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.

IPSSA Boys & Girls Champions League WINNERS 🏆🥇⚽️🥇🏆

Today our Boys & Girls Football teams took part in their respective IPSSA Champions League Tournaments. Where the winners and runners up from the small schools, medium schools and large schools leagues compete for the big one!

Incredibly, both our Boys & Girls teams won their tournaments! We make history as the first ever school to win both the boys and girls champions league in the same year.

We are also now the most successful team in this tournament across the boys and girls winning the event 5 times! (3 for boys and 2 for girls). The girls team have now won this event for the last 2 consecutive years.

Today, both teams finished in the top 2 of their groups to qualify for their finals, the Boys scored in the dying seconds to win 1-0 & the girls also scored late on to win their final 1-0. Both teams didn’t concede any goals between them across their 10 combined matches.

A fantastic achievement to win this event to go along with their respective Small Schools league wins and finish the year on such a high. A perfect send off for the Year 6s representing the school for the final time.

Well done boys and girls, we are so very proud!

IPSSA Mixed Netball Cup WINNERS 🏆🏐🥇

Our team started their Netball Cup journey back in the Autumn term, winning their 3 group games; 22-0 vs Broke Hall, 10-4 vs St Mary’s & 31-0 vs Cliff lane.
The team then went on to face Rushmere Hall in the Quarter-Finals, winning 23-0.
Up next was a Semi Final against our own B team, which finished 14-0 to the A team.

Today we played in the Final against Sidegate, both teams fully deserving to be there after winning their respective leagues and school games tournaments along with all of their cup games so far and both playing a real high standard of Netball.

In quite an incredible back and forth match, the teams were level at 7-7 after 4 regular quarters. After 2 halves of extra time and some outstanding play, we managed to win 10-8 and win the cup for the 4th consecutive year.

The Netball team have done yet another clean sweep this year, winning every possible competition at primary school level for the 4th year in a row!! Unfortunately no Netball County Finals anymore but the team won the Netball League, School Games Tournament, Woodbridge School Tournament & now the IPSSA Cup, Amazing!!

Well done girls and boys for all your hard work throughout the year.
We are so very proud of you all!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏐🥇🥇🥇🥇
