St Johns R C Primary School

Mission Statement

As a Catholic school drawing our sense of purpose from Gospel values, we aim to provide a welcoming, encouraging and caring community. Each person is held in high regard and their dignity, worth and individuality is respected.

The curriculum is characterised by the highest standards of teaching and learning appropriate to the needs of all the children.

Christian values of patience, forgiveness and reconciliation should be evident in the personal example of staff in their approach to discipline and in their interactions with each other.

Working in close collaboration with parents and local Church communities the school strives to promote the spiritual, moral, physical, social and intellectual development of all pupils.
