Governing Body

As governors, we are delighted to welcome you to St John the Baptist C of E Junior School. We pride ourselves in knowing our children well and enabling them to live life in all its fullness. This means that art, sport, a love of reading, and drama, as well as caring for each other and the world around us, are central to what we do.

As a governing body our role is one of monitoring as well as being a critical friend and we are impressed with the dedication of the staff and the robustness of the procedures that have been put in place to keep everyone safe.

We are a church school which means that our Christian Ethos runs through everything we do.
