"Learning to make the world a better place through Faith, Hope and Love".
We are an Ofsted ‘Good’ School (June 2019)
I am pleased to welcome you to St John’s Angell Town Primary School, where individuals are valued and helped to achieve their personal best.
Our school is a successful and happy Church of England primary school where children are supported to become confident and independent young people, who thrive on challenge, and are motivated to learn. From Reception to Year 6, the children are at the centre of all we do and achieve. We are ambitious for our pupils and their academic achievement, encouraging high expectations and aspirations for children and adults alike. Our school has its own distinctive ‘feel’ .We have a strong emphasis on pastoral support and care for our children, parents and those in the wider community. We believe that the ‘family feel’ at St John’s comes from our caring, supportive and friendly environment Our school is inclusive, safe and learning-focused school, serving an exciting and diverse community.
Caring Christian values are central to the ethos of St John’s Primary School, where each child is known and encouraged as an individual and a unique gift from God able to enjoy ‘life in all its fullness’. We believe in developing independent and resilient learners with a positive growth mindset. Staff, supported by governors, work hard to deliver a rich and challenging curriculum; to prepare children for their future education Our skilled and dedicated staff endeavour to maximise each child’s potential, by providing a wide range of educational experiences and opportunities to help them develop spiritually, socially and morally as well as academically. We live in a global society and to be successful our learners need to have a clear understanding of what respect, tolerance and diversity means. The school actively promotes British Values and recognise their place in our own expectations and vision.
Our school works in close partnership with other local schools, particularly those within the Southwark Board of Education (SDBE) and the Brixton Learning Collaborative (BLC). enabling staff and learners to reach their full potential. Working together brings the opportunity for strong, strategic leadership. It also strengthens provisions and Continued Professional Development (CPD) to ensure the highest quality teaching and learning for children in our schools.
Collaboration between the schools is mutually beneficial to pupils, parents and staff within both establishments. Staff within these partnerships have benefited from sharing best practice, shared training opportunities and support. Pupils have also benefited through extended and enriched curriculum experiences. Through continued collaboration we aim to deliver a creative curriculum that will engage the interests of all our learners, inspiring them to become confident individuals, excited about learning and curious about the world in which they live
