Welcome to St John's Meads

It is the intention of the School to assist each child to fulfil their potential, intellectually, physically and socially. To further this end our aims will be to:

• Ensure a broad, basic education for the children in all curriculum areas through a positive and enthusiastic attitude to learning.
• Create a happy school environment based upon Christian standards.
• Provide a basic command of English through reading and writing, and develop the ability to communicate with, and understand, others.
• Develop the children’s knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of science.
• Develop a knowledge and understanding of basic mathematical operations.
• Provide children with skills in technology.
• Ensure all areas of the National Curriculum are taught through a combination of subject and topic teaching.
• Help children learn the importance of manners, courtesy and consideration for others.
• Encourage children’s independence and create a desire for knowledge through first hand experience.
