Welcome to Our School
I am immensely proud to welcome you to St John the Evangelist Catholic Primary School. We are all enormously proud of our school and all we do. Our children love learning and strive to do their absolute best. The children surprise me every day with their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn new things and make progress. They are such wonderful children.
St John's is a truly special school, and we have children that are happy, caring, and thoughtful. We, as with all our Trust schools, strive to stretch and challenge each child to enable them to achieve and fulfil their potential. This is not just academically but, also, morally, and socially.
As a Catholic School our faith identity is not exclusive to just our Religious Education teaching, but is interwoven through our daily school life. The values and teachings of the Gospel are foundational to the school and permeate every aspect of what we do. Such Catholic ethos ensures our children are given the opportunity to achieve their academic potential and grow alongside others as children of God. Our ethos is further supported by excellent relationships within our whole school community, and is demonstrated through many acts of charity, led by our pupil chaplains and Mini Vinnies. The Section 48 Report by the Diocesan Board for Inspectors in 2017 graded St Johns ’s an “outstanding Catholic Primary School.”
We have strong links with the local parish community. The children attend Mass in the parish church and we in turn warmly welcome parishioners to attend important feasts and celebrations in school. The local governing body is primarily made up of foundation governors from the parish. They have significant experience in supporting the school leaders in their provision of a high quality education, in a Gospel-centered community. Parents are strongly supportive of the work of the school. They know that it is a safe environment where the staff strive to ensure that all children meet their potential.
We have very high expectations of all children in their learning, presentation, behaviour, attitude, politeness, and manners. At St John's we create the conditions for learning to take place but also for our children to grow in confidence and develop respect and tolerance of others and their opinions; where mistakes are used as a learning experience and where injustice and adversity are challenge.
All my staff are caring, devoted and professional. They work effectively to provide the best possible learning experience for the children of St John's.
The Faith aspect of school and parish community is our most important feature. As we share our parish with St Winefride's Catholic Academy the example of Jesus and the Gospels is lived throughout the daily life of the school. Not only does it underpin all our teaching, but in prayer and worship we help to develop the Faith journey of each individual child. In this we share a partnership not only with you as parents but, equally, with the parish as, for example, with the Sacramental programme.
We have an open door to discuss any points of interest or concerns that any parent or staff member may have. We value all involvement in the education of our children and always want building on this partnership.
I am hopeful we can find the right person to further promote and develop our children’s confidence and strength in Faith, a love and thirst for learning and the skills to make an impact in changing world in which they live.
God bless.
Yours sincerely
Ben Lavin
Executive head teacher
