Here at St John's we offer a broad and balanced curriculum, and we provide a large number of extra curricular activities and many educational visits for our children. Staff also ensure that the children are given exciting opportunities to enrich their learning through arranging visitors to come into school, who bring a new aspect to the curriculum.

Our admissions policy for school is available for download at the bottom of this page and on our school policies page.

St John's Ofsted report, RE Report and School Performance Table are all listed on our Inspection Reports page here. 

The new National curriculum was assessed in 2016 for the first time. New tests with higher expectations were taken by children at the end of year 2 and year 6.

It is no longer possible to compare school results to previous year’s results as children no longer receive a numbered level.

In place of levels children are assessed to check whether they have achieved the expected standard.  Some children may achieve standards above those expected by children of their age and will be judged to be working at greater depth.
 

What does 'expected standard' mean?

The 'expected standard' for Year 6 is met when a pupil achieves at least 100 on a scaled score (which ranges from 80 - 120) in reading; spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG) or mathematics in their SAT tests. 

What are scaled scores? 

The 'scaled score' is the raw score they achieve on their test papers 'scaled' to a score between 80-120.

Children who achieve a scaled score of 110+ on the scaled score are identified as achieving a higher standard.

Outcomes in writing

Outcomes in writing are determined by assessments made by the teaching staff. A child will be assessed by the teacher as meeting the expected standard or working at greater depth within the standard.

Progress Measures

The progress measure for the year group indicates whether the children, collectively, have made progress ‘below’, ‘in line with’ or ‘above’ expectation nationally.

A progress score of approximately 0 means pupils in a school (on average) do about as well at KS2 as those nationally.

A positive score means pupils in a school (on average) do better at KS2 than those nationally.

A negative score means pupils (on average) do less well at KS2 than those nationally.

We work in conjunction with various organisations to offer our parents and carers opportunities for workshops, adult education, qualifications, and information on how to help your child with their education.

Previously, there have been Zumba classes, Beauty courses, Construction and Floral Design run with our partner organisations throughout the year.

Reading, Phonics and Maths workshops have been run for parents, including ways to help you assist your child/children with their maths development. These were a great success and there will be more courses arranged in the future.

For any further information please contact the school office. More details of courses available will be sent as they become available so please look out for letters or posters. 

Please check out our Parental Involvement & Courses page for the latest course information.
