Welcome to
a glimpse of St John's Preparatory and Senior School.
St. John's is a co-educational
day school situated in a total
of 28 acres of green belt countryside,
taking pupils from the age
of 4 years old up through the
Seniors to G.C.S.E and 'A'
levels.
The school is on two separate
sites. Prep. is separated from
the Seniors by less than half
a mile, yet we are one school.
The smiling faces in any prospectus,
the scenes of football and
other games are standard images
- indeed they are essential
to an effective learning environment.
However, there is that other
most essential side of schooling
- the side that young people
do not fully appreciate until
later in life, but whose value
will be recognised immediately
by their parents and other
adults. We are referring to
the discipline which comes
from a good education, namely:
the ability to do what you
have to do, when it ought to
be done - whether you like
it or not - and to do it well.
Whatever else we do as a school
to prepare our boys and girls
for the world outside, this
must be an indispensable aspect
of a fine education.
