Speech Day Speech Day took on a different format this year and was attended via video, due to the recent pandemic. The audience was suitably entertained by music, speeches and prize giving. The most anticipated trophy - for the overall winning house - went to Severn House. Here’s head of Severn Mr Downie with the coveted Crows & Cranes shield.
Remembrance Service To see the school standing so still and silent for the Two-Minute Silence was very powerful. This is arguably one of the most important services in the academic year and every pupil gave of their best. Superb readings from Katie Rayner, Harry Baker, Cai Couchman and Isabelle Eaves, and how moving it was to watch our oldest and youngest pupils (Cai and Eliza Weeks) lay the wreath.
Christingle Service
The Pre-Prep and Kindergarten children enjoyed the magic of our Christingle service, led by the lovely Jane Penny. Our readers did a beautiful job so well done to Monty, Millie and Bastie. It is always amazing to see how carefully the children handle the lit candles and their awestruck little faces. Thank you to everyone who came to join us.

Isle of Man Rugby Tour Our 1st team rugby squad travelled to the Isle of Man to take part in a twoday tournament involving six very good rugby schools. Our boys scored 34 tries over the six games and conceded just three. With our travelling parents supporting them every step of the way,the boys went on to lift the trophy. The tour itself was a great experience for the players to adjust to various environments and conditions. They were highly praised, not only on the field, but also for how they conducted themselves across the board, demonstrating superb manners and excellent behaviour. They really are a credit to St John’s and their families.
