A Welcome From the Head Teacher

I am delighted to welcome you to our school website.

The photograph above was taken just after our Ofsted Inspection in June of last year when we were judged to be an outstanding school.

Since then I am delighted to say The Commission for Social Care Inspection has said the level of care in St John's is excellent and we have also achieved Specialist School Status. Our school goes from strength to strength.

I hope you will find the website helpful and informative. Please get in touch with school if you have any questions or you would like to arrange a visit.

Head Teacher

On-line shopping and fundraising
Did you know that you can now shop on-line and raise funds for school at the same time?Take a look at our What's New Page where there's a link to our brand new  web shop!

SEN Specialist School
We are delighted to have become a SEN Specialist School in the field of sensory and physical impairment and our campaign to raise the outstanding amount of money needed to build and equip our Expressive Arts Resource is well underway

We have already hosted a number of fundraising events to help us to secure the money we still need e.g. a highly successful Barn Dance, an Evening with Dr Paul Whittaker OBE. (See the What's New page for more information) and our Annual Charity Christmas Fair. Last term we had an Evening of Jazz with the Tina Featherstone Trio and special guest Sam Murray and an evening with Fr Rainer from Ampleforth Abbey is planned for the summer term.

A pack containing ideas of how you can help the EAR Campaign is available from school.

Gold Medal Success!
Congratulations to Calum Donkin in our Post 16 department on winning a gold medal at INAS-FID World Athletics Championships in Brazil recently. Calum won his medal in the 100 metres event. He came 1st in his heat, the quarter and semi finals and then the final itself, beating atheletes from all over the world.(See 'What's New' page)

Songs of Praise
We were delighted to feature in this very popular BBC programme on Sunday 6 January along side the school's very good friend Dr Paul Whittaker OBE.
