St. John’s is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled primary school with around 160 pupils currently on roll.  Our smaller than average size ensures a close knit school community where relationships are outstanding and key to everything we do. Our vision of J.O.Y in living and learning is lived out by everybody at St. John’s.   We are immensely proud of our school and would love to welcome an individual who will help our drive for further improvements in the future!

In return St. John’s can offer you:

• A successful school with a strong, Christian ethos and values that respect the individual in all pupils, staff and wider school community
