We are proud to be choir school to Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral and provide boy and girl choristers for weekly services and annual concerts at St David’s Hall.
A School Where Every Child Belongs. From age 3 to 18, pupils grow within a nurturing community built on respect, compassion and opportunity for all.
The College’s warm family atmosphere is embodied in the particularly close-knit community of its Junior School.
GCSE performance is more than a reflection of a pupil’s innate ability, it requires a steady and supportive framework of classwork, homework and ongoing motivation throughout their Secondary schooling.
Our Sixth Form students are valued as individuals, each receiving personal care and attention, including comprehensive careers advice and one-to-one UCAS guidance.
Forest School is where our Nursery and Infant children sit to discuss their activities, observations and findings around a log circle amongst the trees in our beautiful grounds.
We are pleased to share the excellent news that St John's College has been commended by the Independent Schools of the Year Awards in the 'Performing Arts' category. The awards recognised the school's outstanding performance opportunities, including our cathedral choir, the range of concerts, LAMDA qualifications and large-scale performances, including Les Misérables.
