Welcome from Headteacher Suzanne Finlay

Welcome to St. John’s Church of England Primary School, part of the Spire Trust Learning Partnership (STLP). Our school is a blossoming place, and we have strong relationships with our children's families as we work together for the benefit of our whole community.

Our Vision Statement

Shaping lives. Shaping futures.

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.

Proverbs 22:6

Our vision is rooted in our core values of:

Love    Friendship    Truthfulness   Forgiveness

We promote:

• An inclusive and nurturing ethos where children can grow in confidence and knowledge in order to achieve their full potential both academically, socially and morally.
• An engaging and inspiring curriculum that meets the needs of our pupils and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
• Positive relationships and a developed moral understanding for all of our pupils.
• Independence and resilience to allow pupils to achieve their potential
• Self-belief, motivation and a desire to aim high.
• A collaborative approach between parents, school and the local community with the children at the centre.

Spirituality

Spirituality is nurturing an awareness of our world through awe, wonder and compassion and showing love for everything within it; a recognition of a feeling, sense or belief that there is something greater than ourselves; not just what you can see, but also what you can’t.

Here at St. John’s, our Christian ethos forms the foundation of an inclusive, vibrant and safe learning environment where all our children are encouraged and supported to achieve their full potential and to flourish. We have high expectations and love to help our children develop their sense of responsibility and mutual respect for others.
