About St John’s Primary School

St John’s Primary School visits the church in St John’s village for key celebrations. Our Year 6 pupils mark their move to secondary education by attending a leaver’s service at Guildford Cathedral. Members of the clergy participate in the school’s assemblies and support our RE lessons. The School’s Christian Assembly Team also takes part in our school acts of worship. We also celebrate main festivals from non-Christian faiths along with considering key values such as kindness, honesty and perseverance through both our assemblies and PSHE lessons.

Educating the whole child

We are committed to achieving enjoyment and excellence in our academic, creative and sporting curriculum. Our lasting legacy is that children leave St John’s with a love of learning and a pride in their personal development that will be taken into their next phase of education, becoming the foundation for a happy and successful future. The staff and Governors at St John’s are passionate about child safety both in school and via the internet and respect for each other is build into everything we strive to do.

Working with Parents

We try to be as parent-friendly as possible and are always seeking to improve, as we strongly believe that children thrive best when schools work closely with parents.

As a parent at the school you will:

• • Receive a termly newsletter about the learning that is taking place
  • Receive weekly newsletters from the Head Teacher
  • Be invited to attend termly parent consultations at which pupil progress and learning targets are shared
  • Be invited to attend a number of events such as class assemblies, concerts, sports days and family picnics
  • Be invited to parent coffee mornings at the start of each month to meet other parents and the Head Teacher
  • Become members of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
  • Have opportunities to attend workshops each year in order to find out about ways to support your child
  • Have home/school contact books which are checked regularly
  • Have opportunities to suggest school improvements and submit ideas to our school development planning meetings in the summer term.

The popular Children’s Centre is within the same building as the main school.

The school is situated just outside of St John’s village in Woking and maintains close ties to the local community and the neighbouring secondary school – The Winston Churchill School.
