Exciting times are ahead at St John’s as we continue our transition from an infant school to a primary school. In September 2023 we opened our KS2 provision and currently have years Reception to Year 5 in our friendly and nurturing school.

Are you interested in joining the St John’s family and being part of our new adventures?
Over the next few years, we will become a fully functioning primary school right up until Year 6, which is what the children, parents, staff and governors have been aspiring to for a considerable amount of time.
The governors, staff and pupils are therefore seeking to appoint a skilled and enthusiastic ETA to support groups of children and/or children with SEND who may need one to one support in KS2. This term is a temporary post until the end of July 2025, which could get extended depending on the budgetary needs of the school.

• Able to work in a team and adapt their practice.
• Creative in their approach to children’s learning.
• Enthusiastic and dedicated to enabling every child to fulfil their potential.
• Someone who enjoys taking a full part in the wider life of our school.
• Good quality maths and literacy skills to help the children with their learning.
