Welcome from the Headteacher, Janet Dearden

A very warm welcome to the website of Kingsley St John CE Primary School - a small school with a big heart. We firmly believe that happy children learn better and that all children should be enabled to achieve their best. Please browse through our website to find out more about the school, the staff, the children, the caring Christian ethos, the wide range of activities in which our school engages and the high quality education we are committed to deliver for every child.

Ofsted 2010 "Kingsley St John's is a good school. It is an extremely inclusive school. Relationships are exceptionally strong and pupils have an excellent awareness that they should respect people's differences. Outstanding care, guidance and support ensure pupils feel very safe and happy”. “A typical view reported by the vast majority of pupils is: 'This is a loving, caring and very friendly school - everyone gets along with each other.' Those pupils who are most vulnerable and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive superb support, as do their families”.
