‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ (Philippians 4:13)

Welcome!

We are delighted to be one of the three partner churches to St John’s Primary School, working together to help children grow in their faith as followers of Jesus, and to thrive as loved children of God.

A Message from our Headteacher:

Welcome to St John's Highbury Vale.

At St John's Highbury Vale, we believe that education is about far more than academic achievement; it's about nurturing the whole child. Every day, our pupils flourish in an environment where we nourish both mind and spirit, helping them grow not only as learners but as thoughtful, compassionate individuals. We offer a comprehensive range of enrichment opportunities designed to inspire curiosity and discover our pupils’ hidden talents: from chess and self-defence to gardening, cooking, coding, science, and an impressive range of sports clubs. Our wraparound care, running from 7:45am to 6pm and led by our dedicated school-based team, allows our families to balance the demands of work and home, confident that their child is engaged, safe and happy. But what truly sets us apart is our unwavering Christian vision. It sits at the heart of every decision we make, every policy we create, and every interaction we have with our pupils and one another. We are more than a school; we are a vibrant community where families are welcomed, where children belong, and where we strive, achieve and thrive together. 

We would be honoured to welcome your family to St John's Highbury Vale.

To find out more about our school, please contact us or visit us for a tour. We'd love to meet you.

With thanks, 

Ms Khan 

If you are interested in applying to St John’s School for your child, one of the school’s admissions criteria is attendance at a Sunday service a minimum of one out of every two Sundays (i.e. at least fortnightly) for at least 2 years prior to applying, at one of the three partner churches.

So if for example, you are hoping for your child to start at St John’s School in September 2027, to meet the admissions criteria above, you will need to have started attending services at least one out of every two Sundays no later than January 2025, as applications are due for submission to the school in January 2027.

We strongly encourage children to join our children’s group StAC Kids, where there is a weekly register taken. This helps us to monitor attendance in the case of school applications.

If you have any further questions, or if we can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here, or with St John’s School directly, by going to St John's Admissions
