St John’s Church Of England Vision Statement

“Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life.” (Proverbs 22:6)

“Developing Confident Children and Lifelong Learners”

At St John’s Church of England Primary School, we believe every child is uniquely created by God and has the potential to flourish. We are committed to nurturing each child within a loving, inclusive, and spiritually rich environment, where they are encouraged to grow in confidence, curiosity, and compassion.

Guided by our Christian foundation and the Church of England’s vision to be “Deeply Christian, Serving the Common Good,” we encourage children to recognise their gifts and use them to make a positive difference in their communities; both now and in the future. 

Our Christian and learning values are embedded throughout school life, through worship, relationships, and meaningful learning experiences. These values help children develop strong character, a sense of spirituality, and respect for others.

We are proud to be a welcoming and inclusive school, open to children of all faiths and of no faith. We value the diverse backgrounds of our pupils and believe that through mutual understanding and shared values, all children can thrive together.

We aspire for every child to leave St John’s as a well-rounded, active learner, ready to succeed and to contribute with respect, compassion, and faith. We believe that by nurturing hearts and minds, children are empowered to lead lives of purpose, hope, and service.
