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
Year 6 SATs Week & SATs Breakfast
The week beginning Monday 11th May is SATs week for our Year 6 pupils. The timetable for the assessments is as follows:
• Monday 11th May – Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation (Papers 1 and 2)
• Tuesday 12th May – Reading
• Wednesday 13th May – Mathematics (Papers 1 and 2)
• Thursday 14th May – Mathematics (Paper 3)
To best support your child at home, please try to keep to normal routines—ensuring they get plenty of sleep and eat a healthy diet. It’s completely normal for children to feel a little nervous at this time, so please reassure them that all they need to do is try their best.
At school, the children have been working incredibly hard. They understand that these tests reflect their learning across the whole of Key Stage 2, and they have made fantastic progress along the way.
During SATs week, children are welcome to bring a small mascot (such as a photo or a small cuddly toy) to help them feel settled. They should also bring a water bottle and a healthy snack each day.
SATs Breakfast
We are pleased to offer a free SATs breakfast for all Year 6 pupils each morning of the assessments, starting from 8:20am. This is a lovely opportunity for the children to relax and support one another before their tests.
Please let us know if your child will not be attending, so we can plan food accordingly.
The children have worked incredibly hard all year—now it’s their time to SHINE.
Once SATs are complete, we look forward to a fun-filled final term making wonderful memories together.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
Many thanks,
Mrs Riley, Mrs Bell, Mr Horner and Miss Woods-Booth
