I am privileged to be the Acting Head Teacher of St. John’s Primary School which is a happy, nurturing and engaging learning environment. Our values of respect, kindness, faith, gratitude, courage and determination are at the heart of St John’s Primary School. Our dedicated staff team are committed to ensure that, through working in partnership as a community of faith and learning, every child will realise their full potential. Children learn in an inclusive community, where success and achievement is celebrated. High quality learning and teaching experiences help to ensure our learners are motivated, successful, confident and responsible.
We enjoy working in partnership with our parents and carers to enhance our happy learning environment. We hope, like us, you will see our school as an integral part of the community and that you will become involved in activities and events within the school.
I look forward to working in partnership to support your child to be the best that they can be.
