St. John’s is a Catholic Voluntary Primary Academy within the Diocese of Shrewsbury. The School has been in existence since 1853, providing education for the children of the Catholic community of Bridgnorth and the surrounding district.

The present School is a single storey building, built in three phases since the 1950’s. There are seven classrooms, a Library, an administration area and hall, with a school run kitchen attached. It is situated within its own grounds, having a playing field, Forest School Area, Reception Garden, a trim trail, buddy benches and two playgrounds. Each classroom is equipped with a well-stocked class library and wet area. Interactive whiteboards are fitted into all classes.
