Here is the latest news about St. John’s School:
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!
We’re excited to share that we’ve opened a Community Pantry to support those in need. Stocked with essentials, it’s open to anyone who could use a helping hand. Donations are welcome—take what you need, give what you can.

We wrapped up the week with a beautiful whole-school May procession, thoughtfully led by the wonderful Mrs. Trivett. The children sang with grace, and we all paused together to pray a decade of the Rosary.
