Here is the latest news about St. John’s School:
A huge well done to our talented musicians, school choir, our whole school and the lovely Mrs Trivett for a fantastic (and hot!) concert this afternoon. The children sang so beautifully and played with such pride - we are incredibly proud of all of them! 🥰
We've had a wild and wonderful morning exploring the mini-beasts of the natural world! The children were buzzing with excitement as they checked out tadpoles in three different stages some legless, some with back legs, and some ready to hop off! We’ve got three butterfly cocoons hanging in suspense and a collection of unfortunate insects who met their end in Mrs. Trivett’s very toasty conservatory.
With magnifiers in hand, we zoomed in on wings, patterns, and textures galore. But the real showstopper? A dragonfly nymph that crawled out of the pond after two years of underwater adventures (and a few tadpole snacks), then split open to reveal a stunning dragonfly! It took off into the sky, leaving behind its spooky-cool empty shell. We even watched a YouTube clip of the whole transformation needless to say, the kids were hooked!
Congratulations to our lovely Year 3 children receiving their First Holy Communion on Saturday!
Wishing you all a joyful and blessed day as you take this special step in your faith journey.
What a fantastic Sports Day we had earlier this week! The weather was warm, our spirits were high, and the field was alive with cheers, encouragement, and brilliant displays of teamwork
Today, Year 5 took their science lesson outside to investigate how to separate a mixture of stones, sand, salt, and water. Working in pairs, they used methods like sieving, filtration, and evaporation to tackle the challenge.
Pupils showed great teamwork and used key scientific terms such as filtration, evaporation, and physical change. The final step evaporating the salty water to leave behind salt crystals will be completed using the sun!
A fun, hands-on lesson that brought science to life in the sunshine!

Year 1 and 2 had an important visit from Rebecca from NSPCC this morning. We even met PANTOSAURUS!!! 🦖🩲
The children learned about the PANTS rules – reminding them that their body belongs to them, and they should always speak to a trusted adult if they feel worried or unsure about something.
They showed great maturity and fantastic listening skills 🤩
Today, we celebrate the incredible dedication, kindness, and hard work of our amazing teachers. From sparking curiosity in young minds to offering a listening ear and encouraging every step of progress our teachers go above and beyond every single day.
A huge thank you to every member of our teaching team for making our school a place where children feel safe, inspired, and empowered to thrive. 🌟
Year 2 have been busy this morning creating some fantastic artwork inspired by The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch 📖💙. It links beautifully with our COASTLINE topic!

Some of our St. John's learners dedicated their time and worked together to collect litter from our school site. We are so proud of them for organising this themselves and for demonstrating the late Pope's message of caring for our planet. Well done to these brilliant role models!
We have had the MOST INCREDIBLE retreat day with the wonderul Dan and Emily from One Life coming into school and spending the whole day with us 💗We gathered together in worship and prayer, filling the school hall with our beautiful singing whilst reflecting on the message that Pope Francis tasked us with this year... to be Pilgrims of Hope 💗😍⭐
A few members of our GIFT team travelled to Cowley to attend the Fr Hudson’s Good Shepherd Mass along with other schools within the PFMAC 🙏🏼⛪️ Bishop Richard led the Mass and James in Year 4 read a bidding prayer so confidently and clearly 🙏🏼🙌🏼 All of the children behaved impeccably and represented our school with pride 🙌🏼😍 It was a joy to spend the morning with them!
