Vision and values

St. John’s aims to provide a curriculum that engages, empowers and inspires a love of learning. It seeks to foster independence, confidence and creativity in every child and to instil Christian values to prepare them for later life. The school values are Honesty, Respect, Empathy, Courage, and Inclusivity. We believe that every child is an individual with different needs and that it is our role to ‘Nurture the Potential in everyone’.

The school focuses on literacy, numeracy and ICT. Learning and thinking skills, and personal, emotional and social skills, are built into every lesson.  Sports are also a big part of school life.

Ofsted report

The report highlighted that 'everyone is welcome in this friendly and nurturing school. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and achievement,  including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Behaviour throughout the school is calm and settled. Pupils are polite and considerate of each other. They work hard and enjoy their learning, often feeling inspired by their teachers'.
