"Mixed experience"

While we've had some positive experiences with the school, we've also had some issues with communication from the teachers. However, we appreciate the school's commitment to promoting British values and providing a range of extracurricular activities.

"Faith in action"

As a former parent of a child who attended St John's, I can attest to the strong Catholic values that underpin the school. The staff and governors work tirelessly to provide a supportive environment for children to grow in their faith and learn valuable life skills.
