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
As part of their Computing lessons, our Year 5 and Year 6 children have been learning how to program a physical system.
A physical system is when computer code is used to control a real object rather than something that only appears on a screen. By writing and testing their own programs, the children can make a device carry out specific actions such as lighting up, moving, or responding to inputs.
In this lesson, the children worked with their Sparkle devices and successfully programmed them to flash using code. They explored how changing different parts of the program affects what the device does, helping them to understand how programming works in the real world.
Once the children have finished making their automaton in DT, they will take their learning even further by using programming to control and make their automaton move. This is a fantastic way to combine computing with design and technology and see their creations come to life!
It has been great to see the children experimenting, problem-solving, and celebrating when their Sparkles began flashing exactly as they had programmed them to!
Today we were delighted to present participation certificates to some of our Year 5 and Year 6 children who took part in the Sports Hall Athletics event held at St John’s and organised by Links.
The children represented our school brilliantly, showing fantastic teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the event.
Huge thank you to Links for organising the event.
