We’re a school that places importance on both education and community, so within our day and activities, you will find life skills threaded through the children’s learning.
We encourage our children not only to achieve with regards the curriculum, but also personally too, learning to be respectful, compassionate and kind people, able to leave our care and take the next step in their life and education.
We encourage you to come and meet us, look around and see if St John’s is the school for your child or a community partner to work alongside in the future.

St. John’s 4 Parkway 0
Yesterday evening the boys A team played Parkway in a home league match.
Although St. John’s dominated the game, the first allusive goal only finally hit the back of the net just before half-time, despite many chances, with the Parkway goal keeper made many fine saves to deny us throughout the game. During increasingly wet and windy conditions in the second half, three more well-deserved goals were added.
A fine performance from the team! Well bone boys!

These are ideas on 'how to go green' written by a pupil at St John's.
How to go Green!
If everybody did just one of these fantastic ideas from the St John’s Eco Council Team meeting then that would be more people across our local community going more green and being one step closer to helping the future generations to have a greener future and have less problems in the world.
Here are just a few ideas on how to go green but I am sure you can think of your own and carry them out:
1. Turn off lights when they are not in use to reduce money and save energy.
2. Walk or cycle short distances to help with pollution and to save you money and fuel!
3. If you are considering buying a new car, think hybrid or electric to help with pollution.
4. Saving water is a massive part of going green and saving money again! (e.g. turn the tap off when you are brushing your teeth)
5. Support local where you can this helps C02 (carbon dioxide) being produced into the atmosphere when flying it over on a plane.
6. The three Rs! Reuse, Recycle, Reduce!
7. Instead of throwing away old clothes and books you could donate them to charity!
8. Plant a tree to help carbon dioxide!
9. LITTER PICK!! (With gloves obviously!)
10. Compost your waste where you can.
11. Don’t cut your grass too short and allow flowers to grow in it. Mow every other week as this improves the habitat for insects and bees who are a crucial part of the ecosystem.
There! Some simple possible ideas on how to go green! I hope you can help the planet in your own way! Thank you! And remember, REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE!

This week, St John’s was visited by our PSHE curriculum provider, SCARF.
They delivered interactive lessons to Year 1, 2, 3 and 4. There was a great range of topics from keeping safe, staying healthy and how to feel great. Year 4 particularly enjoyed the interactive model of the human body which linked well with their digestion topic.
Overall, a great enrichment opportunity for the children at St John’s!
Thank you to Kate who presented this.
