St John's Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 May 2024

Pupils flourish in this nurturing and safe environment. They are happy, well cared for and instilled with a strong sense of respect. The exemplary behaviour in classrooms and around the school reflects their positive attitudes. Pupils are quick to follow instructions and learn to develop confidence and resilience. This begins in Reception, where they are encouraged to build their independence and care for one another. The curriculum is broad and highly ambitious, fostering deep knowledge and understanding among pupils. In lessons, they show enthusiasm and resilience, with high levels of engagement in their learning. Pupils consistently produce high-quality work across different subjects. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils take immense pride in their achievements. They are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education. The school provides a variety of enrichment opportunities which aim to develop pupils' character and their awareness of the world around them. For example, Year 6 pupils designed apps and presented them to industry leaders. Pupils are encouraged to participate in charity work. They also take on leadership roles within the school, such as representing their peers on the school council. These pupil groups have successfully contributed to changes made at the school, such as designing the new library and outdoor playground equipment.
