On behalf of our entire school team, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to St. John’s Primary School. 

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful and historic town of Wallingford, our one-form entry school is proud to be part of the local community and enjoys a strong reputation within it.  We offer a warm and caring atmosphere and are determined that our school is a safe and stimulating environment to grow, learn and work. We pride ourselves on ensuring that all children at St John’s feel nurtured, whilst striving  for the highest standards of achievement.   We promote positive values in all we do, focusing on our core values of Perseverance, Ambition, Curiosity and Kindness and showing that we are Ready, Respectful and Safe in all aspects of school life. 

All members of our school community are committed to ensure that St John’s pupils leave us well-prepared for the next stage of their education, enjoying the challenges that learning brings and are well on their way to becoming successful life-long learners, having experienced an exciting and engaging primary school experience. 

Our ambitious and creative curriculum is enriched by a range of additional experiences, such as Forest School for KS1 and after school clubs.  We plan trips, themed days and visitors to school throughout the year to bring our curriculum subjects to life. 

Pupil wellbeing is a high priority at St John’s; pupils are explicitly taught emotional literacy skills and the school provides individual support when it is needed. 

St John’s is part of the OPEN Umbrella Trust, a collaborative partnership of four forward-thinking primary schools in South Oxfordshire, working together to provide an excellent education for all of our pupils. 

We have a talented and dedicated staff team who are keen to work in partnership with parents to support children’s learning and wider development.  We are also supported by our hard-working PTFA who organise social events for children and families and raise valuable funds for projects within the school. 

We would be delighted to welcome you to our school and would welcome you to book a visit through our school office. 

Kind regards, 

Claire Linfield
