WHY ST. JOHN'S?
An outstanding education built on kindness — high-quality teaching and a curriculum where every child is known and valued. As Ofsted put it, "kindness runs like a golden thread through St John's." Our GOLD Rights Respecting Schools Award reflects a community where children treat one another with genuine respect.
A proud Catholic school with a warm welcome for all — a caring, vibrant community with strong parish links, where families of all faiths and none feel at home. With four KS2 residentials and a committed staff team, children grow in confidence, friendship and belonging from their very first day.
Incredible grounds and a play strategy that makes every lunchtime count — with our OPAL play approach, children spend their free time in rich, active, imaginative play. Add an allotment, forest area and astroturf, plus daily sports coaching at lunchtime and after
school, break times become some of the best learning of the day.
An extraordinary clubs offer (over 30 every week!) from sport (football, dodgeball, athletics, rugby), Pop Choir and our Irish Band to Forest School, cookery, art, textiles, yoga and so much more. Whatever interests your child up, they'll find it here!
Wraparound care that works for real family life — morning care and aftercare from 7.45am to 6pm for everyone who wants it, bookable in advance, with emergency wraparound available every day.
