We have been told today that Children's Choice will be closing their shop in Belper in a couple of weeks as they move their business to a new premises, launch a new online purchasing system and become part of Loop schoolwear.
Over the coming weeks we will be able to share more information as we get it, however we have been assured that Loop Schoolwear still want to serve the St. John's communty and that they look forward to hosting 'pop up' shops at events at school.
The new shop will be based in Ilkeston and all information about Loop Schoolwear and their online ordering system can be found on their website. CLICK HERE.
Please be assured that we remain commited to ensuring that school uniform is still easily and readily available at a reasonable price, whilst still hopefully supporting a local business.

Sport afternoon - gazebo help required again - we had lots of brilliant support last week
We hope to have our Infant Sport afternoon on Friday 6th July as planned. However, the weather forecast is for continued hot weather and we need to ensure that we have enough shade for us to enjoy an exciting and safe afternoon.
