From the St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
My introduction as the headteacher of St. John's Church of England Primary School brings me tremendous pleasure and honour.
I'd like to extend a warm greeting to you on our website, which I hope will give you a true sense of our "Learning, Loving, and Laughing" neighbourhood.
You can observe parents, governors, teachers, support staff, and kids engaged in cooperative learning at various times since we truly are a dynamic "community."
Children start their educational adventure in Reception when they are four years old and leave us when they are eleven years old and are ready to start their secondary school.
I'd want to take this chance to brag about our grounds, which the students use extensively for both enriching their learning possibilities and during break periods.
You can read our educational, weekly bulletins online, which will give you a clear understanding of what a bustling, vibrant community we are.
I'd want to share my personal educational principles with you since they guide every choice I make and motivate me to make sure your child receives the best education possible at St. John's.
Second, I want the students who attend our school to develop into moral decision-makers, welcoming of others, and engaged citizens of the twenty-first century.
Our St. John's mission, "Learning, Loving, and Laughing Together," which we proudly exhibit at every opportunity and in all we do, summarises these ideals.
St. John's will always welcome you.
