"Teach a child in the way it should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."

Proverbs 22.6

Welcome

On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to introduce you to Deepcar St John’s Church of England Junior School. There is a great deal of information on our website. I hope you enjoy finding out about our school.

The school’s vision statement is ‘To create a welcoming Christian community of mutual love and care, where all are valued for who they are, where everyone is inspired to reach their full potential’. We are a church school, a status that we take seriously, and which impacts positively on an ethos which ensures that each individual is treated as special and important. The children are very proud of their school and we are very proud of our children. They love learning; care for each other and are very respectable of each other and adults. They are our best ambassadors!

While it is my priority that the education your child receives here with us will enable them to achieve their academic potential and progress confidently into the next phrase of their education, it is also part of my vision that all our children are filled with positive experiences, that they are aware of endless possibilities that await them and that they are nurtured, in order to develop within them, a confidence to embrace whatever comes their way.

If you would like to know more about our school, you are very welcome to come and visit. The children of Deepcar St John’s very much enjoy talking about and sharing their achievements and our successes.

Yours sincerely

Miss Louise Jones
Executive Headteacher

A reminder about the final inset days of this academic year, which are at the start of the summer holiday.

Important dates for your diary for the rest of this term.

What an amazing afternoon of fun, teamwork, and friendly competition at our Year 5 and 6 Sports Afternoon. A huge thank you to Links and Stocksbridge High School for coming along to St John's and helping run the event. It would not have been possible without their support. A special thank you to Miss Priest for all her hard work, making sure that today was a huge success. And of course, thank you to all the parents who came along to cheer, support, and even get involved at the end. You were such good sports and helped make the day even more memorable. Well done to all our pupils for giving it their all.

Year 3 and 4 Sports Day – Morning Highlights Here are some fantastic photos from this morning’s Sports Day, where Year 3 and 4 gave it their all. All the teaching staff were really impressed with how every child took part. Despite some nerves at the start, they showed great courage and gave each activity a go and supported one another throughout. A big thank you as well to all the parents and carers who came along to cheer them on — your support made the morning even more memorable. Well done to everyone involved!

We’d like to extend our thanks to our Sports Leader and Miss Priest for all the time and effort they put into planning and running Sports Day. Their hard work and dedication made the day run smoothly and ensured that the children had a great time. We really appreciate everything you did to make it a success.
