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 we get ready to open our doors again on Thursday and start a new academic year, we are also taking a moment to think about our Year 6 children from last year.
They are now getting ready to take the next step in their educational journey as they begin at their respective high schools.
Although they have moved on, they are never far from our thoughts.
We wish them every success as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives
Good luck, Year 7s. We will miss you.
We hope everyone has had a lovely summer holiday and enjoyed some well-deserved time together.
School reopens tomorrow, Thursday 3rd September, and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back.
As we get ready for the new term, here are a few reminders:
School uniform
Please ensure that children come to school wearing the correct school uniform, with all items clearly named. This helps to prevent clothing and belongings from becoming lost or mixed up.
Jewellery
As a reminder, children should not wear jewellery to school, with the exception of a watch and small stud earrings.
PE kits
Please make sure your child brings their PE kit into school. We recommend that PE kits are left in school for the half term. Although PE usually takes place on a set day, this can change at short notice, so it is important that children have their kit available in school when needed.
Water bottles
Please remember to send your child with a named water bottle each day. Clearly naming bottles helps to prevent them being mixed up.
Items from home
A gentle reminder that children should not bring toys, special belongings or other items from home into school unless specifically requested by a member of staff. These items can unfortunately become damaged or lost, which can cause unnecessary upset — something we want to avoid.
School lunches
Also attached to this post is our school lunch menu for the next half term, so you can see what is on offer. The menu can also be found on the school website.
