"Some Positives and Negatives"

We have been pleased with the progress our child has made at King John School, but there are some areas for improvement. The school's focus on wellbeing is excellent, and the PE and sports facilities are great. However, we have experienced some inconsistent communication from teachers and have concerns about the amount of homework given.

"Great School Experience"

Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time at King John School, attending from year 7 to year 11. We were particularly impressed with the support for students with SEND, and the opportunities for extracurricular activities such as the charity events. We would definitely recommend the school.
