St John's C of E Primary School

St John's C of E Primary School St John's is a church school with God at its centre. We are a happy and friendly school. We are a happy and friendly school. Mrs J Betts

Headteacher

The purpose of this website is to give you an indication of what we are able to offer you and your child and hopefully capture a sense of our school and the values which underpin all we seek to achieve. We are very proud of the achievements of all those who form part of our learning community and the way children, parents, staff and governors work together. Starting school is often a young child’s

first steps away from the family environment and we are very aware of the responsibility of our task. At St John’s we want to work closely with all our parents so that together we can provide the best possible environment and resources for all children to succeed. We believe that every child has their own skills and talents and we want to nurture these so that each child grows into a confident, happy individual who knows what they want to achieve and how they can use a good education to support them. I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of a school with such a committed and hardworking staff and governing body, positive Church links and an active and supportive parents association.

Half way through the school year already! Here’s what we’ve been up to with sports so far:

Football:
Our Boys ‘A’ team have played a lot of matches and tournaments so far this year. They went unbeaten in the School Games tournament, winning 3, drawing 2 and not conceding a single goal, but it wasn’t quite enough to get to the Final that day. They then took part in the EFL Kids Cup at Portman Road, this time making it all the way to the final, but unfortunately losing on penalties. After exiting the IPSSA Cup in the first round, the boys have found some really good form in the IPSSA League. Winning 3 and drawing 1, with some very impressive performances. 4 more games to go in the league!
Our Boys ‘B’ team played in the IPSSA Cup but also went out in the first round. Still a good experience for all playing with most of the team consisting of year 5s.
Our Girls team have had a great set of results to follow up a positive School Games tournament for them. They are through to the IPSSA Cup quarter finals after victory over Morland and Holbrook. They have also won their first 2 IPSSA league games!
We also took a mixed team to the School Games festival, all boys and girls had a great time representing the school.

Netball:
A perfect start for our ‘A’ team so far, winning all 3 of their IPSSA Cup group stage matches & winning all 3 of their IPSSA league games so far. The team have 2 league games left and are through to the quarter-finals of the cup.
Our ‘B’ team also had a fantastic set of results in the Cup, winning 2 & drawing 1 of their to win their group and also progress to the quarter finals!

Basketball:
Lots of basketball events recently, we had a group of boys & girls who took part in the School Games U9s & U11s Festival, all having a great time and representing the school fantastically. We then took a team to the School Games U11 Tournament, the team won 4 out of their 5 games and narrowly missed out on winning the competition by goal difference (just 1 basket difference!).

SportsHall Athletics:
Lots of boys & girls from year 5 & 6 done a fantastic job performing in this School Games competition, after some fantastic running and field events, we finished 4th out of 23 schools, the highest ranking small school for a third year in a row at this event.

Other:
We also attended the School Games Festivals for U9s Dodgeball & U11s Bowling! All the children had a great time and again represented the school superbly.

Well done to everyone involved & still plenty more to come in the second half of the year! ⚽️🏐🏀🤾‍♂️🏃‍♀️‍➡️🎳
