St Mary’s and St John’s (SMSJ) School is a Church of England Foundation, supported by the London Diocesan Board for Schools (LDBS) and the London Borough of Barnet.  In 2014, the LDBS in partnership with Barnet Local Authority expanded SMSJ into an all-through school located across three campuses.

Nursery, Reception and Years 1 to 4, are located at our Neale House Campus (NHC), Prothero Gardens. Years 5 to 8 are located at our Bennett House Campus (BHC), Sunningfields Road and Years 9 to 13, at our Stamford Raffles Campus (SRC), Downage. With Christ every day, every task, every situation, every relationship brims with divine possibility.  God is always at work in our lives.

Our vision is drawn from Matthew’s gospel in which Jesus is talking to his disciples about what they must do if they hope to inherit eternal life.  Here, Jesus speaks about the value of serving others in order to store up treasure in heaven.  Jesus’s wisdom guides us to acknowledge that wealth is not material but that true wealth is gained from working collaboratively for the common good.

We will realise our vision by ensuring our children are at the centre of everything we do, relentlessly focusing on the development of highly literate, articulate, resilient and confident individuals. Our students will be equipped with the ambition, qualities, qualifications and values necessary to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world, knowing that God is always at work in our lives.
