St John’s College achieved the overall ‘Excellent’ grade, including the seldom awarded ‘Excellent’ for Standards of Teaching.
Throughout the school, there is a very strong sense of purpose, and a collective ownership and commitment to shared values and aims. The relentless emphasis on high expectations, particularly in the quality of teaching and learning has led to exceptional outcomes for pupils of all abilities.
