"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 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

Children in year 4 are currently working with iMovie during their computing lessons. Over the coming weeks, they will be planning and producing their own multimedia story for the new year 3s to help prepare them for their transition to St John's in September.

Sparkle and Shine This year 4 is always one of the first people ready to learn when he comes in in the morning and at the start of lessons. He always has the things he needs organised and ready in front of him. In lessons he is keen to do well and he can work really hard as both an independent and interdependent learner. He has recently enjoyed the responsibility of being the class monitor for our ‘WOW - Walk To School Challenge’ every day. Well done. Keep up the hard work!

Sparkle and Shine On reflection, there have certainly been several weeks when this year 6 might have won this award before. This is because his attitude is consistently excellent, giving 100% in his own work, being ready to share in every lesson and working co-operatively with others. Indeed, we have recently heard him at times explaining things to others when they have been a little stuck. His excellent attitude has also been demonstrated in a superb discussion text recently. Well done: we are very proud of you.
