An exciting start to the autumn term at
St John the Evangelist CE Primary School
It has been an exciting start to the autumn term 2015 as we have welcomed
60 new children into our reception classes and over 30 spread across our
two nursery groups, as well as new families across the school. Following our
successful Ofsted in July 2014, we have continued to see our school go from
strength to strength and the number of children on roll increase.
Last year we worked with all children, parents, staff and governors to agree our
new mission statement, ‘Caring for Others, Achieving Excellence’. Our mission
and values of respect, unity, self-belief, success, responsibility and inspiration
now underpin all we do across our school community. This term we have
been reflecting the meaning of our values through the arts. We are excited to
be working with an artist in residence this term to create silk banners for our
school corridor.
We are very lucky at St John’s to be supported by a wonderful parent body
and Home School Association. Last year we raised over £10,000 towards the
development of a new school library. As I write, the library is being installed and
will soon be a resource for all of our children and families. Our Home School
Association plan a range of events over the course of the year. Forthcoming
events will include our very popular annual Christmas Fayre.
