered to support their children within and beyond school. Our school's core Christian Values are kindness and compassion, endurance, wisdom and interior posture.
Our school offers a community where everyone is a person known and loved by God and where children are able to understand and nurture their own character. At St John's, we believe that all children are made in the image of God and are unconditionally loved by God.
As a school community, we shape our work around our core Christian Values of endurance, wisdom, compassion and interior posture. I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10
