We published a letter last week with information about the annual flu vaccination program that all children are invited to take part in.
Parents and carers that want their child to have the vaccination nasal spray need to register their child by clicking on the link that is in the letter. CLICK HERE.
The extension date for signing up has been extended to October 3rd.
Good morning everyone,
The team at Compass are really looking forward to meeting you tomorrow afternoon for the parent workshop (2:00 p.m. - 3:25 p.m.) and supporting you with understanding and managing challeging behaviours and anxiety.
Please bring along a notebook/paper and pen if you would like to take your own notes and we would really appreciate it if you could complete a short feedback form at the end of the workshop.
Handouts will also be provided.
Thank you.
Mrs Carvell
Compass Changing Lives Free Parent Workshop
Thursday 26th September 2 p.m.
Thank you so much to the many parents who have replied to confirm your attendance at this free workshop. MHST: Compass changing Lives staff are really looking forward to meeting you all next week.
Don't worry If you missed the deadline for returning the slip. Due to the number of parents that have responded this wil be held in the school hall which means we have capacity for more if you'd still like to join us.
Monday 23rd September is the final deadline so that I can confirm numbers with the team to ensure they can prepare the amount of handouts required.
Thank you.
Mrs Carvell
We are looking forward to the first PTFA meeting of the year. This will be held at school on Thursday 26th September, starting at 7pm.
This is an important meeting as the present team are stepping down from their roles of chair, treasurer and secretary. Many thanks to Coral, Bek and Jo who have supported the school for two years in these roles. If anyone wants to take these roles they are invited to get in touch with the team stjohnsptfa@hotmail.co.uk.
Without a team we will not have events such as the yearly cinema trip, presents from Santa for nursery and reception children, the living eggs, book bag bears, the bark area, Viking coins , year 6 prom and many more that are either run or funded by the PTFA.
It is great to have all the children back in school today and find out what they have been doing this holiday.
We have published a map to help parents and carers picking up their children at the end of the day - CLICK HERE.
Please also remember that tomorrow morning all children in years 1 to 6 will walk straight to their classrooms and not line up on the playground like they did today. Their teachers will be waiting for them in the classrooms.
We are all looking forward to welcoming the children back to school tomorrow on Wednesday 4th September. The school gate will open at 8.50am.
On Wednesday, teachers will be waiting on the playground for the children from 8.50am. Children need to line up in front of their new teacher. Once your child is in their line, parents and carers are asked to leave the playground. At 9.00am teachers will lead the children to their classrooms.
On Thursday morning we will return to normal and children will walk straight into their classes at the start of the day, where their teachers will be waiting for them.
We have published the provisional assessment data for the government tests and assessments that children are required to access at St. John's for summer 2024.
Once again we are really pleased that hundreds of children have achieved to their best abilities. We know that St. John's is about much more than the government tests and the rest of our website celebrates lots of other fantastic opportunities that children have at our wonderful school.
School are legally required to share assessment data with parents and we hope that our website helps parents access information that they want to see.

Unfortunately we have had to cancel the colour run that was due to take place tomorrow on Wednesday 17th July.
This is due to a saturated school field that can not be used for the event.
This is really upsetting for families who were looking forward to the event and for the volunteers at the PTFA who have spent a long time preparing for what we hoped would be a lovely sunny evening on the field.
The PTFA are at present considering options about what could potentially be done to replace the event and to consider any potential refunds. Please keep checking the PTFA website for more information about this.
