About Us:
St. John's is a small, friendly Catholic school of around 80 children. We are proud to be a small school and we are fully committed in providing our children with many learning opportunities. Our school community is a happy family whose members care for and value each other. We believe this provides the ideal environment for children to learn and grow.
We take both Catholic and non-Catholic children whose parents are sympathetic to our Catholic ethos.
As a school we are committed to the welfare and development of the individual child - spiritually, morally, socially, psychologically and physically as well as academically. As a Catholic school we are responsible for teaching the whole child in the word of Christ as told in the Gospels.
In order to fulfil this Mission Statement the school aims to:
- provide a curriculum appropriate to the individual needs of each child, a curriculum that encourages the development of skills, knowledge, understanding and also of values that hold Christ's teaching as central.
- make prayer, worship and liturgy real educational experiences and to contribute positively to the development of faith of each individual in the school community.
- provide opportunities for personal development within an atmosphere of love and respect for each person enabling children to be responsible for their own actions and to be prepared for life beyond school.
- provide opportunities for effective and beneficial interaction between the school and the home, the parish and the wider community; to enable children to understand that they are an important part of the community they live in.
