This has certainly been the most surreal of times and yet as you flick through these vibrant and action-packed pages,you will get a clear picture of what an exceptionally vibrant school St John’s is. Despite the challenges of Covid-19, our children and staff have continually proved they embody the DNA of the St John’s Way.Their enthusiastic and upbeat approach to life is an inspiration to all. One of the many qualities that leaps out of the pages of this kaleidoscope of images is their‘can-do’ , ‘glass full to overflowing’ attitude.They throw themselves heart and soul into everything and it is no surprise that our pupils both past and present are renowned for being those pupils who never take no for an answer.

It has been a total delight to cheer them on from the sidelines, celebrate their many successes and hear about their hopes and dreams for the future. It has been an honour to be trusted with their concerns and to see them wrestle with self-doubt. However,what has stood out for me throughout my time here is how resilient and courageous they all are. Each new challenge and setback they have faced has given them a new resolve to try harder, dig deeper and strive. I am so proud of each and every one of them and applaud you as parents and families for raising such enterprising, outward-looking children.
