St John's Catholic Comprehensive School boasts impressive new buildings on an elevated site overlooking the Thames Estuary in Gravesend, Kent. As an oversubscribed school, we have 1150 pupils, an ambitious and supportive Governing Body and great staff.The only element missing from the team that will enable us to achieve greater success is you. St John's prides itself on the provision of curricula with a range of courses to suit the mixed ability of all pupils.
We are travelling on the road that leads from Good to Outstanding and as Governors our goal is to see everyone; pupils, staff and Headteacher, achieve their full potential. We have an excellent team working together which will enable you to concentrate on quality, standards and the job of making a real difference to the lives of our children.
Gravesend sits beside the River Thames and has excellent local, national and international transport links. The countryside of the North Downs, historic cities and vibrant shopping centres are close by. We share our site with a Catholic primary school attended by the children of many of our staff.
