‘Life in all its fullness’ means embracing an abundant, broad, deep rich sense of living together through all the ups and downs and twists and turns that life gives us. Our vision is what characterises children’s experiences of the life that we seek to offer them on a daily basis.

To live the life described in John 10:10 is a continual process or journey where we grow and flourish at different times in the trust that God has a plan for us. The children understand that ‘living life to the full’ is not just about all the fun things that happen at school, it is about everything that happens and how we learn to deal with it.

Our mission to “educate the heart, mind, body, and soul” refers to a holistic view of a person, encompassing their emotional (heart), intellectual (mind), physical (body), and spiritual (soul) characteristics, essentially meaning we consider everyone completely; not just in one dimension allowing them to flourish as an individual.

Relationships within the school are further developed by encouraging reflection, enquiry and a sense of ‘wonder’; additionally fostering our other core values of excellence, love and forgiveness. By following these core values, we can truly educate the mind, body, heart and soul of everyone here at St John’s.

St John’s is a unique school where we believe that there should be much more than academic rigor in the classroom. Whether it is playing together, caring for each other, (visit the Buddies section under the School Life link), taking part in sports or exploring creative talents, opportunities abound. We strive to maintain the right balance between enjoyment and achievement so that your child will thoroughly enjoy and benefit from their time here. High expectations are evident in all that we do and successes are celebrated.

St John’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff, parents, governors and volunteers to share this commitment so that our pupils can thrive in a safe and caring environment.

Although the information available on this website gives you an insight into our life here at St John’s, a visit to the school is strongly recommended. We are confident that, after experiencing the warmth and happiness of the children and staff, you will leave convinced that St John’s has that something extra about it which is just right for your child.
