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
This week, the children in Year 5 and 6 started a new science topic, where they’ll be studying the hedgehog population in our local area. Working in teams, the children have set up hedgehog tunnels and placed bait to attract them inside. They’ll be monitoring the tunnels and checking for footprints left behind, helping them track the hedgehogs’ movements. After a week of monitoring, the children will compare their data to that of previous years to see if the hedgehog population is increasing or decreasing. It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to apply scientific methods and learn about how local wildlife is changing over time.
Today, our Year 6 children kicked off their Bikeability training, and what a great start they made! Learning road safety is so important as it helps our children become confident, responsible cyclists. It's not just about riding a bike—it's about knowing how to stay safe on the roads. The skills learned today will empower them to ride safely in the future. whether it’s cycling to school or out and about with family.
