St John's School Ethos


Statement of Intent


The St John's education seeks to find what each girl and boy is fitted for in order that they may purposefully prepare for the first part of their life and be fulfilled in their chosen calling. The time at St John's is one in which each pupil discovers and develops their intellectual capacity, their spiritual needs and through a breadth of different experiences, the person they are and the contribution they can make thereafter. Each boy and girl is valued and nurtured on the basis of who they are and not according to year group, sex, natural gifts or background. It is a preparation for life.


Core Objectives

In accordance with its Christian foundation, the core objectives of the St John's School education are:

• To provide an environment in which pupils can discover and develop their spiritual, intellectual, social, cultural and physical qualities to the full.

• To aspire to high standards, which promote a culture of success in which confidence, high self-esteem and the power of action prevail.

• To create a happy and secure environment in which pupils learn to live together in order to foster a sense of community, co-education, respect for each other and good citizenship.

• To give pupils the opportunity to take advantage of a wide breadth of extra-curricular activities in order to develop all aspects of their character.

• To provide opportunities for leadership and responsibility in order to prepare for life beyond school.

• To enable all members of staff to strive for professional fulfilment in their work through appropriate responsibilities, opportunity and meeting their aspirations and expectations.

• To encourage parents to share in its aims, participate in its life and consider it as an extension of their own nurture at home.
