The best spot is St. John's because it feels like one huge family. Ruby Year 6. Welcome to St. John's! I'd like to join the staff and governors in wishing you a hearty greeting. This website seeks to provide current information for parents, students, and the larger community while also giving you a sense of the school. Being St. John's pastor and helping the local community's families and kids is a privilege. Since I've been the head teacher here for ten years, I've continued to witness excellent teaching and learning occurring in a friendly and welcoming setting. Due to oversubscription in Nursery and Reception, St. John's is quickly expanding into a two form entry school. As a result, in 2014, we had a brand-new Key Stage 2 facility constructed on Park Lane. We are still working to maintain our reputation as a small, family-oriented Christian school. This is crucial to us and helps our kids succeed in both their social and academic lives. A youngster and their parents always take a significant stride forward when they start school. These are special times and I will work hard, along with my fantastic staff team, to ensure that your child feels happy and valued in our environment and that they make good academic progress, enabling them to fulfil their potential. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you still have queries after reading our website. We warmly accept parental support in a variety of forms and openly encourage ongoing communication. We're eager to collaborate with you for your child's best interests.
