Clubs and Societies
We are immensely proud at St John's with the vast range of extra-curricular activities we offer our pupils. Details of these are published on a termly basis and may vary depending on the weather or staff commitments. Examples of current and previous clubs include
Netball, Art, Orchestra, Basketball, Stage School, French, Tennis and Gardening. There are many, many more!
Collective Worship
St John's is a voluntary controlled Church of England school. Although we teach the six main world religions, we celebrate Christianity on a daily basis. Our assemblies reflect our rich and varied Christian heritage whilst drawing upon the beliefs and festivals of other cultures in a bid to increase the children's knowledge and understanding.

In our recent OFSTED inspection (June 2005), inspectors said that 'pupils achieve well in religious education and reach standards that are above those expected in the county's agreed syllabus at the ages of seven and 11'.

Prayers are said every day in assembly and in class before lunch and home time.

Parents may make a request to withdraw a child from assemblies and religious education. Such a request would need to be discussed with the Headmaster.
