About St John's CofE Primary School

Every single parent who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey for St John's CofE Primary School would recommend it to another family, with 100% saying yes. That's a powerful signal, and it's backed up by the school being heavily oversubscribed: for its 9 Reception places in 2025/26, it received 50 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.56 to one. Eight of those applications were first-preference, meaning almost every available place went to a family who had chosen St John's as their top pick. The parent survey, based on 15 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows strong satisfaction across the board. Every respondent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe. A combined 93% agreed or strongly agreed that their child does well, and 87% felt the school has high expectations. The only area where a notable minority disagreed was behaviour: 13% of parents felt the school does not make sure pupils are well behaved, though 87% were positive on that front.
