St. John’s has a fantastic atmosphere, which is created by our children and staff. The school has fantastic teachers supported by competent and highly effective support assistants. Every member of the team is valued from office staff, who keep the school ticking, to dinner ladies who produce the fuel to ensure we function properly!
As a teaching staff we are always willing to discuss your child’s progress and see our relationship with you as one of a team to support and guide the children, the centre of our efforts.
