Welcome to our website for St. John the Baptist Catholic Primary School. Thank you for wanting to find out more about us.
St. John's is a small, friendly Catholic school of around 80 children. We are proud to be a small school and we are fully committed in providing our children with many learning opportunities. Our school community is a happy family whose members care for and value each other. We believe this provides the ideal environment for children to learn and grow.
We take both Catholic and non-Catholic children whose parents are sympathetic to our Catholic ethos. Click here for more details on our admissions procedure.
At St. John’s, we:
- have small class sizes
- maintain high standards of behaviour
- welcome both Catholic/non-Catholic families
- have places available throughout the school
- enjoy very high levels of adult support. We have a general teaching assistant in every classroom not attached to specific children
- believe the number of adults is our greatest resource and our children benefit from the small groups that they are taught in
- have achieved Activemark award for our very good Physical Education provision
- and Artsmark Gold– awarded for our excellent ‘arts’ provision.
- attained a 100% pass rate to Churston Grammar (2008)
