St Johns C.E. Primary School

On behalf of all children, the staff and governors of St John’s CE school I would like to welcome you to the school.

I joined the staff of the school in May 2005. As Head teacher, my job is to ensure that we provide a good quality education for all of our children and to oversee the smooth running of the school on behalf of our Governing Body. I am also responsible for the day-to-day management of all staff and children and of the school budget. In addition, I also run our choir and help with performances in the school.

An excellent Christian ethos is present throughout our school and as a committed Christian I feel it is very important to encourage the children to use the example of Jesus of how they should lead their lives. Our daily collective worship is an integral part of school life and we use these times to worship God and to learn more about Him and how this should influence our lives.

The staff of the school work extremely hard to provide a wide range of learning opportunities for the children, including an extensive range of after school clubs. The atmosphere in school is one of hard work, happiness and fun, with children and staff all happy to be at the school. We place great importance on performance in the school, believing that it can raise children’s self esteem which in turn will have a positive impact on their classroom work. The children have many opportunities to get involved in drama and musical activities.

We have strong links with St John's Church and have services there each term. Please have a look at their website to find out more about the church's ministry - www.sjpenge.org.uk

We are all extremely proud of our school and are always keen to meet any visitors who would like to come and get to know us better. If you are interested in having a look around our school, please contact me to arrange a time to do so.

Miss Sarah King

Head Teacher
