Welcome to St John's Church of England Primary Academy – a school where every child is known, valued and encouraged to flourish.

At St John's, we believe we are More Than a School. We are a welcoming and nurturing family where children, staff and families are supported, respected and encouraged to achieve their very best. Inspired by the message of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37), we strive to create a community where kindness, compassion and hope are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Christian vision is brought to life through our REACH values of Resilience, Excellence, Agape, Community and Hope. These values shape our learning, guide our relationships and help our children grow into confident, compassionate and courageous young people who are ready for the next stage of their education and for life beyond the classroom.

We are proud to provide a rich and ambitious curriculum that nurtures curiosity, celebrates achievement and enables every child to discover their unique talents. Alongside strong academic outcomes, we place great importance on developing character, wellbeing and a genuine love of learning. We want every child to feel safe, inspired and confident to ask questions, take on new challenges and make a positive difference to the world around them.

As a Church of England school and a proud member of St Chad's Academies Trust, we celebrate diversity and welcome families from all backgrounds and faiths. Our inclusive community is built on mutual respect, understanding and the belief that everyone has something valuable to contribute.

Our recent SIAMS inspection recognised that St John's is "living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish." The inspectors praised our nurturing culture, inclusive collective worship, commitment to wellbeing, high-quality Religious Education and the strong partnerships that help our whole community thrive.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make, and we are proud of what makes St John's such a special place. We warmly invite you to visit us, meet our wonderful children and staff, and experience first-hand the caring, supportive and aspirational community that we are privileged to be part of.

We look forward to welcoming you to St John's.
