What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
St John's Primary School is highly inclusive and welcoming. Pupils love attending here. The school provides a breadth of exceptional curriculum enrichment activities. Pupils' character development is a high priority. The opportunities pupils have to perform, develop oracy skills and hold eloquent discussions prepare them well for the next stage in their education. Pupils thrive here. The diversity of the school is celebrated. The school has embedded many ways for pupils to understand and appreciate others' heritage, religions and life experiences. Pupils who are newly arrived in the country receive an instant welcome. The multicultural school community is proud to learn from each other and to share its differences and commonalities. Staff have high expectations for all pupils' achievement. The school has a much higher than average proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They are well supported in lessons and are involved in the life of the school. Pupils with SEND, and pupils who are disadvantaged, achieve exceptionally well. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. The school's systems to promote and maintain good attendance are highly effective. The school goes over and above to support families to get to school on time. The school is the heartbeat of the community. Parents and carers value the exceptional opportunities given to their children. 'The Turf @ St John's' facility, which provides community events, is important to the local area. St John's truly embodies the spirit of a community school, with strong partnerships between staff, pupils and families.
