We are always delighted to hear from our past pupils and to find out what they have been doing since leaving St John’s.

We recently welcomed Roisin Gray (nee McBride) back to school. Roisin greatly enjoyed looking round school, catching up with members of staff who had taught her and remarked on the many changes that had taken place since she had left.

Later Roisin spoke to our year 11 pupils in their Careers lesson about the jobs she had done after leaving school and college and how she is now a support worker in a residential school for autistic children with challenging behaviour and studying for a GNVQ Level 4 qualification.

So, please get in touch with your news and send us your photographs so we can feature you on our website!

The photographs show Roisin and a few other St John’s past pupils when they were here and more recently at a reunion in Leeds. Here’s what they’re all doing:
